When should you get Switchboard Upgrades Done? If the switchboard on your property is over two decades old, there is a distinct possibility that it still has the old ceramic fuses and not the current circuit breakers. Today, it’s necessary that when you add any type of electrical device to an older fuse circuit, you would have to get a new circuit breaker installed.
When you get switchboard upgrades done it’s possible to accommodate the extra power demand; alternatively, safety switches can be added to the existing switchboards. Dangerous and old switchboards will be replaced with safe and energy-efficient ones. This upgrade can be done as part of a remodelling or extension project as well. This goes a long way in reducing the risk of fire on your property.
