Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

If you are experiencing any sort of ‘issue’ with your lighting (flickering), or have trouble using more than one electrical appliance at a time (does the power go off, if you turn on the kettle at the same time as the toaster?), then the chances are you need an electrical upgrade, or at the very least, a professional assessment of your circumstances and problems.

Many houses and commercial properties still have old style fuse boxes or outdated switchboards. This old technology can cause serious electrical problems, which if left untreated, could result in personal and/or property damage.

Fuse Box vs Switchboard

Old fuse boxes are easily identified, thanks to their use of porcelain or ceramic fuses. These can be highly dangerous and should be removed and replaced by a professional. Did you know that if an old style porcelain fuse is removed and not replaced, then live terminals are exposed which could lead to electrocution?

Additionally, old style fuse boxes and switchboards do not have safety switches. Safety switches became mandatory in new homes in Australia 1990. They provide the best protection against electrocution. When it comes to personal protection, they are far superior to circuit breakers.
