Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are some quick answers to common queries about our electrical and security services across Adelaide.
How much does it cost to upgrade a switchboard in Adelaide?
Upgrading a switchboard in Adelaide usually costs between $950 and $1,800, depending on how old your current board is, how many circuits you have, and whether we need to fix any related issues like outdated mains cabling or asbestos panels. Many homes still have older fuse-style boards that aren’t compliant with current safety standards and lack RCD protection, which puts you and your property at risk.
At H. Irwin Electrical, we inspect the setup first to assess what needs replacing and whether extra work like surge protection, rewiring, or earthing upgrades are required. We use trusted brands like Clipsal and Voltex for all components and make sure the entire installation meets the latest AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in South Australia?
Yes. Every electrician at H. Irwin Electrical is fully licensed and insured to perform residential and commercial work across South Australia. We hold an electrical contractor’s licence and comply with the latest wiring standards to ensure every installation is safe, legal and fully documented.
Our team also stays current with industry requirements through regular NECA updates, and we always carry public liability insurance for added protection on every job. Whether it’s a new install, an upgrade, or a fault repair, you can be confident that the work we do is carried out by properly qualified professionals.
Do you offer after-hours or emergency electrical services?
Yes. H. Irwin Electrical offers after-hours call-outs for urgent electrical issues that can’t wait until the next business day. This includes power outages, repeated tripping circuits, burning smells from switchboards, or any signs of arcing or exposed wires.
We take electrical safety seriously and do our best to respond quickly to genuine emergencies across Adelaide. While after-hours rates do apply, we’re always upfront about pricing before dispatching a technician so there are no surprises when we arrive.
Do you provide electrical services for home renovations and extensions?
Yes, we regularly work on home renovations, extensions, and additions, handling all electrical aspects from planning to final testing. Whether you’re upgrading a kitchen, adding a new room or converting a garage, we coordinate with your builder or project manager to make sure the electrical work fits the layout and complies with all current codes.
At H. Irwin Electrical, we provide rewiring, new circuits, lighting plans, power point placement, and switchboard changes as needed to suit your updated floor plan. We also take care of all compliance paperwork and testing so that everything is safe, functional and signed off before handover.
