According to the Sydney electrical regulations, all switchboards are required to have safety switches installed to ensure the safeguarding of your electrical system. This is a new requirement that is being implemented in all of the modern switchboards. The safety switch is a fail-safe that will protect your home or office from damage by automatically cutting off the power supply when a potential hazard is detected. We provide switchboard upgrade services in and around Fairfield and we have serviced Western Sydney for many years. Our experience has allowed us to gain exposure in various industries and so we are well equipped to provide residential electrical services and corporate electrical services.
Why do I need a switch board upgrade?A lot of the old houses and properties still have the old switchboard-fuse system. This type of switchboard uses a fuse to manage the electrical circuit of your home or office and the main problem with this outdated system is that a fuse does not provide a sure-fire way to avoid electrical damage to your home. In the case of an electrical issue the fuse will blow but this process can be potentially damaging to your home and your electrical equipment. A switchboard upgrade will safeguard your home from potential fires and electric shock.
How do I know if I need an upgrade?If you have just moved into a new home or if you are thinking about purchasing a home in, you will need to find a professional electrician to assess your switchboard. This job is best left to us because of the potential danger it may pose to someone without experience in handling electrical equipment and electrical circuits.
