Melbourne Electrical Switchboards
Switchboard Upgrades
Your switchboard is the central hub of your home or commercial property’s wiring. It is responsible for controlling your home’s power, and plays a vital role in protecting your home and family.
If your home has an aging or outdated switchboard, it is of the utmost importance that you have it checked and if necessary, replaced.
Non-compliant switchboards can result in:
Short Circuits
As well as being a safety risk, this can lead to ‘nuisance tripping’ where the breakers regularly trip and lead to loss of power.
Insufficient Power
As technology becomes more prevalent, we have increasing power consumption needs. An outdated switchboard may be unable to keep up with multiple appliances and devices. This can result in nuisance tripping, light flickering and unusual behaviour from appliances/devices.
Property Damage, Fire and Electrocution
Modern Regulations stipulate that switchboards must have certain safety features. These safety features (Residual Current Devices, Circuit Breakers) are a no-brainer investment to protect your house and home.
What is included in my Switchboard Upgrade?
Prescribed Electrical Safety Certificate
This certificate testifies that all work is completed to current regulations and standards
New Switchboard
Modern Switchboards are significantly safer, with physical safeguards against accidental electrocution. They are also more discreet, as opposed to switchboards of the past which are often an eyesore.
RCBO protection for every circuit
An RCBO (combination residual current device (RCD) and circuit breaker) protects the wiring in your home from overheating and causing an electrical fire, while simultaneously protecting your family from electrocution.
