Switchboard Upgrades

A Switchboard / Fuse box upgrade gives you peace of mind knowing your power supply is safe and within the current electrical regulations. Ask yourself this:

• Can I see any ceramic fuses in my meter box / switch board?
• Do I have a safety switches installed?
• Does it seem like your fuse / circuit breaker trips every time you turn on microwave or kettle?

Electrical Safety Inspections

A home electrical inspection will include a number of tests, such as outlets, switches & appliances. In doing this we will check:

• The condition of the device and the wire feeding the apparatus
• The presence of open grounds
• Correct polarity
• The integrity of the connections
• Whether it is correctly wired using appropriate wiring methods

A typical inspection will involve checking a selected number of devices. If any problems are spotted, then we investigate further to see if problems exist in other areas.

This involves:

• Inspecting the switchboard for proper earth grounding, bonding, and integrity of connections.
• Checking for the presence of a driven ground/earth rod and the integrity of the connection.
• Testing the operation of all Residual Current Devices or any other protection device.
