Switchboard Upgrades Sunshine Coast

Is Your Old Switchboard Putting You at Risk?

Those ceramic fuse boxes from decades ago weren’t built for today’s electrical demands. Multiple air conditioners, pool pumps, home offices… they all need proper circuit protection. An outdated switchboard can’t handle it. Worse still, without safety switches you’re exposed to electric shock. We upgrade switchboards to current Australian Standards. New RCD safety switches, proper circuit breakers, surge protection. Everything labelled clearly so you know what’s what.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Switchboard Upgrades

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

Old ceramic fuses are the main giveaway. If you’re still using wire fuses, it’s definitely time. Other signs include flickering lights, circuits tripping regularly, or burnt smell near the board. Any switchboard over 25 years old should be assessed.

What’s included in a switchboard upgrade?

We replace the entire board with a modern unit. Install safety switches on all required circuits. Add proper circuit breakers sized for your needs. Include surge protection and clear labelling. All work meets current AS/NZS 3000 standards.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades take 4-6 hours. We turn off power during installation but work efficiently to minimise disruption. Complex homes with solar or three-phase power might take a full day.

Do I need council approval for a switchboard upgrade?

Generally no council approval needed for straight replacements. We handle all the electrical compliance certificates though. If we’re relocating the board or upgrading your mains, then yes, council approval might be required. We’ll advise you upfront.

Will upgrading my switchboard reduce my insurance?

Many insurers offer discounts for homes with modern electrical safety features. An upgraded switchboard with RCD protection shows you’re serious about electrical safety. Worth checking with your insurer. We provide all documentation they might need.
