What does my fuseboard actually do?

The fuseboard plays an important role in safely distributing electricity throughout your home. If you think about all the circuits at your property, that's a lot of electricity which needs to be safely transported from the national grid to the kitchen, bedrooms and to supply a home EV charger in your garage. It’s vital that the unit meets industry standards, is safe and runs efficiently.

Signs you need a new fuseboard

If you are suspicious about the fuseboard at your home in Hopwood, look out for signs such as flickering lights, burning acid like smell or an electrical humming sound.

More obvious signs might be actual damage to the fuse board itself such as cracks or loose connections. Other signs you need a new fuse board may include sparking from outlets or switches being hot to the touch.

If in doubt, give us a call as it's always better to have the fuse board checked by a professional.

Could my outdated fuseboard be a problem?

An old unit could definitely be a problem, increasing safety risks at your property. If the existing unit is 20 years or older, it most likely will fail to meet industry safety standards.

Older units aren’t really designed to manage the electrical load of modern homes. Another sign you need a new fuse board is frequently tripping circuits. If your home is anything like mine with appliances and electrical gadgets everywhere, you might be experiencing power lost quite often. For improved safety, my recommendation would be to consider a fuseboard upgrade.
