Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers to Common Questions
How do I know if I need a switchboard upgrade?
Common signs include circuit breakers tripping repeatedly, lights flickering, old ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, buzzing sounds or burning smells, a switchboard that feels warm to touch, and appliances that cannot run without overloading a circuit. Planning to add solar panels or an EV charger is also a common trigger, since older switchboards are often not built to support them. If any of this sounds familiar, our team can assess your switchboard and let you know exactly what is needed.
Cost depends on a handful of factors. These include the size and capacity of switchboard your home needs, whether your home runs on single phase or three phase power, how much rewiring is required, how accessible your existing switchboard is, and whether solar or EV charger integration is involved. Every quote is assessed individually and provided upfront, with no hidden costs. Request a free quote, with no obligation, and we will give you an accurate price before any work begins.
Yes. Switchboard work in Queensland must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor. Sorted Electrical holds Queensland electrical contractor licence number 86636 and completes every switchboard upgrade to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, with a compliance certificate issued once the work is finished.

Your meter box houses the electricity meter and the main connection point to the grid, while your switchboard distributes that power to the individual circuits throughout your home. The two are often located near each other, and sometimes in the same enclosure, which is why they get confused. If you are wondering whether your meter box also needs attention, see our guide: Does Your Home Need a Meter Box Upgrade?

A well maintained switchboard can last several decades, but the components inside it age well before the box itself does. If your home still has ceramic fuses, was built before the 1990s, or has never had its switchboard touched, it is worth having it assessed even if nothing has gone wrong yet. Older components are more likely to fail without warning, rather than giving you a clear sign first.
We start with an assessment and a fixed, upfront quote. On the day of the upgrade, our electricians remove the old fuses or breakers, fit a new switchboard with modern circuit breakers and full safety switch coverage, and reconnect your existing wiring. Once installed, everything is safety tested, and we issue a compliance certificate confirming the work meets current standards.
Yes. As part of your upgrade, we can size and wire your new switchboard to support solar panels, a home battery, or an EV charger, so you are not paying for a second upgrade later. See the section above on switchboards for solar and EV charger integration for more detail, and get in touch if you are planning either in the near future.
A standard residential switchboard upgrade typically takes between half a day and a full day. Simple like-for-like replacements are usually quicker, while jobs needing extra rewiring, added safety switches, or solar and EV preparation take longer. Your power will be off for part of the day while your old board is disconnected and your new board is connected.
