Few of these this week…

High resistance on cables, wrong current limiting fuse operating for the circuit and incorrect terminations all contributing to situations that could have been worst.

Always good to have a qualified electrician check over your switchboards, especially if they have not been brought up to modern standards.

There’s a notion amongst many that switchboard upgrades are not necessary if nothing has gone wrong??

This is an example of a call out to a hazard going undetected and at risk of further damage to the property.

It was only picked up on by chance. Fuse wire still intact so no disconnection to the circuit.

“It’s not when things are going right… it’s what if things go wrong!” 🤔

Are you protected!?

After providing electrical advice and safety recommendations, the customer chose to follow up with another electrical contractor who was ‘cheaper’. Well within the customers rights, however this was the result. A visit from the fire department, a call to us after hours on a weekend to come out and rectify before restoring power.

Wall mounting new Samsung 75” TV on double brick wall. Redirecting the free to air and power up behind the TV and mounting on a slim line bracket.

Redirection of power for added convenience.

Sometimes power points arn’t in the exact position you need them.

When this occurs on walls that are brick or concrete, surface mounting in ducting is a suitable solution 👌🏻 ⚡️ 🔌

⚠️ Protective Device Damage ‼️

This Safety Switch was exposed to excessive heat / overcurrent and wasn’t isolating the circuit (tripping) as its designed to do.

A 6-12 month check over your electrical circuits and switch boards can pick up on early symptoms of age or damage.

⚠️ Electrical Cabling Damage ‼️

Close call for the NBN installer.

It’s difficult to know where every cable is but in this case a brief check under the house would have indicated that it wasn’t a good idea to drill there.

Thankfully this residence was up to date with its electrical protective devices and the risk of electrocution was significantly reduced.

Upgrading an electrical switchboard may be costly but it’s a one out insurance premium that will go a long way to protecting your life and others.
