      We had such a great experience with Ipswich Electrical. Our quote was super reasonable and Karl’s work installing our down lights and fans was awesome and had a great final result. Everyone we worked with was really friendly and it really felt like an honest and fair company. Karl was also super lovely with our toddler and dog too! Thanks again!
      Peter M
      Daniel led an excellent team to deliver an electrical upgrade to our apartment. Karl and Remy were professional, punctual and customer and outcome focused in performing works that were at times quite challenging. Ipswich Electrical will be my ‘go to’ business for future electrical needs.
      Vicki Kerr
      Ipswich Electrical service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find Ipswich Electrical! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend Ipswich Electrical for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang Ipswich Electrical 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend Ipswich Electrical!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      Ipswich Electrical were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher
      Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail. He also explained the issue to me at every point and made sure I understood what was needed and how to address any issues in future. I'm grateful he came to help us today and truly impressed with his workmanship and attitude. Cheers Braeden and the team at Ipswich Electrical.

      Common Questions About Switchboards

      Switchboard Upgrade FAQs

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Ipswich? Review these frequently asked questions or contact our friendly team for expert advice. We’re here to help you understand if your electrical system needs an upgrade and how our services can benefit your home or business.

      Warning signs include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, burning smells near the switchboard, buzzing sounds, or having an old ceramic fuse box. If your home was built before 1990 or you’re adding major appliances like air conditioning or an electric vehicle charger, a switchboard upgrade is likely necessary. Our licenced electricians can assess your current setup and provide expert recommendations.

      A typical switchboard upgrade involves replacing outdated components with modern circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs). We’ll assess your current and future electrical needs, remove the old switchboard, install the new one with appropriate circuit protection, test everything thoroughly, and provide certification upon completion. The process usually takes one day for standard residential switchboards, with minimal disruption to your power supply.

      Yes, Queensland electrical safety regulations require safety switches (RCDs) on power circuits in all homes being sold or rented. For existing homes, we strongly recommend having RCDs installed on all circuits, not just power points. This provides comprehensive protection against electric shock and is considered best practice for electrical safety.

      The cost varies depending on your specific requirements, the size of your property, and the complexity of the installation. Factors affecting price include whether you need single-phase or three-phase power, the number of circuits required, and if any additional electrical work is needed. We provide detailed, obligation-free quotes after assessing your current electrical setup and discussing your needs.

      Yes, we typically need to disconnect power while replacing a switchboard. However, our experienced electricians work efficiently to minimise downtime. For most residential switchboard upgrades, the power outage lasts about 4-6 hours. We’ll provide advance notice so you can plan accordingly, and for businesses, we can often schedule work during off-hours to minimise disruption.
