The Necessary Addition of RCDs

Today’s modern switchboards come with RCDs – Residual Current Devices. A Residual Current Device is an electrical safety device that turns off the electricity supply automatically if there is a fault in either your wiring or something you plug in and use. RCDs are far more sensitive than normal fuses and circuit breakers, and so provide you with much-needed extra protection against an electric shock.

Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Enhanced Safety Features

Upgrading to a modern switchboard introduces advanced safety technologies like RCDs, which quickly cut off power during faults to prevent fires and electric shocks. New boards also handle the increased loads from today’s power-hungry devices more safely.

Compliance with Current Standards

Old switchboards often don’t meet the latest safety and performance standards. Upgrading ensures compliance with current regulations, reducing risk.

Professional Installation

Our certified electricians can professionally install new switchboards, inspect circuits, make necessary repairs, and ensure everything is properly wired and functioning.

Peace of Mind

Upgrading your switchboard ensures your electrical system meets stringent safety requirements, giving you confidence and worry-free device usage with effective safeguards in place.

Fire and Shock Prevention

Modern boards with advanced safety features like RCDs, proper device capacity, and certified installation significantly reduce the risks of fire, electrocution, and shock.

Jason is a savvy and kind electrician that looked after my oven install completely. He took his time to go through the manual, set it all up including using a new cable for longevity, and was incredibly tidy, respectful, and pleasant.
