Switchboard upgrades

What to expect

Your switchboard is where everything in the house connects. An old or full board can limit what you can add, and it can be a safety problem in its own right.

Solar, a battery, an EV charger and air conditioning all put new demands on it. We upgrade the board so it's safe now and has room for whatever you add next.

FAQ

Straight answers

Questions we get asked about switchboard upgrades.

How do I know if I need a new switchboard?

Common signs are an old board with rewireable fuses, no spare space, circuits that trip often, or plans to add solar, a battery, a charger or air conditioning. An inspection tells us for sure.

Can you upgrade the board and install solar in one job?

Yes. Older boards often need work before solar or a battery can go on, so we quote it together and do it in one visit where we can.

Will the power be off while you work?

For part of the job, yes. We plan the work to keep it as short as we can and tell you before we start.

Who does the work?

Licensed electricians. Our Queensland contractor licence is 88879, and every job is tested before we hand it over.
