📞 Call 0418 383 232

Switchboard upgrades in Shoreham cover generational holiday homes and older houses whose electrical systems have not had attention in decades, and new builds and major renovations. Impulse Electrical Contractors opens the board on site from our Dromana base and leaves a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES).

A pre-sale inspection starts with the switchboard, the wiring and the safety switches. An EV circuit, outdoor entertaining and smart home integration are noted before a new breaker is added. When the board has no spare way, it is replaced first. Call 0418 383 232.

Why choose Impulse Electrical in Shoreham?

Older holiday homes and new boards

Many generational holiday homes still have the original board. We inspect the installation, label the circuits and fit safety switches before we sign off. A new build or major renovation is planned with the builder and the owner. Lighting design, outdoor entertaining and smart home integration each need a way on the board. Spare ways can be left for a later circuit. Those loads are written down before the board is built, so the finished board matches the house.

The wharf, the bay and the board

Shoreham sits on Western Port Bay, with calm bay water and a historic wharf. Salt air corrodes standard outdoor fittings. Marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials are used for outdoor power points, lighting and enclosures. The wharf is the landmark. The board we certify is the one in the house we were asked to open.

Pre-sale electrical inspections in Shoreham cover the switchboard, the wiring, the safety switches and the smoke alarms, then any remedial work the inspection identifies. A holiday home and a new build are different visits. The holiday home is opened and reported as it stands. The new build is wired with the builder so lighting, outdoor entertaining, smart home circuits have room. Call 0418 383 232. We come from Dromana. Emergency callouts run 24/7. Each breaker is labelled, including the outdoor entertaining circuit when that work is on the same visit. The protected bay and the wharf stay landmarks. The certificate matches the board we tested that day. Older wiring is described in the inspection notes before any breaker is changed, so the owner can see what was there. A renovation that keeps part of the old house has the old board and the new circuits named separately.
