Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a fuse box and a switchboard?
They both manage your home’s electrical circuits, but modern switchboards are safer and more advanced. Older fuse boxes use ceramic fuses that melt to cut power in the event of overload, while newer switchboards use circuit breakers and RCDs (safety switches) that trip faster and are easier to reset.
If your home still runs on an old fuse box, upgrading to a modern switchboard improves safety, allows for more circuits, and meets today’s electrical standards.
Do I need a licensed electrician for minor work like light fittings or extra power points?
Yes — under Queensland law, all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, no matter how small. That includes changing light fittings, running new power points, upgrading fans or installing appliances like ovens. Doing it yourself isn’t just risky, it’s also illegal.
A licensed electrician ensures the job meets safety regulations and doesn’t void your insurance or create hazards behind the walls.
Can I wire a caravan myself for 240V power?
You can wire basic 12V systems with care, but 240V caravan wiring must be installed and certified by a licensed electrician. It carries the same risks as residential power and needs proper circuit protection and safety switches.
If it’s not compliant, caravan parks may refuse connection, and you could face serious safety issues. Always get professional advice and certification for mains power in vans.
What’s involved in a full house rewire?
A full rewire includes replacing all old electrical wiring, outlets, switches and sometimes the switchboard, especially in homes built before the 1980s. It typically starts with a safety inspection to assess the current setup. Then, new cabling is run behind walls and ceilings, new power points and light fittings are installed, and the switchboard is updated to modern safety standards. It's often staged around other renovations to minimise disruption.
