Old switchboards in Rosanna’s bungalows and interwar homes
Bungalows and interwar homes in Rosanna were built for a few lights and a handful of appliances. Many have had their switchboards modified over the years, but some still rely on ceramic fuses, old meter panels and limited safety switch protection.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. Today’s kitchens, heating, cooling and electronics place far more demand on a system than it was designed for.
Upgrading the switchboard brings protection up to date and gives you room to add circuits for renovations and new appliances.
In character homes, the board is sometimes on a front verandah or in an awkward spot. We explain the options for your home before work begins.
