Is It Time To Upgrade Your Switchboard?
Switchboards control the flow of power in your home and business. Whether it’s using new kitchen appliances, hot water systems or heavy machinery, the performance of your electricity supply begins at the switchboard.
In today’s modern households and businesses, we place increasing demands on our energy supply, which can become both a safety and performance issue. Many older switchboards simply aren’t designed to manage the volume and power of new electrical equipment. This can significantly increase the risk of electrical shocks, electrical faults, and fires.
Signs You Need To Upgrade Your Electrical Switchboard
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, it may be time to upgrade your switchboard. These include:
- Appliances not getting enough power
- Fuse or circuit breaker tripping regularly
- Blown fuses
- Flickering lights
- Loose connections
- Rewired fuses
- No safety switch or residual current device (RCD)
- Presence of old ceramic fuses
Benefits of Upgrading Your Fusebox or Switchboard
Replacing older switchboards has a range of benefits including:
Meeting your homes energy requirements. New models of switchboards are better designed to manage the electrical needs of modern homes including new air conditioning, solar power systems and additional power points.
Reduce the risks of electrical fires. Loose connections and older fuse boards have a tendency to ignite electrical fires, putting your home at serious risk. New switchboards use safer materials but are also required by Australian electrical safety regulation to be sealed to prevent electrical fires spreading.
Added protection against faults. Modern switchboards contain a range of safety features including safety switches, RCDs and surge protection devices to ensure that you are not at risk of electrical shocks in case something short circuits.
