⚡ Is Your Switchboard Still Living in the 80s?

Professional Switchboard Upgrades in Brisbane You Can Rely On

Let’s face it: your switchboard is the unsung hero of your home’s electrical system. When it’s working, you don’t think twice. But when it’s not? Hello, flickering lights, tripping breakers, and that burning smell no one wants to admit they noticed.

If your switchboard hasn’t had an upgrade in the last 10–15 years, chances are it’s not just outdated — it might be unsafe. That’s where we come in. At Hopkinson Electrical, we make switchboard upgrades in Brisbane simple, clean, and stress-free.

🔧 What is a Switchboard Upgrade?

In plain English: we replace your old, underpowered, possibly sketchy switchboard with a modern unit that protects your home, supports your tech-hungry lifestyle, and complies with current Aussie safety standards.

🚨 4 Signs You Might Need One Yesterday

1. Tripping circuit breakers for no good reason

   
   

2. Lights that flicker like a horror movie (especially when the microwave’s on)

   
   

3. No safety switches at all (or those old chunky ceramic fuses)

   
   

4. You’re planning to add an EV charger, air con, or solar

   
   

Sound familiar? Don’t stress — we’ve got you.

💡 What You’re Getting with a Hopkinson Upgrade

✅ RCBOs (a.k.a. Safety Superheroes)

RCBO = Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent Protection.

(Yeah, it’s a mouthful)

They shut off a single faulty circuit in milliseconds to:

• Prevent house fires 🔥

• Reduce shock risk ⚡

• Keep the rest of your power running smoothly 👍

  
  

Old boards cut the whole house. RCBOs? Just the one circuit. Smart.

🛠 Our Switchboard Upgrade Process

Step 1: Inspection + Assessment

We pop the cover and take a good, hard look. Undersized cabling? No safety switches? Exposed copper wiring? We’ve seen it all — and we’ll flag exactly what needs fixing.

Step 2: Custom Upgrade Plan

No cookie-cutter jobs here. We tailor the upgrade to your home’s needs — and make sure it’s fully up to code.

Step 3: Professional Install

We get in, get it done, and leave your home cleaner than we found it. No dramas. No duct tape. Just proper workmanship.

Step 4: Testing + Certification

Once it’s installed, we run all the tests and hand you a Certificate of Compliance — proof your electrical system is safe and not a TEMU special.
