When your switchboard needs attention

1

You still have ceramic fuses

Fuse wire can’t protect like a modern circuit breaker. If you’re still rewiring fuses, it’s time to upgrade.

2

No safety switch on your board

In Queensland, RCDs are required on all new work. An unprotected board is a safety gap worth fixing.

3

Breakers tripping regularly

Nuisance tripping often means an overloaded circuit or a failing breaker. We’ll diagnose before we quote.

4

Adding high-draw appliances

New AC, EV charger, induction cooktop or heat pump hot water all need dedicated circuits. We size and install.

Safety and compliance work

  • Smoke alarm compliance — hardwired interconnected alarms per QLD legislation
  • Safety switch (RCD) testing — annual testing to AS/NZS 3017
  • Home electrical safety inspections — full property assessment
  • Pre-purchase electrical inspections — know what you’re buying
  • Pre-sale compliance — ensure your property meets requirements before listing
  • Rental property compliance — landlord obligations met and documented
  • Electrical fault finding — isolate and fix intermittent or ongoing faults
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on all regulated work

QLD smoke alarm legislation changed in 2022. All homes sold or leased now require interconnected photoelectric alarms on every level. We install the compliant solution and issue documentation for your records.

Why compliance matters

1

Smoke alarm legislation

Since January 2022, all Queensland homes for sale or lease must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms. Non-compliance risks your settlement.

2

RCD protection

Safety switches save lives. Annual testing catches faults before they become emergencies. We test and record the results.

3

Pre-purchase peace of mind

A $300 electrical inspection can save you from a $30,000 rewire surprise. We inspect, report and advise honestly.

4

Landlord obligations

As a Queensland landlord you have ongoing electrical obligations. We handle compliance and give you the paperwork you need.

Local enough to know
what Brisbane homes need.

Older Queenslanders with knob-and-tube, post-war homes with undersized switchboards, modern builds adding EV chargers — we’ve done the full range across the south-side and beyond.

🏠

Older Homes

Pre-1980 homes often have undersized switchboards, ceramic fuses and no safety switches. We upgrade safely without unnecessary rewiring.

EV Charging

Home EV charger installation from quote to commissioning. We size the circuit, install the charger and issue the CES.

🌞

Solar Ready

We work alongside our solar team to ensure your switchboard and circuits are ready for battery and solar upgrades.

🔥

Smoke Alarms

Queensland legislation requires interconnected photoelectric alarms since 2022. We install, replace and certify compliant systems.

Customer Reviews

What Brisbane customers
say after the job.

4.9 stars on Google. Here’s what real customers say about having our crew on site.

★★★★★

“Booked to have a new switchboard installed and they were on time, professional and explained everything clearly. The old fuse board is gone and the new one looks great. Certificate came through the same afternoon.”

David H. — Coorparoo
★★★★★

“Had CK ESA out to install downlights throughout the house and do a smoke alarm upgrade. Crew were tidy, fast and knew what they were doing. Lights look amazing and I’ve got peace of mind on the smoke alarms.”

Sarah M. — Annerley
★★★★★

“Used these guys for a full electrical fitout on our new commercial tenancy. They worked around our fit-out schedule, got the power and data in on time and the site passed inspection first go. Would use them again without hesitation.”

Jason T. — South Brisbane
★★★★★

“Had an intermittent fault that kept tripping one of my circuits. Other electricians couldn’t find it. CK ESA diagnosed it properly, found a loose connection in the wall that was arcing, and fixed it same visit. Exactly what you want from an electrician.”

Michelle K. — Camp Hill

Common Questions

What Brisbane customers
ask us most often.

Straight answers on the electrical questions we get asked every week.

Yes. In Queensland, all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor or worker. Installing, moving or replacing a power point is regulated work — doing it yourself or using an unlicensed person is illegal and voids your home insurance. We’re licenced, insured and we issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety on every regulated job.

A switchboard upgrade typically involves replacing old ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers, installing safety switches (RCDs) on all circuits, and upgrading the switchboard enclosure if required. Most residential switchboard upgrades take half a day. We disconnect power temporarily, complete the work and restore power before we leave. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued on the day.

Yes. Since January 2022, all Queensland homes being sold or leased must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms on every level, in every bedroom, and in hallways connecting bedrooms. They must be hardwired or have a 10-year non-removable battery. Battery-only alarms not meeting this standard are non-compliant. We install the correct system and provide documentation for your records or settlement.

Downlight installation costs depend on the number of lights, your ceiling type, whether new circuits are needed and the distance between the meter board and the installation area. We quote on site before we start — we don’t charge to assess and quote. As a rough guide, most homeowners in Brisbane pay between $80–$140 per downlight installed, depending on complexity. We’ll give you a firm price before any work begins.

A Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) is the legal document confirming that regulated electrical work has been inspected and complies with the Queensland Electrical Safety Act. It’s required for any work that changes or adds to your electrical installation — power points, circuits, switchboard work, new connections. Your electrical contractor is legally required to issue one. We issue a CES for all regulated work, the same day the job is complete.

Yes — we work in older homes regularly. Queensland has a lot of Queenslanders and post-war housing with older wiring systems. We assess the existing installation honestly and tell you what can be tied into safely and what needs upgrading first. We don’t pull the trigger on expensive rewires unless they’re genuinely needed — and if they are, we’ll show you exactly why.

Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed in 3–5 hours. During that time the power to your home will be off. We time it to minimise disruption and let you know what to expect before we start. Commercial switchboard upgrades vary depending on the size of the installation — we’ll scope and schedule appropriately so any downtime is planned and kept as short as possible.

Electrical Services FAQ

Common questions from Brisbane homeowners and businesses

Residential electrical work in Brisbane typically starts at $150–$250 for a standard call-out and first hour of work, then $120–$180 per hour thereafter. Fixed-price quotes are available for defined scope jobs — switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, solar connections and new circuits. CKESA always provides a written quote before starting work. After-hours emergency rates apply outside standard business hours. All pricing includes GST and the relevant compliance certificate.

Yes. Under Queensland law, all electrical work — including installing power points, changing light fittings, running new circuits, switchboard work and solar connections — must be performed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal in Queensland and can void your home insurance. CKESA holds Electrical Contractors Licence ECL 92934 issued by the Queensland Electrical Safety Office. Every completed job receives a Certificate of Test (compliance certificate) for your records.

A standard switchboard upgrade in Brisbane typically takes 4–6 hours. This includes replacing the existing switchboard with a modern safety switch (RCD) equipped board, upgrading wiring connections, labelling all circuits and testing the complete installation. Power will be off to the property for most of this time. We schedule switchboard upgrades to minimise disruption and always restore power before leaving site. A compliance certificate is issued on completion.

A safety switch (Residual Current Device or RCD) detects electrical faults and cuts power within milliseconds — fast enough to prevent electrocution. In Queensland, safety switches are required on all power circuits in residential properties. Many older Brisbane homes still have switchboards without adequate RCD protection. CKESA strongly recommends testing your existing safety switches annually (press the test button — if it doesn’t trip, call us) and upgrading older switchboards that lack proper protection.

Yes — EV charger installation is one of our growing service areas. A home EV charger (7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase) requires a dedicated circuit from your switchboard, an appropriate cable run to the garage or driveway, and the charger unit itself. Installation typically takes 2–4 hours. If your switchboard is older, we may recommend upgrading it at the same time. We can also integrate EV charging with a Sigenergy solar-battery system for optimised solar charging.

For genuine electrical emergencies — burning smell, complete power loss, sparking outlets, tripped safety switches that won’t reset — call us on (07) 3392 9067. We serve Brisbane and South-East Queensland. For after-hours emergencies, after-hours rates apply. If you smell burning or see sparking, turn off the main switch at your switchboard and call us immediately. Do not attempt to investigate electrical faults yourself.
