What Is a Switchboard Upgrade?
A switchboard upgrade replaces an old fuse box or undersized board with a modern, safety-switch protected switchboard rated for today's appliance loads. Upgrade old fuse boxes to modern, safety-switch protected switchboards that meet current QLD standards. Many older homes across Ipswich still run ceramic fuses with no safety switch protection at all.
Signs Your Switchboard Needs an Upgrade
- Ceramic fuses or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
- No safety switches (RCDs) protecting your circuits
- Frequent nuisance trips when running multiple appliances
- Adding solar, a battery, an EV charger or extra air-conditioning
- Insurance, sale or rental compliance requiring an electrical safety check
Our Switchboard Upgrade Process
- 1. We inspect the existing switchboard, wiring and earthing and explain what we find
- 2. You receive an upfront fixed quote before any work starts
- 3. Power is safely isolated and the old board removed
- 4. A new switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches is installed to current standards
- 5. We test every circuit and walk you through the new board before we leave
Switchboard Upgrade Pricing
Every switchboard is different — number of circuits, board type and access all affect price. We quote on-site after inspection so you know the full cost before we start.
