How old is your home?

If it is pre-1970 then you are probably the lucky (or unlucky) owner of one of these switchboards (or fuseboards as they were referred to back in the day).

And there are a few reasons why you may want to consider replacing it with a new modern RCD protected switchboard::

Replacing fuses &/or fuse wires (when they blow) can be fiddly & you must make sure the replacement is rated correctly for that fuse. It's not uncommon for us to find a fuse with a wire which is rated incorrectly (simply because that's all that the homeowner had lying around the house at the time). This can be a serious fire risk where an overloaded circuit won't 'blow' the fuse when it should & connections can overheat & ignite.

Older switchboards could contain asbestos. These switchboards are typically black in colour & if left untouched are generally safe, however, the danger occurs when these boards require work (ie: if you are renovating your home &/or adding in new electrical circuits, etc). Opening or drilling into these boards can release asbestos dust which is a serious health hazard if inhaled.

Today's Electrical Regulations require new electrical circuits to be RCD protected. RCDs are designed to 'trip' to disconnect a circuit if there is a fault somewhere on that circuit, such as a faulty light fitting or faulty appliance. RCDs work to disconnect a circuit instantly before a fatal electrical shock can occur.

And of course, aesthetics. Let's face it, those old fuse boards are UGLY! A new modern switchboard with circuit breakers looks so much nicer AND is so much more convenient because when a circuit breaker trips, you can easily reset it with a flick of a switch!

Please contact us if you'd like some more information about this. Paul would be more than happy to discuss what options you have available, or if need be, he can pop in to take a look & give you a quote.

Save power = save money 👍

If you rinse with hot water, you are not necessarily saving on your power bill. Here is what else actually saves energy (and money).

Looks awesome!!!

It's a special thing for us to see one of Abe's final projects every time we drive past the park on South Road.

Abe worked closely with Far North District Council in creating numerous lighting solutions for the 'revitalisation' of our gorgeous little town, including these spotlights.

With Daylight Savings ending, it's the perfect time to check out the glow from these light additions in the evenings next time you go past.
