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
      The Gap 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 The Gap 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 The Gap 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 The Gap 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 The Gap 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
      The Gap 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 The Gap Electrical.

      Common Switchboard Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about switchboard upgrades in The Gap? Check out these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team of qualified electricians for expert guidance. We’re here to help you determine if your switchboard needs attention and what options will best suit your electrical needs.

      A switchboard upgrade involves replacing your outdated electrical panel with a modern system that includes circuit breakers and safety switches. You might need one if you have an old ceramic fuse box, experience frequent tripping, have flickering lights, or plan to install new appliances that your current system can’t support. Homes in The Gap built before the 1990s are particularly likely to benefit from a switchboard upgrade to meet current safety standards.

      Warning signs include ceramic fuses, rewirable fuse boxes, frequent power outages, burning smells from the switchboard, visible damage, buzzing sounds, or a lack of safety switches. Other indicators include insufficient capacity for modern appliances, warm switchboard surfaces, or electrical issues throughout your home. Our electricians can conduct a thorough assessment to determine if your switchboard requires an upgrade.

      Upgrading your switchboard significantly improves electrical safety by incorporating modern circuit breakers and mandatory safety switches. It also increases capacity for modern appliances, enables easier fault finding, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and generally improves the reliability of your electrical system. Many insurance companies also look favourably on homes with updated electrical systems.

      Most residential switchboard upgrades in The Gap can be completed within a day, though more complex installations for larger properties or commercial premises may take longer. We aim to minimise disruption to your power supply, often completing the work with only brief planned outages. Our electricians work efficiently to restore your electrical service as quickly as possible.

      Yes, current electrical safety regulations require safety switches (RCDs) on all power and lighting circuits when upgrading a switchboard. These devices provide critical protection against electric shock by detecting leakage current and disconnecting power almost instantly when a fault is detected. Our upgrades always include properly rated safety switches to ensure compliance with Australian Standards and optimal protection for your household.
