SWITCHBOARD UPGRADES & REPAIRS

The heart of your electrical system deserves to be in good shape.

Your switchboard controls and protects every electrical circuit in your home or business. If it's old, undersized or missing safety switches, that's not just an inconvenience – it's a genuine safety risk. Sage Energy carries out switchboard upgrades, replacements, fault-finding and new installations for both residential and commercial clients across greater Brisbane.

Not sure whether your switchboard is up to scratch? Give us a call. We'll take a look and give you a straight, honest answer.

Switchboard Upgrades

Older switchboards can struggle to support modern appliances and technology. We upgrade outdated systems to improve safety, reliability, and compliance with current Australian standards.

Safety Switch Installation

Safety switches (RCDs) provide critical protection against electric shock. We install and test safety switches to help keep your family safe and ensure your home meets current regulations.

Circuit Breaker Replacements

Faulty or aging circuit breakers can cause nuisance tripping or fail to protect your electrical system properly. We replace damaged breakers and install new circuits where required.

Fuse Box Upgrades

Still using ceramic fuses? We can replace old fuse boxes with modern switchboards featuring circuit breakers and safety switches for enhanced protection and convenience.

SAFETY SWITCHES

The most important safety device in your home - don't overlook it.

A safety switch (RCD – Residual Current Device) is designed to cut power in milliseconds if it detects a dangerous electrical fault – the kind that can cause electrocution. Under Queensland legislation, safety switches are now required on all power and lighting circuits in homes. If your switchboard doesn't have them, it needs them.

We install new safety switches on existing switchboards and test current RCDs to confirm they're working correctly. It's worth knowing that RCDs can fail silently – the test button pushing in doesn't guarantee the device is functioning. A proper test takes a few minutes and could make all the difference.
SAFETY SWITCHES

A few things worth checking.

  • You still have a ceramic fuse system or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
  • There are no safety switches on your power or lighting circuits
  • Circuits are tripping under normal everyday load
  • You're adding solar panels, an EV charger, ducted air conditioning or a major new appliance
  • You're renovating and adding new circuits, rooms or an outbuilding
  • Your board looks old, crowded or has any signs of overheating or burn marks
