Post-war fuse boxes in Macleod homes
Plenty of Macleod houses still have switchboards from decades ago, sometimes with ceramic fuses and little or no safety switch protection. They were designed for a household with a fraction of today’s appliances.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. In rentals and share houses, where demand is often higher, that matters even more.
An upgrade also prepares the house for renovations, split systems and modern kitchens.
If you are renovating, replacing the board early in the project keeps everything on one plan.
