If you are living in North Rocks you know this place is a real hidden gem. It’s quiet, established, leafy, and full of solid brick homes that families have owned since the 60s and 70s. If you are living in one of these homes, you have probably kept the home up beautifully on the outside. But the electrical systems inside them might be a different story. If your place is from that era, there’s a good chance your switchboard, safety switches, or wiring hasn’t had a proper look since the day the keys were handed over.
And look, most people in North Rocks aren’t going anywhere. This is an owner-occupier suburb through and through, which means if you need something done on the home, you want it done properly, not patched up on the cheap. If your switchboard can’t keep pace with your modern household, a reno uncovers some shabby wiring behind the walls, or your outdoor lighting has been on the to-do list a bit too long, just let us know. We’re a local electrical business covering North Rocks and the surrounding areas, fully licensed and insured, and we keep things honest with no hidden costs or runaround. Give us a ring and we’ll give you a straight answer on what actually needs doing.
So the thing about a switchboard that was fitted in the 60s or 70s is that it was built for a household that ran a few lights, maybe a single air conditioner, and a kettle. Your home today probably runs a ducted air con across multiple zones, a home office that’s on all day, an induction cooktop, and everything else a busy family uses at once. That old board is doing a job it was never designed for. On top of that, a lot of switchboards in North Rocks are still running ceramic fuses rather than proper circuit breakers, and plenty have no RCD (residual current device) safety switch on lighting circuits. That’s a genuine safety risk for a family living in the home day to day. We come out, have a proper look at what’s actually there, carry out a full switchboard upgrade to the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, sort out RCD and circuit breaker protection across every circuit, and make sure your smoke alarms are compliant while we’re at it. Not sure where your place stands? Give us a call and we’ll come take a look at no cost.
