FAQ

Questions we hear often

Practical questions, straight answers
How do I know if my DB board needs an upgrade?
Common signs are nuisance tripping, warm breakers, burning smells, flickering lights, or an old board with poor labeling. We do a full inspection and tell you exactly what should be upgraded and why.
Can you repair only the faulty part, or must it be fully replaced?
If the board is fundamentally sound, targeted repairs may be enough. If safety, capacity, or compliance is compromised, we recommend full replacement. We always explain the most sensible option for your budget and risk profile.
Do DB board upgrades include a COC?
Yes. On qualifying electrical work, we issue a Certificate of Compliance as part of the completed job.
How long does a typical upgrade take?
Most residential DB board upgrades are completed within a day. Larger commercial boards can take longer depending on circuit count and access.
