Looking for your next small talk conversation starter? Forget about the weather, impress all of your friends by telling them the benefits of upgrading their switchboard. Whether it’s for the ugly brown box at the front of your house you choose to ignore every time you walk past it or the giant tin box hidden in the basement of your office, let us tell you why it’s beneficial for everyone if you upgrade your switchboard!
Before we get into the fun stuff we’ve got to start with the basics:
What is a switchboard?
It’s okay we won’t judge if you don’t know what a switchboard is. A switchboard directs electricity from the main supply to where it needs to go around your office or home.
Does your switchboard look like this?
(Look away now if you’re easily offended by messy, confusing, hazardous wires)
Do you wish your switchboard would look like this?
(Wow, so sleek, so simple)
Upgrading your switchboard is so much more than just an electrical cabinet makeover.
The benefits of upgrading your switchboards include:
It protects your family and employees from electrocution: Nothing makes you a better boss or family member than making sure your employees and family don’t get electrocuted.
Protecting your property and assets from potential fire danger: Due to degrading wiring and faulty fuses, old switchboards can be a fire hazard. By replacing your old switchboard you will eliminate the risk of your switchboard starting a fire.
Reduce maintenance costs: Who doesn’t love to save money? Old equipment requires more regular repairs, which can be quite costly. Reduce these repairs by swapping out your old switchboard for a newer more modern one.
Extend the lifespan of your electrical equipment: You’re living your best electronic life in 2021 whilst your switchboard is stuck in the 1900s. Add years to the life of your electrical equipment by upgrading to a modern switchboard.
Ensure your business is compliant and providing a safe workplace: Your new board that we install will be compliant with current regulations, meaning there will be no more sleepless nights worrying that your building isn’t completely up to scratch. Our circuits will also be upgraded with RCD safety switches, which provides a safer working place.
