Do you suffer from a plague of powerboards?

The growth in the number of portable and conventional devices means that we frequently have too many adapters and too few powerpoints.

This puts significant strain is put on your home’s electrics. It’s common to “piggyback” (connecting one to another) powerboards in order to use more appliances, but this also creates a substantial safety and fire threat.

Fire Authorities urge all homeowners to always connect heavy-use appliances and devices (TVs, fridges, AC units) through a power outlet rather than a powerboard.

Powerboard Culprit in Fire that Ravages Adelaide Home

A property in the Northern Suburbs was inflicted with $30,000 of damage by a fire originating from a powerboard.

The smell of smoke alerted the homeowners, but the flames quickly engulfed the room, causing extensive damage.

Remember that overloaded powerpoints are responsible for around 15% of all house fires.

Q: Why do my electrics trip when I turn on a powerpoint & does this mean they are unsafe?

A: This may simply be the result of your circuits being unable to cope with the power demand.

However, constant overloading and old age can result in damaged wiring, leading to your electrics tripping more frequently and increasing the risk of a house fire.

Sometimes our inspections reveal the issue to be an internal fault or a poor installation.
