Why Viewbank switchboards are due for attention
Switchboards installed in Viewbank homes decades ago were designed for far fewer appliances. Since then, many households have added split systems, pool pumps, home offices and outdoor kitchens.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. An upgrade brings protection up to date and creates room for new circuits.
If you are planning an extension or renovation, upgrading the board first can save time later.
