Switchboard Upgrades and Repairs

Switchboard upgrades and repairs are essential to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your electrical system. Whether you're upgrading to meet modern safety standards or addressing faults in your current system, professional electricians are required for the job. Upgrades can involve adding circuit breakers, replacing outdated components, or enhancing the switchboard to handle higher electrical demand. Regular maintenance and timely repairs prevent issues and ensure your system stays compliant with safety regulations.


At DB Electrical, our team of Master Electricians specialises in switchboard upgrades and wiring for both homes and businesses. If you have an older switchboard, particularly one with rewireable fuses, your property may be at a higher risk for electrical fires and shocks. Modern switchboards, as required by Queensland law, include safety switches to protect against electrical faults. Whether you're installing new appliances or undergoing renovations, upgrading your switchboard ensures safety and prevents system overloads.


Why Do You Need an Electrical Switchboard Upgrade?


An electrical switchboard upgrade is often necessary to:


  • Meet modern safety standards
  • Prevent overloading
  • Support new appliances
  • Reduce fire and shock risks


Older switchboards, particularly those with rewireable fuses, pose a significant risk of electrical hazards, including fires and electrocution. Upgrading to a modern switchboard ensures compliance with safety regulations and incorporates essential safety features like mandatory safety switches. These switches isolate circuits during faults to protect your home or business. If you're renovating or installing new appliances, an upgrade will prevent overloads and improve overall electrical safety.


The Dangers of Older Switchboards


Older switchboards with ceramic rewireable fuses were originally designed for fewer household appliances. Today’s modern homes typically feature many more electrical devices, which can easily overload these outdated systems. This increases the risk of power outages, electrical fires, and circuit trips. Renovations or the addition of new appliances can push the limits of older switchboards, making them even more dangerous. Furthermore, many older systems lack essential safety switches, which are necessary to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

Upgrading your switchboard ensures that your system is capable of handling modern electrical demands safely and efficiently.
