Switchboard Nightmare

Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right. But who do you call to make it right?

Sharpe Services recently got a callout to a household that requested an electrical switchboard safety service after wondering if theirs was up to standard.

Just as well they did because several issues were discovered that compromised safety.

Inside the switchboard cabinet were exposed and live parts waiting to electrocute anyone who touched them. As well, the switchboard didn’t have RCD protection.

An RCD, or residual current device, is a life-saver that prevents you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as the bare wire and components exposed in this switchboard.

It cuts power almost instantly, protecting a household from a faulty appliance or overloading of a circuit.

If you have any suspicions about the standard of your switchboard, call Sharpe Services today for an affordable but comprehensive electrical safety inspection for $165.

Confident your switchboard is up to standard? Consider getting your household electrics checked for winter safety for peace of mind.
