Switchboards
We provide comprehensive electrical switchboard services, including upgrades, relocations, and new installations. The electrical switchboard is the core of your home or business’s protection system, safeguarding against potential fires and electric shocks. Ensuring your switchboard is up-to-date and fully functional is crucial for the safety of your property and loved ones. Neglecting this essential component can lead to dangerous situations, making regular inspections and timely upgrades a priority.
For those with outdated rewireable fuses, we recommend replacing them with miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and adding residual current devices (RCDs). MCBs offer the advantage of tripping in case of a fault and can be easily reset with a lever, providing more convenience and safety than traditional fuses. RCDs are crucial as they protect against severe electric shocks by cutting off power quickly (within approx. 40 milliseconds) if a person comes into contact with live parts, a feature missing in most switchboards installed before the 2000s. Updating your switchboard to include these devices significantly enhances the safety of your electrical system.
When installing new switchboards, consider incorporating additional protective measures such as mains surge protection and arc fault detection devices (AFDDs). Surge protection is vital for safeguarding your entire home against voltage spikes that can damage sensitive electronics, such as those caused by lightning strikes. AFDDs are particularly recommended for areas with a higher risk of fire, such as homes and accommodation facilities. These devices detect and mitigate arc faults, which are a common cause of electrical fires. By integrating these advanced protections, you ensure a safer and more resilient electrical system for your property.
