Switchboard

A modern switchboard is essential for protecting your property from electrical overloads and ensuring each circuit is safely managed. We provide:

  • Switchboard upgrades
  • Switchboard replacements
  • Repairs & fault diagnostics
  • Circuit breaker upgrades
  • Safety switch (RCD/RCBO) installation
  • New switchboard installations for renovations & new builds

Whether you’re experiencing frequent tripping, flickering lights, or simply want to bring an older home up to Australian Standards, our team can help.

Local qualified technicians

At NB Trades & Services, local knowledge matters. Our qualified technicians live and work across Toowoomba and the surrounding regions, so we understand the unique challenges of local homes, farms, and businesses — from seasonal temperature extremes to rural power systems.

Whether you need a new air conditioner, commercial refrigeration maintenance, or electrical repairs, you’ll always deal with experienced, fully licensed professionals who prioritise safety, quality, and fast turnaround times.

Our promise: Fast response, clear communication, and quality workmanship on every job.

When should you upgrade your switchboard?

Many Toowoomba homes built before the 1990s are fitted with ceramic fuses, asbestos backing panels, or wiring that no longer meets current safety requirements. These systems were never designed for modern appliances, air conditioners, and household energy loads.

You may need a switchboard upgrade if:

  • Your home still has ceramic fuses
  • Your switchboard contains asbestos
  • Power trips when multiple appliances are used
  • Lights flicker or circuits overload
  • You’re installing an air conditioner, solar system or new electrical circuits
  • You want to increase electrical safety for your family

Upgrading to modern RCBO protection (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection) significantly reduces fire risk and provides rapid response in unsafe conditions. This is now the recommended industry standard for all homes and businesses. 

Safe, compliant switchboard upgrades

Our fully licensed electricians supply and install:

  • RCBO safety devices
  • Updated cabling and circuit protection
  • Modern switchboard enclosures
  • Clear labelling and circuit organisation
  • Surge protection (optional)
  • Switchboard upgrades for commercial & industrial sites

Every upgrade is completed to Australian Standards and includes full testing before sign-off. You’ll receive a safer, more reliable electrical system that can handle today’s energy demands.

Great service and friendly staff.
Very impressed with the care and consideration of the installers, they are very careful with your property.

Excellent job, will definitely be recommending!

Hayden McNaughton

Thank you so much to Todd, (and Vee for presumably organising it) who came and fixed my leaking aircon within 2 minutes of my call! My aircon decided to flood my living room on the 39 degree today, and despite been booked out for 2 weeks they went the extra mile and fixed it within the hour. I am so very appreciative. I will not hesitate to recommend their prompt and professional service to anyone. Cheers!

Good communication from the staff. Quote was organised quickly and fairly. Once we decided what we wanted the quote was honoured despite us taking our time in deciding. Tech's that arrived to install the unit were on time, efficient and happy to answer questions. Electricians arrived immediately after install to hook up power. Overall, very happy with the service and would recommend to anyone.
