Switchboards are the heart of your home’s electrical system. When they’re outdated or overloaded, they can trip circuits, damage appliances or even pose a fire risk. At NTR Electrical, I upgrade and repair switchboards across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast, keeping properties compliant and power running smoothly.
I replace ageing fuses with modern safety switches that protect your family and your gear. Whether it’s a small upgrade or a full replacement, I’ll handle it cleanly and efficiently. Give me a call on 0497 208 333 to arrange your switchboard inspection or quote today.

Upgrades That Make Everyday Power Safer
A modern switchboard does more than just prevent flickering lights, it safeguards your entire property. I install units with RCDs and circuit breakers designed to detect faults in seconds, cutting power before damage occurs.
Each installation is personalised to your setup, future-proofed for new appliances, solar systems or air conditioners. I also provide routine maintenance and fault repairs to keep everything operating at its best. With proper protection in place, you’ll have confidence every time you flick the switch.
FAQ
What’s the difference between fuses and safety switches?
Traditional fuses protect wiring from overloads, but they don’t protect people.
Safety switches (RCDs) cut power instantly when they detect a fault that could cause electric shock. They’re now a requirement for new installations and significantly reduce the risk of fire or injury.
Most modern switchboards include several RCDs for different circuits, offering broader and faster protection than old-style fuse systems.
Can my switchboard handle a new solar system or EV charger?
Adding solar panels or an electric vehicle charger often increases power demand and can expose the limits of older switchboards.
Modern systems require compatible circuit breakers and spare capacity for extra wiring.
An electrician can check whether your existing switchboard meets electrical and safety requirements or if it needs upgrades to safely manage the new load and comply with energy regulations.
What causes a safety switch to trip frequently?
Frequent tripping usually points to an overloaded circuit, faulty wiring or a damaged appliance.
It can also happen when the switchboard’s components have worn out. While resetting breakers might seem to fix it temporarily, repeated tripping signals a deeper issue.
A professional inspection can identify which circuit or device is causing the fault and whether an upgrade or repair is needed to restore stable power.
