Frequently Asked Questions
Why are modern switchboards safer than older ones?
Modern switchboards are equipped with RCDs and circuit breakers that cut power instantly if a fault or leakage is detected. This helps protect people from electric shock and prevents electrical fires caused by overloaded circuits. Older systems often lack these features, relying on fuses that don’t provide the same level of protection. Upgrading improves safety, compliance with regulations, and the ability to manage higher energy demands.
How does a switchboard upgrade improve capacity?
A new switchboard can be designed to handle increased electrical loads from modern appliances and technology. This means you can run multiple high-energy devices without overloading circuits or causing power outages. It also allows for future expansions, such as adding a pool pump, solar system, or EV charger. By distributing power more efficiently, upgraded boards improve both performance and safety.
Is a switchboard upgrade necessary when renovating?
Many renovations increase the electrical demand of a property, whether through additional lighting, power points, or appliances. An older or undersized switchboard may struggle to handle the new load, creating a safety risk and potential compliance issues. Upgrading during renovations ensures your electrical system can support the changes without compromising safety. It’s also easier and more cost-effective to upgrade while other electrical work is underway.
