Home / Switchboard upgrades

Switchboard upgrades and safety switches.

Old ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or no room for that new circuit? We replace tired switchboards with modern, properly protected boards across the Gold Coast.

Signs your switchboard needs attention

  • Ceramic rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
  • No safety switches (RCDs), or only one protecting the whole house
  • Breakers that trip often, or lights that flicker when appliances start
  • Scorch marks, a burning smell, buzzing or a warm board
  • No space for new circuits for an air conditioner, EV charger, induction cooktop or solar

Why safety switches matter

A safety switch cuts power in a fraction of a second when it detects current leaking to earth, which is often through a person. Older homes frequently have none, or only a single switch covering every circuit. Modern boards split the circuits across several safety switches, so one fault doesn't black out the whole house.

Landlords: Queensland rental properties must have safety switches protecting power-outlet circuits. If you're not sure your property complies, we can check.

What's included

A new enclosure where needed, circuit breakers, safety switches across power and lighting circuits, a clearly labelled board, full testing and a certificate of testing and compliance. Where the meter or main supply also needs work, we'll explain exactly what's needed and why.

FAQ

Common questions.

Most homes are done in a day. Power is off for part of that time, and we will agree a plan with you beforehand.

Often, yes, especially with older boards. We check during the quote.

There is no blanket requirement, but buyers and building inspectors often flag old fuse boards, and rentals need safety switches.
