Fuse board replacements and safety switches.
Heidelberg’s period homes, older unit blocks and long-running shops often share one problem: a switchboard that has not kept up with demand. A switchboard upgrade in Heidelberg from Espire Electrical Solutions brings safety switch protection and capacity up to date, with an honest assessment first.
Local expertise. Quality workmanship.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. In Heidelberg, that includes period houses with old fuse boards and units whose individual boards date from when the block was built.
Shops and offices can face similar issues, especially where several tenants have added equipment over the years without upgrading the board.
Upgrading gives you modern circuit breakers, safety switches and room for new circuits for kitchens, air conditioning or business equipment.
For units, we can upgrade the board that serves your unit. Changes to common property may need body corporate involvement, and we explain this up front.
