Switchboard Upgrade
Does your switchboard need an upgrade?
Here is a few things to consider:
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Older switchboards or fuse boxes don’t provide the same electrical safety protection for residents as modern systems.
INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
Advances in products, regulations, and house wiring systems mean that an outdated switchboard can be vastly different from newer versions
FIRE HAZARD
Old wiring can become loose over time causing arcing which can lead to overheating or fire.
SAFETY SWITCH
Electrical safety switches are required to be fitted to the power point circuit of homes in Victoria. These little gadgets provide advanced protection for residents by quickly cutting the electricity when a fault in the circuit is detected, potentially saving lives and preventing electrical accidents.
INCREASED ELECTRICAL DEMAND
The need for power for electrical appliances in modern homes is way above what older fuse boards are designed to handle which can result in overheating, repeated tripping of circuit breakers, and an increased fire risk.
EXPERIENCING REGULAR SHORT CIRCUITS
If the power trips out regularly this is a clear sign something is wrong with your electrical systems.
