SWITCHBOARD UPGRADES
& REPAIRS
Protecting Your Home from electrical Overloads and Faults
In many Brisbane homes, the original switchboard is still in place - often fitted with old ceramic fuses that no longer meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000). These early systems were designed for smaller electrical loads, not the demands of modern households filled with appliances, air conditioning, and technology.
Over time, ageing fuses and wiring can deteriorate, increasing the risk of faults, power outages, or even electrical fires. Upgrading to a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and RCD protection helps maintain a safer, more stable electrical system.
Area Trade Electrical carry out inspections, repairs, and replacements of outdated switchboards to ensure they’re fully compliant and capable of handling electrical requirements.
