Switchboard upgrades in Townsville

Your switchboard feeds power to every room in the house. An up-to-date board protects the people living there, and the house itself if something goes wrong.

Signs your switchboard is due for an upgrade

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth getting the board looked at. A few of them together usually means replacing it rather than repairing it. Send us a photo and we'll tell you which.

It looks old, worn or deteriorated
It's mounted on an asbestos panel or in a timber enclosure
It still has porcelain fuses
It has fewer than two safety switches
It's full, or you've added air conditioning, solar or a pool pump

What you get with a switchboard upgrade

Licence 88209 on every quote

Check it on the Queensland register. Our electricians also hold Blue Cards.

An itemised board

The quote lists every breaker and a safety switch on every circuit. If the wiring behind the board isn't what we expected, we stop and agree any change with you first.

Ergon organised by us

We book the Ergon disconnection and reconnection, handle the paperwork and are on site when they arrive.

Room for what's coming

Planning air conditioning, solar, a pool or a spa? We size the board for it now.

Tested and covered

You get the certificate of test, and our warranty covers the labour and most products, with the term confirmed before we start.

Questions before you book

It comes down to the size of the board and the state of the wiring behind it. Send a photo of your board and you'll get a written price before any work begins.

Most homes are done in a day, with a short power outage while the board is swapped. We organise the Ergon disconnection for you.

In Queensland, existing homes need safety switches on the power point circuits when they're sold or rented, and every new switchboard needs one on every circuit. An upgrade brings all your circuits up to that standard.

Yes. Tell us what you're adding, whether it's ducted air, solar or a pool pump, and we'll size the new board to suit.
