Mains & Supply Upgrades
(Three-Phase, Meter Panel Replacements)
Your home or build relies on its mains and supply for safe, consistent power delivery. If your system is outdated or under capacity, you risk frequent trips, inefficient performance, or safety hazards.
Quality Electrical Contracting specialises in mains upgrades, three‑phase supply installations, and meter panel replacements to keep your property future‑ready and fully compliant.
Do You Need an Upgrade?
When to Consider an Upgrade
You should consider an upgrade if you’re planning major renovations or home extensions, as new wiring often places additional demand on your electrical system. The same applies if you’re installing high-demand appliances such as induction cooktops, ducted air conditioning, or EV chargers, which require more capacity than older systems can provide.
For sheds, studios, or properties requiring three-phase power to run machinery or heavy-load appliances, an upgrade is often essential.
If your property has an old, damaged, or non-compliant meter panel, replacing it is critical to ensure safety, compliance, and long-term reliability.

F.A.Q.
When to Consider an Upgrade?
Do I need a switchboard or mains upgrade for a home renovation?
Yes — if you’re adding new wiring during a renovation or extension, upgrades are often required to handle the extra load and ensure compliance with current safety standards.
What does frequent tripping mean?
If your power is tripping regularly, it’s usually a sign that your current system is undersupplied or struggling to cope with the load. An upgrade can resolve these issues and improve safety.
Will installing new appliances affect my switchboard?
High-demand appliances such as induction cooktops, ducted air conditioning, and EV chargers typically require dedicated circuits or greater capacity, which may mean upgrading your switchboard or mains supply.
Why is maintaining my meter panel important?
Old, damaged, or non-compliant meter panels can pose serious safety risks and may prevent your property from meeting insurance or compliance requirements. Replacing them is often essential during upgrades.
