The Fuse Keeps Blowing – Switchboard Upgrade

The ceramic fuses used in old-fashioned homes and appliances were never designed to handle the load modern appliances and homes place on them. Due to this increased demand, the circuits may blow fuses repeatedly, which is at best an annoying inconvenience.

A fuse blows when the circuit is overloaded. It cuts off the power supply to the circuit. That prevents the electrical wiring and components from overheating and causing a fire.

When your fuses blow repeatedly, this is a sign that the electrical system in your house cannot cope with the demand. And you might want to think about upgrading your switchboard. By updating your switchboard and installing modern circuit breakers, your home can safely manage a much higher level of electricity usage.

Arcing Danger – Switchboard Upgrade

Occasionally, electricity can spark or arc due to worn or loose connections within the switchboard. Creating excess heat and resulting in a fire. Your switchboard is even more at risk if attached to an old-style panel.

However, if you seek the help of a qualified electrician, he will check your home’s wiring. And when upgrading your switchboard, he will ensure that any necessary adjustments are made to maintain the safety of your entire house.
