We had such a great experience with South Brisbane 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!
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. South Brisbane Electrical will be my ‘go to’ business for future electrical needs.
South Brisbane 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
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.
I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find South Brisbane Electrical! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
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 South Brisbane Electrical for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
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 South Brisbane 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 South Brisbane Electrical!
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.
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
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!
South Brisbane 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.
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.
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 South Brisbane Electrical.
Fantastic experience with this team. They were so efficient and professional and the end result was perfect. Turn around time from initial enquiry to job completed was outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

Answers to Common Questions
FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades
Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in South Brisbane? Check out these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team for expert electrical guidance. We’re here to help you determine if your switchboard needs upgrading for improved safety and compliance.
Signs that your switchboard needs upgrading include ceramic fuses, a lack of safety switches (RCDs), frequent power outages, flickering lights, burning smells near the switchboard, or if you’re planning to install new high-power appliances. If your home was built before 1990 or has an older-style fuse box, it likely needs upgrading to meet current safety standards.
A standard switchboard upgrade in a Brisbane home typically takes 4-8 hours, depending on complexity. Simple replacements might be completed in half a day, while more complex upgrades involving additional circuits or three-phase power could take a full day. We aim to minimise disruption and will advise you on expected completion times before starting work.
While not automatically mandatory, switchboard upgrades become necessary when your home doesn’t meet current electrical safety standards, which change over time. Safety switches (RCDs) are now required on all circuits in new installations. Additionally, if you’re renovating, adding significant new appliances, or have received a defect notice, an upgrade may be legally required to ensure compliance.
South Brisbane Electrical services South Brisbane and all surrounding Brisbane suburbs. Our local electricians are familiar with the specific electrical requirements of both older and newer properties throughout South Brisbane, West End, and across the Brisbane area. Contact us to confirm if we cover your specific location.
During most switchboard upgrades, we need to disconnect power temporarily to work safely. However, our experienced electricians plan the work efficiently to minimise downtime. For standard upgrades, expect a power outage of approximately 3-5 hours. We’ll discuss timing with you beforehand so you can prepare, and for businesses, we can often schedule work during off-hours to reduce disruption.
