Safety Starts at the Switchboard
Gold City Solar & Electrical upgrades and maintains switchboards in Gympie so your wiring stays safe, organised and ready for modern loads. Old fuses, warm breakers or tangled neutrals make faults harder to spot and protection less reliable. We replace outdated gear, add RCD and surge protection, then label and balance circuits so the whole system is easier to live with and simpler to service.
Here’s what you can count on:
- Modern protection that trips fast & safely
- Clear labelling, neat wiring & tidy finishes
You’ll know what each circuit does, why protection was chosen and how to reset it correctly. We assess spare capacity for new appliances, set earthing to spec and verify test results at handover.
The aim is a safer home with fewer nuisance trips and room to grow. Are you ready to plan an upgrade or fix an issue in Gympie? Call 07 5483 2223.
Rational, Compliant Switchboards
Every board starts with a condition check – enclosure, busbar, main switch, MEN link and cable entries. We rationalise neutrals and earths, remove mixed protections, then install compliant main isolation, RCBOs or RCDs with breakers to suit load types.
Surge devices protect sensitive gear, arc-fault and fire considerations are covered, and ventilation or enclosure changes are made where heat is a risk. Final testing includes polarity, insulation resistance, RCD trip times and a clean, easy-to-read circuit schedule.
Tell us what’s tripping or what you plan to add. We’ll map a straightforward path to a safer, simpler switchboard and book a time that suits.

FAQ's
What does a home switchboard do and why is it important?
A switchboard distributes electricity to circuits and provides protection with main isolation, circuit breakers and safety switches. It keeps faults localised, reduces fire and shock risk, and makes maintenance easier. Clear labelling, correct earthing and suitable protection devices are essential for safe operation and future additions.
What is the difference between a circuit breaker, a safety switch and an RCBO?
A circuit breaker protects cables from overloads and short circuits. A safety switch – also called an RCD – detects leakage to earth and trips to prevent electric shock. An RCBO combines both functions for a single circuit, improving protection and reducing nuisance trips across the rest of the board.
Why does my switchboard keep tripping?
Repeated trips can come from overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, damaged cables, moisture in outdoor fittings or cumulative earth leakage across many devices. Start by unplugging appliances and resetting. If the problem persists, insulation resistance and fault-loop testing can identify wiring issues, failing devices or misconfigured protection that need correction.
