Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches
Switchboard upgrades and safety switches are two of the most important electrical jobs for keeping a Brisbane home safe. PEG upgrades, replaces and installs both quickly and safely. Get in touch today and we’ll have it sorted by a licensed local electrician.
Switchboard upgrades and inspections for Brisbane locals
PEG is a Brisbane-based, family-owned business providing honest, professional electrical and plumbing services. There’s no call centre and no rotating cast of subcontractors here, just a small team of trusted locals delivering expert electrical services you can depend on. Every job gets the same level of care and attention to detail, whether it’s a straightforward switchboard upgrade or a full three phase switchboard upgrade for a bigger property. Contact us today for an honest, upfront quote on your switchboard upgrade cost.
Safety switch installation and repairs
Old switchboards fitted with ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, homes without a safety switch installed at all, boards that trip constantly under normal load, and switchboards that have simply outgrown a property as more appliances get added over the years. Whatever the issue, we can carry out a switchboard upgrade, replacement or safety switch installation properly the first time. Call PEG today to get it sorted.
The PEG process
Every job starts with a quick call or message to get a picture of what’s needed, whether that’s a straightforward safety switch installation or a full switchboard replacement. We might quote a smaller job over the phone, while larger installs, like a three phase switchboard upgrade, need a proper site visit so the quote reflects exactly what’s involved. You’ll always receive a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, with no vague pricing and no surprises on the invoice. A licensed electrician then carries out the installation to Australian standards, testing and certifying the work so you know everything is safe and compliant. Get in touch today to book your job in.

FAQs about our switchboard and safety switch services
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?
Switchboard upgrade cost depends on your property size, the type of switchboard you need and whether it’s single or three phase. We’ll always give you an upfront quote before any work begins, so you know the price in advance.
Do I need a safety switch installed in my home?
Yes, you do. Queensland law requires safety switches on all homes, and we can check your switchboard and install one if it’s missing.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs include ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, circuits that trip constantly, or a board that’s simply too old for the way your home uses power today. We can inspect your switchboard and let you know honestly if an upgrade is needed.
Do you install three phase switchboards?
Yes, we do. Three phase switchboard upgrades are common for larger homes, workshops and properties running heavier equipment, and we handle the full installation.
Do you service switchboard upgrades outside Brisbane, like Ipswich?
Yes, we do. Alongside Brisbane, we provide switchboard upgrades in Ipswich and surrounding areas, including south Brisbane and the northern suburbs.
Can you relocate my switchboard to a different spot?
Yes. Switchboard relocation is sometimes needed during renovations or extensions, and we can plan and carry out the move safely and to code.
What's involved in a switchboard compliance upgrade?
A compliance upgrade brings an older switchboard up to current Australian standards, usually including safety switches, updated circuit breakers and proper labelling. We can assess your switchboard and quote the work needed.
Do you repair switchboards as well as replace them?
Yes, we do. Not every switchboard issue needs a full replacement, and we can carry out switchboard repairs where that’s the more practical option.
