We had such a great experience with Ripley 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!
Daniel led an excellent team to deliver an electrical upgrade to our apartment. Karl and Remy were professional, punctual and customer and outcome focused in performing works that were at times quite challenging. Ripley Electrical will be my ‘go to’ business for future electrical needs.
Ripley 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
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.
I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find Ripley Electrical! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
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 Ripley Electrical for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
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 Ripley 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 Ripley Electrical!
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.
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
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!
Ripley 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.
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.
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 Ripley Electrical.
Fantastic experience with this team. They were so efficient and professional and the end result was perfect. Turn around time from initial enquiry to job completed was outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

Answers to Your Questions
FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades
Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Ripley? Browse through these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team for expert guidance. We’re here to help you determine if your electrical system needs upgrading and how our professional services can benefit you.
A switchboard upgrade typically involves replacing outdated fuse boxes or inadequate switchboards with modern circuit breakers and safety switches. Our electricians will assess your current electrical setup, recommend appropriate improvements, and implement a solution that enhances safety, meets current Australian Standards, and accommodates your power needs. The process includes installing new circuit breakers, RCDs (safety switches), proper labelling, and ensuring correct earthing and bonding.
Several signs indicate your switchboard may need upgrading, including frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from the switchboard, ceramic fuses or a rewireable fuse box, lack of safety switches (RCDs), insufficient capacity for new appliances, or a switchboard that’s over 25 years old. If your home still has an older-style fuse box rather than circuit breakers, it’s definitely time for an upgrade to improve safety and compliance.
The duration depends on the complexity of your electrical system and the extent of the upgrade required. A standard residential switchboard upgrade typically takes between 4-8 hours. Factors that may affect the timeline include the condition of existing wiring, whether additional circuits are needed, and if any unforeseen issues arise during the installation. Our electricians work efficiently to minimise disruption to your power supply.
Yes, safety switches (RCDs) are mandatory in QLD for all new installations and when renovations are undertaken. Current regulations require RCD protection on all power circuits and lighting circuits. However, many older homes may not have adequate safety switch protection. A switchboard upgrade allows us to install compliant safety switches that protect your household from electric shock and potentially fatal accidents.
While a switchboard upgrade primarily improves safety and capacity, it can indirectly help reduce energy consumption. By installing a modern switchboard with better circuit organisation and protection, you may identify and eliminate energy wastage. Additionally, a new switchboard allows for easier integration of energy-efficient systems like solar power, battery storage, and smart home technology, which can significantly reduce your electricity bills over time.
