Old fuses out, safety switches in. Licensed electricians upgrading Brisbane switchboards for modern loads, with clear fixed quotes before any work starts.
The switchboard is the heart of your home's electrical system, and most Brisbane boards were installed decades before air conditioning in every room, induction cooktops, pool pumps, solar and EV chargers. If yours still runs ceramic fuses, or trips whenever the household gets busy, it is telling you something.
We upgrade switchboards across Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan every week: modern boards with safety switches on every circuit, surge protection, and the capacity for whatever you add next. Every job is quoted up front, completed by licensed electricians, and certified on completion.
From single-circuit fixes to full board replacements, all completed by licensed electricians and backed by our Gold Master Electrician accreditation.
Ceramic fuses and old breakers replaced with a modern board: safety switches on every circuit, surge protection, clear labelling and certification.
Get a quote →Queensland requires safety switches, and older boards rarely protect every circuit. We bring the whole board up to standard and test everything before we leave.
Get a quote →Upgrading to three-phase, adding an EV charger, or installing solar and a battery all start at the board. We build in the capacity before you buy the gear.
Electrical upgrades →Dead board, burning smell, or power that will not stay on? Our 24/7 emergency team makes it safe first and quotes the fix before any work starts.
Emergency electrician →Tell us what your board is doing, or send a photo, and we will give you a clear fixed quote up front. Most Brisbane switchboard upgrades are finished in a single visit.
Some switchboards fail loudly, most just show their age: fuses that blow when the kettle and the air con run together, safety switches that trip in storms, a board that is warm to touch, flickering lights, or simply a panel of ceramic fuses that has not been opened since the Moon landing.
Any of those signs deserves an inspection. We check the board, the mains and the earthing, explain what is fine and what is not, and give you a fixed quote to bring it up to standard, including compliance certification and clear labelling so the next electrician thanks us.
A switchboard upgrade from KTM is the whole job, not just a new box on the wall.
It is the first question everyone asks, and the honest answer is that it depends on what we find: the size of the board, the state of the mains and earthing, whether asbestos-era panels are involved, and how many circuits need protecting. Rather than quote a teaser price that grows on the day, we quote the real number up front:
Upgrading is also the moment to plan ahead: adding capacity for solar and batteries, an EV charger, or three-phase power costs far less during a board upgrade than as a separate job later.
We upgrade and replace switchboards for offices, shops, warehouses, body corporates and industrial sites across Brisbane, not just homes. Commercial boards often need extra capacity for air conditioning, machinery or EV charging, three-phase distribution, and metering that keeps tenancies separate. We can work after hours to avoid disrupting trade and stage the changeover so your critical circuits stay live.
A switchboard upgrade is also when tired ceramic fuses and worn circuit breakers get swapped for modern circuit breakers and RCBOs that trip fast on a fault and reset in seconds. If one circuit keeps tripping we can replace or add a circuit breaker without redoing the whole panel; if the board itself is unsafe we quote a full electrical panel replacement. Either way you finish with a clearly labelled, certified board.
Three steps from tired old fuses to a certified modern board, usually within a single day.
We inspect the board, mains and earthing, then give you a fixed quote up front. Send a photo of your board for an even faster ballpark.
Most residential upgrades are completed in a single visit, with power off only as long as the changeover needs.
Every circuit is tested and labelled, safety switches are verified, and you receive compliance certification for your records.
