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Many older homes in South East Queensland still rely on outdated switchboard that were never designed for today’s power hungry devices.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Ceramic Fuses: These are outdated and offer no protection against electric shocks.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

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

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.

Why do I need to replace ceramic fuses?

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.

Can you repair an old fuse box without upgrading it?

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.

  On 4/11/2026, Pomepe and apprentice Aden arrived to instal a new laundry unit which had been found faulty on an earlier free plumbing inspection.
On arrival and inspection of the Job, Pomepe explained that the job would require tile cutting as the old unit was installed as the house was being built.
He assured us that the finished job would be satisfactory.
It Is.
They went about the job quietly and quickly, and on completion removed and disposed of the old unit, fittings and packaging.
Before leaving Pomepe advised us to wait some time before using the unit to allow sealants to cure.
This service was typical of the service we have come to expect of Fallon Solutions over many years.

We would also like to commend JASMINE, the lady who showed such patience trying to educate a 90 year old how to submit this review on a mobile phone
