Switchboard Solutions upgrades, replaces and installs electrical switchboards for body corporates, commercial buildings, industrial sites and homes across the Gold Coast – from Coomera and Helensvale down to Burleigh Heads, Elanora and Coolangatta. Our licensed switchboard electricians manage the whole job: inspection, design, approvals, shutdown planning, installation and certification.
Many Gold Coast apartment towers, shopping centres and older homes still run on switchboards that were never designed for today’s loads. Air conditioning, EV chargers, pool equipment and commercial kitchens all add demand, and coastal air speeds up corrosion inside older boards. The result is nuisance tripping, overheating and, eventually, failures that leave residents or tenants without power.
We specialise in switchboards – it’s all we do. That means we can tell you quickly whether your board needs a minor fix, a sub-board, or a full switchboard upgrade or replacement, and we’ll plan the work around your building.

Yes. Our licensed switchboard electricians regularly travel from our base in Darra to the Gold Coast for switchboard upgrades, replacements, inspections and power capacity upgrades. Call 1300 788 455 or request a quote and we will book a free on-site inspection.
Common signs include ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, no safety switches (RCDs), breakers that trip often, scorch marks or a burning smell, flickering lights, or a board that has run out of space for new circuits. Adding EV chargers, solar, air conditioning or new machinery is also a common trigger. Read more about switchboard upgrades.
It depends on the size and complexity of the switchboard. We confirm the expected outage at the quoting stage and plan the shutdown with you, including after-hours or weekend work where needed, so tenants, residents and operations are disrupted as little as possible.
Costs vary with the size of the board, the number of circuits, whether the mains or metering need to change, and access. A simple residential board costs far less than a commercial main switchboard. After a free on-site inspection we provide a fixed, itemised quote with no surprises.
