We Repair & Upgrade Switchboards
Most people don’t think about switchboards until something goes wrong — but they’re one of the most important parts of your home’s electrical system. When they’re outdated or overloaded, they can lead to serious safety issues.
At Mozzlec Electrical & Airconditioning, we work with homeowners across Hervey Bay to repair and upgrade switchboards that aren’t keeping up. Whether you're noticing flickering lights, tripping breakers or just know your setup is due for an upgrade, we’ll take a closer look and make sure everything is working safely and efficiently. We know how to bring older homes up to standard without unnecessary disruption.

For Safety & Peace of Mind
Old switchboards might still deliver power but that doesn’t mean they’re doing it safely. Many older systems lack safety switches or aren’t built to handle the number of appliances we use today.
We upgrade switchboards to meet current electrical standards and protect your home from potential faults. From rewiring and circuit balancing to installing modern safety switches and surge protection, we’ll make sure your system is built to last. We also take the time to explain what we’re doing and why so you’re not left guessing about your own setup.
Modern switchboards make a real difference in everyday safety and efficiency. Reach out to book your upgrade and stay ahead of avoidable problems.
Signs Your Switchboard May Need Attention
Many electrical issues around the home can be traced back to the switchboard. Because it manages the flow of electricity throughout the house, problems here can affect lighting, appliances and overall electrical safety.
Common warning signs include frequently tripping circuits, buzzing sounds from the switchboard, burning smells or lights that flicker when appliances are running. Homes with older ceramic fuses may also benefit from a professional assessment, as these systems were not designed for modern electrical demand.
If any of these signs appear, it may indicate the switchboard is struggling to keep up. Addressing issues early can help prevent electrical faults and keep the home’s power system operating reliably.
What does a switchboard do in a home?
A switchboard distributes electricity from the main supply to different circuits in your home. It controls and protects wiring, appliances and outlets by using circuit breakers or fuses. A modern switchboard also includes safety switches that detect faults and prevent electric shock or fire hazards.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs you may need an upgrade include frequent tripping, flickering lights or the presence of ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers. If your home is over 20 years old or you’re adding high-demand appliances, it’s worth getting a licensed electrician to assess your switchboard for safety and capacity.
Are safety switches required on all circuits?
Yes, current Australian regulations require safety switches on all final sub-circuits in new installations or major electrical upgrades. Safety switches monitor the flow of electricity and shut off power if a fault is detected, protecting you from electric shock or fire. Older homes should be upgraded to meet these standards.
