Old meter boxes and main switchboards (MSBs) are behind many of the problems we see in Brisbane buildings – nuisance tripping, no room for new meters, asbestos backing boards and panels that fail an Energex or metering inspection. We replace meter panels and main switchboards for body corporates, commercial complexes and homes, and we manage the Energex, retailer and metering paperwork so the changeover happens in one planned outage.
Planning a body corporate or multi-tenancy upgrade? We regularly install new main switchboards with bulk metering – see our Tingalpa bulk-metering case study.
Most meter box and main switchboard replacements need a supply disconnection and reconnection by Energex, plus new or relocated meters from the site’s metering provider. Lead times for these bookings drive the timeline, so we lodge them as soon as the quote is accepted and confirm the outage date and duration up front.

The meters belong to the metering provider, but the meter box or panel, main switch and wiring are the property owner’s (or body corporate’s) responsibility. If the panel is damaged, unsafe or has no room for new meters, the owner needs a licensed electrician to replace it.
A single-dwelling meter box replacement usually needs a few hours without power. Larger main switchboard changeovers are planned around the building – we confirm the outage length in the quote and can work after hours or provide temporary power.
Not always. But if meters are being added or changed, the board is being upgraded or the panel is damaged, the asbestos backing is usually replaced – we arrange safe removal as part of the job.
Yes. We design and install the new main switchboard and metering layout and coordinate the metering provider and Energex – see our Tingalpa case study.
It depends on the number of meters, whether mains need upgrading or the board relocating, and any asbestos removal. We provide a free inspection and fixed quote – see our cost guide for typical ranges.
