A switchboard upgrade isn’t just about meeting electrical code — it’s about protecting your home, your family, and your peace of mind. At GQ Electrical, we deliver safe, fully compliant switchboard upgrades for homes across Brisbane.
Many older homes still rely on outdated fuse boxes and wiring that struggle to keep up with modern energy use. If you’ve recently renovated, added an air conditioner or EV charger, or noticed flickering lights or tripping circuits, it’s likely time to consider an upgrade.
Our licensed electricians are experienced, prompt, and focused on clean, reliable results. We replace old boards with modern switchboards that meet current Australian standards and support the electrical load of a modern household — including safety switches, surge protection and RCDs where required.

All upgrades include circuit breakers, RCD safety switches (to protect against electrical shock), and the option to add surge protection to safeguard sensitive electronics. We also assess your home’s power load to ensure the board can safely manage your current and future needs.
Once complete, you’ll receive a Certificate of Compliance confirming that your new switchboard meets Queensland’s electrical safety regulations and AS/NZS 3000 standards.

You get good old-fashioned service, meaning they turn up when they say they will, and phone if they happen to be running just a little late.
