Do You Need a Switchboard Upgrade?

Many older homes in South East Queensland still rely on outdated switchboard that were never designed for today’s power hungry devices. Some of the signs that you may need a switchboard upgrade include:

  • Ceramic Fuses: These are outdated and offer no protection against electric shocks.
  • Tripping Power: Your power cuts out when you run too many appliances.
  • Flickering Lights: A sign of loose wiring or an overloaded circuit.
  • Burning Smell or Sparks: Immediate danger. Call our Emergency Electrician now.
  • No Safety Switches: You are legally required to have safety switches installed on power and lighting circuits.

The Solution: We replace old fuse boxes with a modern, tidy enclosure featuring reliable circuit breakers and life-saving safety switches.

Switchboard Repairs & Maintenance

Not every job requires a full upgrade. Sometimes, components just wear out. We provide fast, professional switchboard repair for:

  • Faulty Circuit Breakers: Replacing breakers that trip constant or won’t reset.
  • Burnt Mains Switch: If your main switch feels hot or smells like burning, it needs immediate replacement.
  • Loose Wiring: Tightening connections to prevent arcing and fire risks.
  • Asbestos Panels: Safely drilling or sealing old asbestos backing panels (common in pre-1990 homes).

If you see sparks, smoke or smell burning coming from your switchboard, do not touch it. Call our team now on 1300 054 488.

Understanding Your Switchboard Components

Here are some of the things we look at during a repair or upgrade:

  • Circuit Breaker: Protects your wiring from overload (too many appliances) and short circuits. It protects fires but does not protect humans from shock.
  • Safety Switch (RCD): Monitors the flow of electricity and cuts the power in milliseconds if it detects a leak. It saves lives. Learn more about safety switches here.
  • Mains Switch: The master switch that turns off all power to your property.
  • Surge Protector: An optional (but recommended) device that protects your expensive electronics from from voltage spikes during storms.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost varies depending on the size of your home, the condition of your mains, and whether asbestos is present. We offer upfront pricing before we start so you’re always in control.

Ceramic fuses protect the wires from melting, but they do not protect you from electrocution. They are also prone to arcing and are considered a major fire risk in modern homes.

In some cases, we can provide minor switchboard repairs. However, current electrical regulations prevent us from adding certain new circuits to an old fuse box without upgrading it to meet modern safety standards.

He was quick and efficient and explained everything every step of the way to help get my power back on. One of the BEST! tradies I've had come out by far. He's colleague Simone. W from the office was very helpful and patient with fixing up the job details and booking in works to fix my switchboard up properly. Thank you team.

We had 3 split systems installed at our place, it was a big job, but the guys knew exactly what they were doing, they were professional, talked you through the process before starting, the job was completed to a high standard with all outside cabling was covered and looking neat against the house. They cleaned up after themselves. We used Fallons 10 years ago for another job, they may be a little more expensive than other companies but they offer guarantees on all their work and have been around for a long time. They offer servicing on all their equipment and complimentary filter cleans through their membership program.
