14.01.2022 ESV Warn on Evaporative Coolers following a spate of house fires. Today, Victoria’s Director of Energy Safety, Paul Fearon spoke to the media urging homeowners to ensure air conditioners and evaporative coolers are regularly serviced after another house fire early this morning in which a family was lucky to escape with their lives. Mr Fearon said all evaporative coolers and air conditioners should be serviced every year, and homeowners should also check if their coolers were ...subject to recall or rectification notices. Two Brivis models are currently subject to recall as they require rework by a service technician. These are the Brivis Contour Evaporative Cooler and Brivis Profiler Evaporative Cooler, which were installed between August 2001 and October 2003. Mr Fearon said while fire investigators were yet to determine the Brivis model involved in this morning’s fire, the incident served as a reminder about the importance of regular servicing. http://www.esv.vic.gov.au//House-fire-prompts-warning-abou

13.01.2022 A timely reminder from ESV regarding the use of power boards. Power boards are not designed for the connection of heavy loads such as heaters. They are fine for low power devices such as computer & office equipment. The best power boards will have individual switches, wide spaced sockets, surge, EMI & RFI filtering. All should have an overcurrent cut out. If a power board is discoloured around the sockets due to heat, destroy it and throw it out whilst also checking the device that was plugged into it. http://www.esv.vic.gov.au//electrical-safety-around-the-ho

09.01.2022 Getting a lot of safety switch tripping enquiries of late. In most cases the problem is with appliances and can be solved by the home owner with a bit of logic. Number 1 thing is to physically unplug all appliances from affected power points. Only turning off at the switch will not fully isolate an appliance. Refer to the self help guide found on my website http://akmelectrical.net.au/akm-money-saving-tips.php
