WHAT WAS THE ISSUE?

A body corporate in Saint Lucia contacted Fully Wired Electrical Services after discovering their building still relied on old ceramic fuses. On top of that, the existing switchboard had no room for future expansion, making it unsafe and non‑compliant compared with modern electrical standards.

WHY WOULD A SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE BE NEEDED?

Old fuses can overheat, trip unpredictably, and fail to protect residents from electrical faults. In addition, there was limited space within the switchboard for expansion to allow for all residents.

Our team is finding more and more of our Brisbane and Coastal Body Corporates are reaching the limitations of their current switchboards and so are seeking our help to upgrade for the following reasons:

• installation of EV Chargers
• inability to add new circuits
• continuous outages
• installation of new air conditioners
• installation of modern appliances such as induction cooktops etc.
• meeting electrical safety compliance and insurance purposes

WHAT DID FULLY WIRED ELECTRICAL SERVICES DO?

Our team completed a full switchboard upgrade for all 5 units, replacing outdated fuses with modern safety switches providing long‑term safety, compliance, and future‑proofing for the entire complex.
