Switchboard Upgrades For Older Homes
Older homes are usually equipped with older switchboards with outdated ceramic fuses, and these lack the important safety features that come with more modern options.
Newer switchboards have safety switches that turn off the supply in the event of a problem like a leak or exposed wiring, and circuit breakers designed to reduce the risk of fire. Not having these features in place puts you and your home at risk.
There’s no question that modern switchboards are significantly safer than older models. Additionally, older switchboards may struggle to cope with your home’s demands for power.
An upgrade can resolve this problem by increasing the capacity of your supply. If you have an older switchboard, an upgrade is a smart choice for making your electrics safer. We can upgrade older switchboards to reliable new models that give you real peace of mind.
Upgrading to a modern switchboard can help protect your home from fire and add additional safety protection not present on older panels. An upgraded mains and switchboard panel can also increase the capacity of your home’s electrical supply.
Signs You Need An Upgrade
It’s important to always be vigilant when it comes to electrical safety, and there are a few signs to keep a lookout for that indicate you need to have your switchboard upgraded.
Mild electrical shocks and frequent sparking are clear signs that you need an upgrade – signs like this present a real danger and shouldn’t be ignored.
If your circuit breakers trip on a regular basis, or if your lights dim when you switch on other appliances, this indicates that your electrical system is overloaded. Upgrading the switchboard will resolve these issues.
It’s important not to delay when your switchboard needs to be upgraded – ignoring the signs could pose a serious risk to you and your family. As well as the risk of electrical shocks caused by problems with the wiring, an older or defective switchboard carries the risk of wiring that will catch fire.
This could lead to devastating consequences. The team at O’Brien Electrical Thomastown are committed to customer safety. When we upgrade your switchboard, we work to give you the highest standards of electrical safety.
