Re-Energisation Services
Power Disconnected by SA Power Networks (SAPN)? We Can Help.
If your property's power has been cut off by SA Power Networks (SAPN) due to unsafe wiring, an outdated switchboard, or non-compliant electrical work — Switch Electrical can get you safely reconnected.
We offer fast, compliant, and hassle-free re-energisation services across Adelaide for both residential and rental properties.
What’s Involved?
When SAPN disconnects the power, it’s usually due to one of the following:
Old or unsafe fuse boxes
No safety switches (RCDs) installed
Non-compliant or deteriorated wiring
Missing or inadequate earthing/bonding
Hazardous conditions reported during a meter upgrade or fault call-out
We assess, repair, and upgrade your electrical installation to meet current safety standards.
Our Re-Energisation Service Includes:
Urgent site attendance to assess the issue
Fault finding to identify unsafe conditions
Repairs or upgrades to the switchboard and wiring
Installation of safety switches, new main earth, and bonding if required
Full compliance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules
Issuing an eCoC (Electrical Certificate of Compliance)
Lodging a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) with SAPN
Liaising with your energy retailer and SAPN to coordinate re-energisation
Optional switchboard replacement, if required for long-term safety
We handle the paperwork, the compliance, and the coordination — so you’re not left in the dark.
