Little Mountain is a rapidly growing family suburb. Many homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s still have electrical systems that were considered acceptable then — but fall short of today's safety standards.
Many Little Mountain homes have safety switches only on power circuits — leaving lighting circuits completely unprotected. A fault on an unprotected lighting circuit can cause electrocution with no safety switch to trip and interrupt the current. Queensland now recommends RCDs on all circuits, and requirements continue to tighten. If your switchboard only protects power points, your family is at risk.
Older switchboards were often wired with a single RCD protecting multiple circuits at once. If that one safety switch trips — whether from a genuine fault or nuisance tripping — large sections of your home lose power simultaneously. Lights, fridge, and essential appliances all go off together. Individual RCDs per circuit is the modern standard: one circuit trips, the rest keep running. We retrofit your existing switchboard or replace it entirely.

Little Mountain is a community I genuinely care about. I've been working in this suburb for years, and I understand the kinds of homes here — built in the late 1990s and 2000s, often with original switchboards that haven't been updated since.
Most families don't know their lighting circuits have no safety switch protection. That's not a criticism — it's just something that was never explained to them. My job is to explain it clearly, show you exactly what's in your switchboard, and give you options that fit your budget.
I work alone, so when you call Pip Electrics, you get Pip. No subcontractors, no surprises. I hold a current Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence and am a NECA member. Every job is done to code, every time.
Real reviews from local families who've had their switchboards upgraded and circuits protected.
"We had no idea our lighting circuits weren't protected. Pip checked our switchboard and showed us exactly what was missing. He installed individual RCDs on every circuit the same week — couldn't be happier with the peace of mind."

"Our new oven kept tripping the breaker. Pip ran a dedicated circuit just for it and sorted out the switchboard at the same time. Professional, on time, and a really fair price. Would absolutely recommend."
Mark & Julie H.
Little Mountain
"With three kids we were constantly tripping the one safety switch and losing power to half the house. Pip upgraded the whole switchboard — individual RCDs throughout. It's been faultless since. Genuinely life-changing for a young family."
Chris B.

"Pip came and inspected our switchboard after we moved in and found our lighting circuits had zero RCD protection. He explained everything clearly, no pressure at all. Had it all sorted in one visit. Great local tradie."
