Why older Montmorency switchboards struggle
Plenty of established Montmorency homes still run on boards installed when the house was built. Since then, households have added heating and cooling, home offices, pool or garden equipment and workshops under the house.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, making them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. Upgrading is often the single most important electrical improvement for an established home.
