      We had such a great experience with New Farm 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!

      Vicki Kerr
      New Farm 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
      Claire F
      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.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find New Farm Electrical! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      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 New Farm Electrical for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      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 New Farm 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 New Farm Electrical!
      Susie Lorentz
      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.
      Alistair G
      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
      Connie Wang
      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!
      Norm Krieke
      New Farm 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.
      Rebecca
      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.
      Jessica Maher
      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 New Farm Electrical.

      Answers to Common Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in New Farm? Check out these frequently asked questions or reach out to our licenced team for expert guidance. We’re here to help you determine if your electrical system needs updating to improve safety and efficiency.

      Key indicators include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, burning smells near the switchboard, buzzing sounds, ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, lack of safety switches, or insufficient capacity for modern appliances. If your home was built before 1990 or has undergone renovations without electrical updates, it’s worth having your switchboard assessed by our New Farm electricians.

      We recommend having your switchboard inspected every 3-5 years for residential properties and annually for commercial premises. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become safety hazards or cause inconvenient power outages. Factors like property age, prior electrical work, and the addition of new appliances may necessitate more frequent checks.

      Upgrading your switchboard enhances safety with modern circuit breakers and mandatory safety switches, improves electrical system reliability, allows for additional circuits to support new appliances, reduces the risk of electrical fires, provides surge protection for valuable electronics, meets current Australian Standards, and can potentially lower insurance premiums. Many homeowners also report more stable power and fewer unexplained outages after an upgrade.

      No, switchboard upgrades must be performed by licenced electricians. In Australia, it’s illegal and extremely dangerous for unlicensed individuals to work on switchboards. Our qualified New Farm electricians ensure all work complies with Australian Standards, is properly tested, and receives necessary certifications. We handle everything from council approval documentation to energy provider notifications.

      Australian electrical regulations require switchboards to meet AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) standards, including provisions for RCD safety switches on all circuits in new installations, proper enclosure ratings, adequate access space, proper labelling, sufficient capacity for the property’s needs, and appropriate circuit protection. Our team ensures all switchboard upgrades meet these requirements while also addressing any specific local Brisbane regulations.
