Switchboard Upgrades
Gold Coast
Every household and business can gain a lot from a switchboard upgrade carried out by Butler Electrical because we aim to safeguard the main aims of a switchboard upgrade. The point is to professionally install an electrical unit that meets newly required safety switch requirements which are also known as the residual current device (RCD). This switch is there to protect you against any harm or property damage by detecting earth leakage, which is a potentially dangerous situation where exposed metal equipment becomes life, or your system suffers a short circuit. The safety switch will cut the power in a matter of milliseconds and minimises the risk of a fatal electric shock. These are recent changes stipulated in the Australian standards AS/NZS 3000:2018. It mandates that all final sub-electrical circuits in residential properties or renovation works must be protected by the RCD, which now includes the monitoring of added devices such as lighting, hot water systems, and electric vehicle chargers.
Depending on the age of the switchboard of your property and your specific budget, the process of upgrading your unit will vary. In an ideal situation where everything aligns, one of our licensed electricians will work at upgrading the old toxic components with safer replacements. After completion of the job, the electrician will work with you to test the entire installation and the electrical system function on your property. This is one of many of our quality guarantee steps that you can enjoy with Butler Electrical. A switchboard upgrade is only one of many safety procedures we can apply for your unique household installation. You should also want to invest in a licensed electrician in the Gold Coast because they are best positioned to ensure that you are up to date with the local code requirements for a smoke alarm system. You may think it is easier to purchase one of the many products available on the market as you are reading this, but we want to emphasise that it is the installation process that plays a big role in the effectiveness of the entire system.
