About Us

Protecting Gold Coast Families With Modern Switchboards

Compliant, Safe, and Built for Modern Living

A 30 or 40 year old switchboard wasn't designed for today's electrical load. Without safety switches, a single fault can send lethal current through your body in under a second. RCDs disconnect in 30 milliseconds.

We've upgraded switchboards across every Gold Coast suburb. Southport fibro houses to Pimpama new builds. Tailored to the age, layout, and demands of your home.

Quality That Shows in Every Circuit

Tidy Wiring, Clear Labels, Lasting Results

A switchboard should be neat, clearly labelled, and easy for future electricians to work on. Our boards are wired to trade best practice with colour coded conductors, individual circuit labels, and tidy cable runs. No loose wires, no unlabelled breakers, no guesswork. The result is a board you can trust for decades.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Ceramic fuses, wooden backing, rewirable fuse wire, or no safety switches? Time for an assessment. Frequent tripping or scorch marks are also warning signs.
Are safety switches required by QLD law?
Yes on all power and lighting circuits in rentals. Strongly recommended for all homes. Mandatory on any new or altered circuits.
How long does it take?
Most standard residential upgrades: 3 to 5 hours. Three phase or complex rewiring may take a full day.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Briefly, while circuits transfer to the new board. We minimise downtime and often maintain partial power throughout.
What's included in a standard upgrade?
New enclosure, individual circuit breakers, RCDs on all circuits, clear labelling, full testing, and Certificate of Compliance.
Can you add circuits for solar or EV chargers?
Yes. We install boards with spare capacity for future additions. Solar, EV chargers, and pool equipment factored in from the start.
