POWERED ELECTRICAL
Switchboards & Metering
At Powered Industries, we ensure your property’s electrical infrastructure operates safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Australian regulations.
Switchboards and meters are the backbone of any electrical system, critical to managing power distribution, preventing hazards like electrical fires or equipment failure, and optimising energy usage for cost savings and sustainability. Faulty, outdated, or overloaded systems pose severe risks, including unexpected downtime, costly fines for non-compliance, and even life-threatening emergencies.
Our licensed electricians specialise in advanced switchboard installations, upgrades, and metering solutions tailored to residential homes, commercial facilities, and industrial complexes across Melbourne. Whether you’re modernising an aging switchboard to support smart technology, installing submetering to track energy consumption in real time, or ensuring compliance with the latest AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards, we deliver precision-engineered solutions. Using premium components from trusted brands and diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and load testing, we prioritise safety, regulatory adherence, and long-term reliability in every project.
From upgrading residential switchboards to accommodate solar power and EV chargers to designing high-capacity industrial metering systems, we future-proof your infrastructure to meet evolving demands. Our end-to-end service includes thorough risk assessments, transparent quoting, and post-installation compliance certifications, giving you peace of mind that your property is protected, efficient, and audit-ready.
Trust Powered Industries to be your partner in safeguarding your investment, reducing energy costs, and maintaining uninterrupted power.
