Older boards in Greensborough homes and shops
For landlords and investors, an outdated board is also a common item on building and pre-purchase reports. Dealing with it before it becomes a problem can make a property easier to lease or sell.
Many established Greensborough houses were built when homes had far fewer appliances. Their switchboards may have ceramic fuses, limited safety switch protection and little room to add new circuits.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. Businesses face a similar issue when new equipment, lighting or fit-outs are added to an existing board.
A modern switchboard improves protection and gives you capacity for whatever comes next – a split system, a new kitchen or more equipment.
