Any one of these is worth a phone call to our team.
If you have ever twisted fuse wire back together, the board predates modern safety standards entirely.
Circuit breakers protect the wiring, not you. Without a safety switch, a fault at a power point or even a drill through a cable can be a real shock risk.
Nuisance tripping is the board telling you the load has outgrown it, or that something is faulting.
Turn the main switch off straight away and get it checked before anything is turned back on.
New loads like these often draw more than an older board was ever built to handle.
A pre-purchase or pre-sale inspection often flags an outdated board, so sorting it early avoids surprises at settlement.

A switchboard upgrade replaces outdated components with modern, safer ones. It ensures your home’s electrical system can handle today’s power demands, reducing risks of outages or fires.
Yes, Rock Electrical specialises in upgrading outdated switchboards to ensure they meet current safety and compliance standards. This includes installing safety switches, circuit breakers, and other protective devices to enhance your home's electrical safety.
Safety switches have been compulsory for power circuits in all new Tasmanian homes since July 1992. This means many Tasmanian homes already have a safety switch installed which protects most of the power circuits. However, safety switches may be missing from homes built before that time. The switchboard is the best place to look for permanently installed safety switches. Safety switches can be easily identified; they are the ones with a test or T button.
Safety switches monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit. They automatically shut off the electricity supply when current is detected leaking from faulty switches, wiring or electrical appliances. This stops the chance of current flowing to earth, through a person and electrocuting them.
No, many homes already have circuit breakers installed. However, circuit breakers only protect against overloading and short circuits. They do not prevent electrocution.
All RCDs are manufactured with a test button. Homeowners and tenants should press the test button every three months. Pushing the test button simulates an earth leakage fault and indicates whether or not the device is operating correctly. Electrical clocks and timing devices may have to be reset after the test button has been pushed and the RCD turned back on.
Rock Electrical caters to customers throughout Hobart and the surrounding areas including but not limited to Blackmans Bay, Bruny Island, Cygnet, Geeveston, Huonville, Kettering, Kingston, Margate, New Norfolk and Woodbridge.
