15.01.2022 SAFE USE OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES & EQUIPMENT Follow these simple tips for keeping electrical appliances and equipment in good working order. Never use an ageing or faulty electrical appliance including an appliance with a frayed cord, cracked or broken plug, or any appliance that has given someone any kind of shock. Frayed or damaged cords should be replaced immediately or the appliance disposed of. Many old plugs do not have safety barriers between the connections repla...ce them with modern plugs or dispose of the appliance. All appliances must have a regulatory compliance mark (RCM) and the plugs must have insulated pins, as per the images shown. Do not attempt to repair faulty electrical appliances yourself only qualified repair technician or a licensed electrician can repair appliances. Do not touch or attempt to repair a loose, cracked or broken power point switch cover it immediately and arrange for a licensed electrician to replace it. Avoid piggybacking adaptors, instead use a power board with a built-in safety device. Service appliances in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Check electric blankets at the start of each winter for damaged wires, plugs, leads and hot spots dispose of any electric blanket that is damaged. Remove any build-up of materials around the electric motor of exhaust fans, such as fluff, dust, lint etc. Clean rangehood filters regularly. Clean ovens and cook tops regularly to prevent the build-up of spilt fats and burnt foods.

10.01.2022 A messy switchboard can be very dangerous Your electrical switchboard in your home or business is often overlooked when it comes to cleanliness and tidiness. Keeping your switchboard tidy is not necessarily about it being dust and dirt free, although that is also important to minimise the risk of fire. Untidy cables can lead to loose cables which can cause:... Exposed live wiring Frayed cabling Loose connections resulting in power dropping in and out Increased costs during upgrades and repairs Sparks leading to fire Melbourne Region is still full of original homes built in the 1950s through to 70s that have ceramic fuses and aged wiring that present a far higher risk to your families safety than just untidy wiring. Many of these homes are not only missing circuit breakers but more importantly Residual Current Devices (RCDs). Companies on commercial premises can also be particularly susceptible to untidy and dangerous switchboards due mainly to a cost saving exercises and a variety of different electricians all adding their little bit to the electrical switchboard. Keeping your switchboard safe means less susceptibility to electrical down time, reducing your workforce time with computers, phone and internet downtime can potentially cost your business much more than the preventative measures of a qualified electrician looking over your electrical switchboard. Local Electrician can also ensure your business is compliant with current electrical laws.

08.01.2022 Why take risks with an old switchboard? Do I need a new electrical switchboard? If yours looks like this, then the answers probably yes This old switchboard has exposed wiring and old porcelain fuses.

Replacing these old-style fuses when they blow poses a risk because in these old-style switchboards theres no safety switch. This means exposed live terminals when fuses are removed.

That meant minor inconvenience to the clients family and their daily routine. As you can see from the picture, the new installation is not only electrical safe but it looks modern and smart and takes up less wall space than the old unsafe switchboard it replaced. Our client and their family now sleep soundly at night knowing that their property and their lives are protected by modern safety switches installed by a professional Local Electrician.
