Limited Time FREE SURGE PROTECTOR Value $130 (while stocks last) with any switchboard replacement or switchboard upgrade. Old style fuses can be a fire waiting to happen, they take 20% longer to blow a fuse than a circuitbreaker takes to trip,& now with the combination safety switch / circuit breaker you get every light & power circuit in the house protected individually so if one area has a fault you are not taking out the entire house or numerous circuits. 

With the changing of regulations in recent years, to avoid this practice where one safety switch was fitted to the switchboard to cover all the power circuits or sometimes the entire house, now it is required no more than 3 circuits per safety switch.

We have found that even this can make it difficult for our customers to self diagnose a faulty appliance & quite often assist over the phone trying to avoid coming out for a simple fault that we have found can be avoided by installing individual safety switch / circuit breakers also known as RCBO’s. 
When you have RCBO’s fitted you can very easily identify which circuit is affected & through the process of elimination find what is causing a circuit to trip. As we have discovered through extensive experience of phone calls from customers that if they had of had RCBO’s on every circuit, a fault on one circuit wouldn’t be an emergency situation as the whole house isn’t affected & they could most likely find the fault themselves which will save them having to call an electrician. When you have the old style porcelain fused switchboard you & your family are not safe as the switchboard will not cut off in the event of an unsafe appliance, or an overloaded circuit until it is too late.
The easiest way to explain what a safety switch is versus a circuit breaker which is often confused & customers have believed that they already had safety switches fitted.

Safety Switch or RCD ( Residual Current Device )

They can also indicate an appliance is getting tired if you have a reoccurring nuisance trip, or water has got into an outside light fitting.

Our Switchboard Upgrades include installing a safety switch so that your home and family are protected.

Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker in the switchboard is there to protect the cable by thermally limiting the current passing through the device & will trip if it is being overloaded which in turns prevents the cable from getting hot which on fuses can take 20% longer to trip which can be a disaster leading to fire.  

RCBO

This combination of the safety switch & circuit breaker has meant in the last few years that the
size of a switchboard is reduced & due the increasing supply & demand the cost has come down making this the best choice & the only way to go.

Surge Protector

The surge protector is an over voltage device which can be installed quite easily at the time of a switchboard upgrade. We have seen these protect customers from power lines falling in the street & surging through switchboards & appliances, lightning strikes. The surge protector will divert any over voltage down to earth, instead of taking the path through your computers or other electronics which are extremely sensitive & will often indicate a surge has occurred. The ones we used have a cartridge which is easily replaceable by the customer.
