FUSE BOARD REPLACEMENT

Switchboards go unnoticed much of the time but they are an essential part of the home.

A switchboard is the central control of a property’s electrical system. It protects the home from electrical overloads and serves as a fault-finding device.

As an important safety feature, switchboards should never be neglected.

Moving a switchboard

If you are having renovation work completed on your home and find the switchboard is in the wrong place, contact us about moving it. Older homes were wired many decades ago when life was different. The original switchboard location might not be convenient today.

Tell us where you want it, or ask for our professional opinion. We can provide some guidance and ideas if you are not sure where to put your switchboard.
