Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches in Moreton Bay

How a safety switch protects your family

A safety switch, or RCD, detects a fault and cuts the power in as little as 30 milliseconds, far faster than a fuse, dramatically reducing the risk of serious electric shock.

In Queensland, safety switches are required on power and lighting circuits, and most insurers now expect a modern, RCD-protected board.

Signs your switchboard needs an upgrade

  • Ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers

  • No safety switches (RCDs) on your circuits

  • The board trips frequently

  • Flickering or dimming lights

  • A buzzing sound or burning smell near the board

  • You are adding a big load like solar, an EV charger or air conditioning

What's included

  • Full inspection of your existing switchboard

  • Upgrade to a modern, compliant board sized for your home

  • Installation of safety switches (RCDs) across your circuits

  • Surge protection options to guard your appliances

  • Compliance certification on completion

What a switchboard upgrade costs

Most Moreton Bay switchboard upgrades fall between roughly $800 and $2,500, depending on the size of the board, how many circuits and safety switches are needed, and whether the meter or board needs relocating.

Adding safety switches on their own is typically $180 to $300 each. We quote fixed-price after an inspection.
