Why it matters
Your switchboard is the first line of protection.
Every circuit in the house runs through it. Older boards use ceramic fuses and often have no safety switch on some circuits.
A safety switch (RCD) cuts the power in a fraction of a second when current leaks to earth, the kind of fault that injures people. A modern board protects your power points and lighting, and leaves room for what you add later: solar, a battery, an EV charger, air conditioning.
Signs it's time
When to upgrade.
Ceramic fuses, or circuits without a safety switch

Buying, selling or renting
Queensland's safety switch rules
An approved safety switch is required on power point circuits in homes that are sold or rented. A buyer must have one installed within 90 days of taking possession, and landlords need one for rental homes. We can check yours and fit what's needed.

The power is off for part of the job, and we'll tell you how long when we book. We test everything and walk you through it.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade to install solar, a battery or an EV charger?
Often, if the board is old or full. We check when we quote and tell you before anything is booked.
Will my power be off?
For part of the job. We'll tell you how long when we book it, so you can plan around it.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?
It depends on your board, your wiring and what you're adding. You get a written quote after we inspect, so the price is clear before we start.
Are safety switches required in Queensland?
They're required on power point circuits when a home is sold or rented, and we recommend them on every circuit in every home.
Can you move my switchboard?
Yes, including sub-boards. One customer had theirs moved from a bedroom to under the house.
