Original St Helena boards and modern demands
When St Helena’s estates were built, a typical home had fewer appliances and less need for multiple protected circuits. Today the same board may be supplying split systems, induction cooktops, home offices and outdoor power.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, making them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. An upgrade brings protection and capacity up to date.
