- Electrical Safety: Outdated switchboards might lack modern safety features, such as residual current devices (RCDs) or circuit breakers, which are essential for preventing electrical shocks and fires. Upgrading the switchboard can incorporate these safety mechanisms, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Increased Electrical Load: As homes acquire more electrical appliances and devices, the demand for power also rises. An upgraded switchboard can accommodate higher electrical loads without overloading circuits, minimising the risk of tripped breakers and voltage fluctuations.
- Complying with Standards: Electrical regulations and standards evolve over time to reflect advancements in technology and safety practices. Switchboard upgrades ensure that your home conforms to the latest electrical codes, which is particularly important when selling or renovating a property.
- Modern Lifestyle Needs: Homes today rely heavily on electronic devices and technologies that were not as prevalent when older switchboards were installed. Upgrading the switchboard allows for the integration of features like Car charging ports, smart home systems, and energy monitoring capabilities just to name a few.
Our installation of a domestic switchboard upgrade, incorporating Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent Protection (RCBOs), represents a pivotal advancement in enhancing the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.
This process involves a comprehensive assessment of your existing switchboard, the strategic replacement of traditional circuit breakers with RCBOs, and the integration of cutting-edge protective technology. With the inclusion of RCBOs, your electrical system gains an extra layer of protection against electrical faults and potential shock hazards, reducing the risk of electrical fires and personal injury.
This upgrade not only elevates the overall safety of your electrical infrastructure but also provides more precise and convenient circuit control, ensuring the smooth and secure operation of your electrical circuits.
What are some signs that my Electrical Switchboard might need to be upgraded?
- Frequent Circuit Trips: If your circuit breakers are tripping frequently or your fuses are blowing frequently, it might indicate that your switchboard is struggling to handle the electrical load.
- Visible Signs of Wear: Corrosion, rust, or signs of overheating on the electrical switchboard panel are clear indications that it's time for an upgrade.
- Limited Circuit Availability: Insufficient circuit availability can lead to the use of power strips and extension cords, increasing the risk of overloading circuits. Upgrading allows for the addition of new circuits as needed.
- Absence of Safety Features: Your electrical switchboard might be of ceramic fuses, in this case it is heavily lacking correct home safety.
Electrical switchboard upgrades are a vital investment in the safety, efficiency, and functionality of your home’s electrical system. By addressing outdated components and enhancing safety measures, you can enjoy a more secure living environment while adapting to the evolving demands of modern technology.
