Energising the Old
Older buildings often ooze charm and a timeless character, but they may also harbor outdated electrical systems that can pose serious risks. A modern switchboard is the heart of your building’s electrical system, and upgrading it is vital for ensuring safety and functionality. Here’s why making the switch to a modern switchboard is a smart move.
1. Enhanced Safety: Old switchboards may not have the necessary safety features to protect against electrical fires and electrocutions. Upgrading to a modern switchboard with safety switches is a critical step in safeguarding your property and its occupants.
2. Meeting Modern Electrical Demands: Today’s households and businesses rely heavily on a multitude of electrical devices. Upgrading the switchboard ensures your electrical system can meet these increased demands without tripping or overloading.
3. Compliance with Electrical Codes: Modern electrical codes require specific safety features that old switchboards often lack. Upgrading helps ensure your property is compliant with current standards.

6. Cost Savings: Avoid costly emergency electrical repairs and reduce energy bills over time with a modern, efficiently functioning switchboard.
