Switchboards in Cairns

A Safer Board for a Safer Home

Old ceramic-fuse boards, or boards without a safety switch on every circuit, are a real hazard. At Ohm Sweet Ohm Electrical, we replace outdated boards across Cairns with modern switchboards that meet current standards and keep your family and property safe.

Cairns experiences frequent power outages and voltage fluctuations, particularly during the wet season storm months. A modern switchboard with properly functioning safety switches protects your home's appliances from power surges and sudden reconnections, reducing the risk of costly damage when the power comes back on.

A switchboard upgrade is often the smartest safety investment you can make, and it is a requirement when adding solar, a hot water system or an EV charger. If an upgrade uncovers other issues, we also handle general electrical work and fault finding and repairs.

Generator Changeover Switches

When the power goes out, a changeover switch lets you safely run a backup generator without the risk of backfeeding electricity into the grid. We install changeover switches as part of a switchboard upgrade or as a standalone addition, giving you a safe, code-compliant way to keep essential circuits running during an outage.

A changeover switch is required by law if you plan to connect a generator to your home's wiring, rather than running appliances directly off extension leads. We'll talk you through the right setup for your property and generator size.
