DB Board Installation & Repair Claremont | Surge Protection & Breakers

About Our DB Board & Distribution Services in Claremont

Claremont's Southern Suburbs location means many homes date from the Victorian era through to the 1970s, with DB boards that reflect each generation of electrical standards. Some properties still have original fuse boxes with rewirable fuse wire, while others have early circuit breaker boards that lack earth leakage protection and have no provision for surge protection.

Abacas Solution has been upgrading DB boards in the Southern Suburbs for over 25 years. We understand the unique challenges of older Claremont homes -- limited space for larger boards, existing wiring that needs careful assessment, and the need to balance modern safety requirements with the character of period properties.

Claremont's older wiring was designed for basic lighting and a few plug points. Today's homes demand circuits for air conditioners, underfloor heating, home offices, and modern kitchens. A DB board upgrade is often the essential first step in bringing an older Claremont home's electrical system into the 21st century. Call 067 071 9472.

As part of our Claremont electrical team, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every job in Claremont.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Claremont home still has fuse wire -- is that safe?

Fuse wire provides basic protection but lacks the speed and reliability of modern circuit breakers. It also means you likely have no earth leakage protection. We strongly recommend upgrading.

Can you upgrade my DB board without rewiring the whole house?

In many cases, yes. If the existing wiring is in acceptable condition, we can upgrade the DB board and add modern protection without full rewiring. We assess on site.

How much does a DB board upgrade cost in Claremont?

Costs depend on board size and complexity. Older homes may need more work to bring the board area up to standard. We provide detailed quotes after assessment.

Will a new DB board help with my tripping problems?

Often yes. A modern board with correctly rated breakers and proper earth leakage can resolve persistent tripping issues while maintaining safety protection.

Do you issue CoCs for Claremont properties?

Yes, every upgrade includes a Certificate of Compliance -- essential for property sales and rentals in the Southern Suburbs.
