The switchboard is the heart of every modern electrical system. When you start experiencing issues with your switchboard, it can really put a pause on your daily activities.
40% of house fires in NSW each year stem from electrical faults and electrical appliances.
Unsafe switchboards are cause for serious concern as they pose the risk of electric shock and house fires. Older homes are at greater risk of housing non-compliant switchboards as the safety standards for switchboards have improved greatly over the years.
Protect your home and get peace of mind with our $99 Switchboard Safety Check*.Â
As part of our $99 Switchboard Safety Check, a qualified Curran electrician will:
Check that safety switches/RCDs are up to standard
Safety switches will automatically turn off your power if they detect a problem/fault in the circuit. For this reason, they are an important protection measure in your switchbox and we want to ensure they are doing their job.
Assess surge protection
While safety switches protect against leakage, only surge protection can shield your electrical system against spikes in power. Older models may be missing this feature.
Check for asbestos panels
If your switchbox was installed before 2004, there is a high chance that it contains asbestos panels. When disturbed, asbestos can become airborne and enter your lungs, causing health risks.
Evaluate condition of wiring and cables
Faulty wiring can cause havoc for your switchboard. We’ll ensure wiring has been installed properly and that you have the right size cables.
