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Many older homes in South East Queensland still rely on outdated switchboard that were never designed for today’s power hungry devices.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  • Ceramic Fuses: These are outdated and offer no protection against electric shocks.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

I recently had an Jarrad Pearson (Electrician) install some new power points at my place, one through splash back and one for a dishwasher - and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. Communication was quick and polite. They were punctual from start to finish, and the workmanship was neat and took care to match everything up. Everything looks clean, tidy, and exactly how I wanted it. There was a tricky part of the job going through brick that needed a bit of creativity, but they made it work and still kept the final result looking neat. Really appreciated the effort and care they put in. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done, thanks Jarrad !

Brynn, I appreciated your customer service skills, sociability and diligence which allowed you to make a sustained effort to get a full understanding of our old air-conditioning system and installation, in order for Falloon to quote for its replacement. Although Falloon missed out on the contract (because of the price) thanks to you I have no wish to move away from using Falloon for future maintenance jobs.

The service call and technician were excellent. However the quote for the proposed work was emailed to me a week after the service call. As this was a dishwasher issue we decided to purchase and install a new dishwasher as soon as possible. I was told the quote was to be in email the afternoon of the service visit.

Eoin and Matthew from Fallon serviced our moldy AC units and gave us a solar battery installation quote, respectively. Both provided excellent service. Our AC units were addressed right away by Eoin, who was very professional and took care to ensure what could have been a pretty messy job wasn't. Matthew was great and explained our solar options, the respective costs and rebates really well. He sat down with our bills and actually explained some things before designing the system. Once again, we appreciate the great service.
