Switchboards are the most important electrical component in your property. They are the central nervous system of your property’s power supply and like anything else, they can become overloaded and require some maintenance. How do you know when you need a Cairns switchboard upgrade? There will be some telltale signs, most notably flickering lights, short circuits and safety switch tripping. When this happens, it usually means you need a Cairns switchboard upgrade, and you need to call Huzgroup Electrical.

Cairns switchboard upgrades are an investment in the safety of your people and property, as overloaded and unmaintained switchboards can cause fires, property damage and electric shocks. All of which can be avoided, with timely maintenance and service.
If you are experiencing flickering lights, tripping circuits or safety switches and/or your current switchboard is making strange noises, then you probably need a Cairns switchboard upgrade. Age is another factor, with older switchboards struggling to meet the demands of modern appliances.
In Queensland safety switches have been compulsory on all power point circuits since 1992. In 2000 this requirement expanded to include lighting circuits. This is a legal obligation. If you are unsure as to your compliance, contact Huzgroup Electrical to arrange an inspection.

How do I know if I need a Cairns switchboard upgrade? Other than the presenting factors mentioned above – flickering lights and tripping circuits and switches – age is a factor, as is renovations. Generally speaking if your switchboard is more than 25 years old, you should consider an upgrade. Why? The requirements and volume of modern appliances often exceed the capacity of older switchboards, which can lead to electrical overloading, power surges, injury to people and/or property damage. How do you know if you have an old switchboard? The appearance will usually give it away. Older switchboards don’t have the modern componentry and some still have ceramic fuses. Similarly, if you are conducting any major renovations at your property, such as the addition of a pool, new lighting system and/or appliances, you may also need a Cairns switchboard upgrade to ensure safety and efficient power distribution performance. If you are concerned about your switchboard and its performance, contact Huzgroup Electrical to arrange an inspection on (07) 4243 3503.
