Switchboard Upgrades — Safety, Compliance & Future-Proofing
An outdated switchboard is one of the most common electrical hazards in Australian homes. Old ceramic fuse boards lack modern safety switches (RCDs), leaving your household unprotected against electric shock and fire. Queensland regulations require compliant safety switches on all new switchboard installations — and upgrading your existing board is the most important electrical safety investment you can make.
Signs Your Switchboard Needs Upgrading
• Fuses blow frequently or circuit breakers trip without obvious cause
• Your board still uses ceramic fuses or rewireable fuse wire
• No safety switches (RCDs) are installed on power and lighting circuits
• You are adding high-draw appliances (EV charger, solar, ducted air conditioning)
• The board looks or smells burnt, or shows signs of corrosion
Our Switchboard Upgrade Process
1. Free site assessment and compliance check
2. Written quote with no hidden costs
3. Full switchboard removal and professional installation to Australian standards
4. Safety switch (RCD) installation on all required circuits
5. Test, certify, and issue compliance certificate
All switchboard work is completed by a licensed Queensland electrician and certified to AS/NZS 3000.

Electrical Services — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions Gold Coast homeowners and business owners ask before booking an electrician. Can't find what you need? Call or message us — we're happy to help.
Are GED Electrical & Air electricians licensed in Queensland?
Yes. All our electricians hold a current Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence and individual Electrical Worker Licences, as required by the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (Qld). You can request licence numbers before any work begins — we're happy to provide them.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
For after-hours emergencies across Gold Coast metro areas, we aim to dispatch within 60–90 minutes. Response times can vary based on location and current demand — call us directly on the number above for the fastest response and an accurate ETA.
Do you provide written quotes before starting work?
Yes, always. We provide a written quote before commencing any work. For straightforward jobs like power point installation or ceiling fan fitting, we can often quote on-site at the assessment visit. There are no hidden call-out fees added after the fact.
Is a switchboard upgrade mandatory in Queensland?
A full upgrade is not always mandatory unless you are undertaking specific renovation work or adding new circuits. However, Queensland regulations require safety switches (RCDs) on all power and lighting circuits in new installations. If your existing board lacks them, we strongly recommend an upgrade — both for compliance and personal safety.
Can you install smoke alarms to Queensland's new requirements?
Yes. Queensland has staged deadlines for interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all dwellings. From 1 January 2022, all properties being sold, leased, or substantially renovated must comply. We install compliant smoke alarms and provide documentation confirming compliance for your records or settlement requirements.
What electrical services do you provide for commercial properties?
We service commercial premises across the Gold Coast including offices, retail tenancies, warehouses, and body corporate common areas. Services include switchboard upgrades, LED lighting retrofits, power circuit additions, emergency lighting, and exit sign maintenance. Contact us to discuss your specific commercial requirements.
