Your Local Switchboard Upgrade Electrician on the Sunshine Coast
Have you ever considered having switchboard upgrades at your property on the Sunshine Coast? Well, look no further. We are here to offer the best quality of upgrades. Do you know that your switchboard is the ‘control panel’ of your home’s electrical wiring? In addition, a switchboard is the first port of call for power failure. So, it is important to ensure that your home’s electrical switchboard is regularly maintained and updated.
At Stirling Power Solutions, we believe that prevention is better than cure. This is certainly true when it comes to electrical problems. Having an electrician discover such issues before they can cause harm is better. Have you recently added to your home or business or installed high-energy-consuming appliances such as cooling systems? If this is your case, you may have unnecessarily exceeded your switchboard’s capacity. Our switchboard inspection involves the detection of unsafe parts. We also check the circuit breakers, earthing electrodes and main wiring.
Signs That Show You Need Switchboard Upgrades on the Sunshine Coast
Although you may not detect a problem with your switchboard, it’s always better to act before an accident occurs. Older switchboards cannot handle the power that multiple TVs, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners and computers require. So, how do you know when you need switchboard upgrades on the Sunshine Coast?
Firstly, observing how crowded the switchboard looks is very important. If there is significant crowding, and you want to add devices that require circuits, you will likely need an upgrade. If you’ve installed electrical appliances recently but haven’t upgraded your switchboard, we highly recommend doing so. Furthermore, some older houses’ switchboards have fuses instead of circuit breakers. In that case, an upgrade is necessary; otherwise, this could be an extreme safety hazard. Here are the signs to look for:
- A burning smell
- Minor shock when plugging in appliances
- Power points becoming hot and discolored
- Sparks occur when you plug in appliances
- A buzzing sound
