What is a Blown Fuse?

An electrical fuse in the switchboard of your home is a safety device to protect against overloaded circuits when too many appliances are used at the same time.

Another more serious fault occurs when a live wire touches another live wire or metallic part of an appliance. This causes a short circuit and may result in an electrocution injury, or damage to your home from fire.

Electrical fuses to protect against these occurrences may be found in many different forms, ranging from a simple porcelain “plug-in” fuse, to more robust Residual Current Detectors otherwise known as RCD’s. These devices allow current to flow while everything is working normally. When a fault occurs, the flow of current is stopped until further action is taken.

A porcelain “plug-in” fuse, a low level protection device, comprises a very thin fuse wire connected between two terminals.

When an overload or short circuit fault occurs in an appliance or wiring circuit, enough heat is generated in the fuse wire to burn it through, preventing current flow until the fault is resolved and the fuse wire replaced

However, when a fault occurs, a plug-in fuse is slow to react taking time for the wire to burn through before protection is provided.In addition, most appliances operate at relatively high current flows, consequently the correct grade of fuse wire must be used.

Circuit breakers including many varieties of RCD’s are very rapid acting and much safer devices, providing greater protection for your family and your property. Being much more sensitive to changes in current flow caused by faulty circuits or appliances, such devices are able to react in milliseconds, much quicker than “plug-in” fuses and therefore provide greater protection.

Why did your Fuse Blow?

The main reason for a blown fuse is usually overloading a particular circuit when many appliances are operated at the same time, often on a “power board” or a multiple outlet adaptor on a single wall power point.

Another reason maybe if an appliance or power point outlet is subjected to moisture or water causing a short circuit. In this case, always turn off the power point and disconnect the appliance from the wall plug. If the fuse continues to “blow” or the circuit breaker needs to be reset again, call an Alliance Climate Control technician and request an emergency call out visit. Common causes of “blown fuses” or tripped circuit breakers are

Too many appliances used at the same time while connected to a single power outlet.
A fault in any appliance such as broken or exposed wires.
A broken or cracked housing in a wall or light switch, frequently a crackling sound is easily heard.
Water allowed to enter a wall mounted power point or perhaps dripping onto bare wires behind the wall.

Great service from first call to installation. Tommy, Shabi and Miguel have done a great job. Worked carefully, provided lots of information, kept us in the loop about what was being done.

From the moment Liam arrived to give us a quote the whole process was seamless and so professional. Great price and perfectly designed for our house. I cannot speak highly enough of the installers. Yunus and his team were so accommodating and professional. Perfect installation plus they left the house perfectly clean and tidy and removed all the rubbish. Alliance are big on customer satisfaction and what’s not to like about that. We will be using Alliance again.

The installation of my mother-in-law's split-system went better than expected, a good team with B.J., Daniel and the others, from the quotation to the electrician, doing a quick turnaround with minimal noise and mess. The previous system and all materials were removed along with all packaging. Thanks guys.

I am very pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of Alliance Climate Control as a company and also want to make special mention of Jake Perri, Zach Grenfel, Tommy and his team who installed the new ducted unit and Harry and his team who resealed the ceiling, for their excellent work.

James W

Jason and his team at Alliance were professional, punctual and transparent with all the works and fees required. They were responsive and fast with diagnosing, fixing and servicing our air conditioning units on the same day. They also gave us multiple options to keep costs as low as possible which is wonderful considering all works had itemised pricing so that level of transparency was very much appreciated. Thank you and would highly recommend!

James A.

Even the word “outstanding” wouldn’t be a strong enough adjective to describe the professionalism, responsiveness, thoughtfulness and quite possibly unmatched competence of this organisation. This is the second time I’ve engaged their services to rectify issues with my apartment’s ducted air conditioning system and will absolutely do so again.

Peter C.

Great

Michael K.

This company did a great job in changing over our ageing ducted system. The whole process from the initial enquiry, visit from the technician and the installation team was second to none. Alliance provided regular updates and ensured that communication was clear and costs were transparent. A great example of quality workmanship and professional customer service.

Jennifer L.

Alliance installed aircon to our 2 storey 1970s house. The team - Thomas, Gokhan, Dragan, Emre and led by Yunus, were fantastic, from arriving on time to leaving the house perfectly clean after the installation process. They went about everything professionally and expertly, always keeping us informed as they progressed through the various stages, and clearly explaining how the system would be configured and how it operates. They dealt with challenges such as working at heights, their workmanship inside and out was expert and immaculate. They were a pleasure to have in our home. Our great thanks to Yunus for all his thoughtful guidance and each of the team, who all went out of their way to ensure a remarkable job, exceeding our expectations.

Julian S.

Very professional and thorough. No damage and all mess cleaned up. New air con working flawlessly.

chris P.

Extremely helpful, the team that installed the New air conditioning fantastic they went out of there way, also cleaning up afterwards. Big shout out to Yunus 👍

Linden D.

The team at Alliance were incredible - professional, helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of the job. From quote to service on site, the Alliance team made us feel as though we were the most important people in their business. There was no pressure to buy - they simply presented us with options that were both cost effective and were tailored to meet the unique needs of our property. The instal team - Yunus, Gothan and Emie- were incredible. They protected our space with considerable care and did an amazing job - even ensuring our pets were comfortable and not disturbed by the noise of instal, dust or their work. Yunus led his team well and was extremely knowledgeable- happy to share that knowledge with us to ensure we made the most of the air con unit they installed. To be honest the air con unit became less the focus of our experience with Alliance - really my rating is for the Alliance team and their amazing attention to first rate service and focus on the customer as an individual. Did we get a good product and value for money - yes, definitely. But it is the total experience of working with the Alliance team that we will remember and tell others about. Hence this rather long google review. Every word is true. They’re great.

Alliance were recommended to us by friends. James, the sales guy, came out and gave us a few options for our a/c installation. I never, at any point, felt pressured to use their company but I'm glad I did. We chose a multi head Panasonic which suited our house restrictions. You can control it using the normal remote or an App. Which is good for when your kid forgets to turn it off and you aren't home!

The communication was excellent with Alliance every step of the way (sales, accounts, schedulers, installers, electricians etc) and we were very happy with the final installation by Yunus, Gokhan, Dragan and Thomas. Everyone was polite, neat and seemed to know what they were doing.

Alliance were able to the whole job, including electrical work. Very convenient and recommended. Thanks.

Kim H.

I was very happy with very professional work done in installing my aircon units . Very clean & careful with my furniture &unit.The whole crew were good Yumus, Gokhon,Emre plus the units are a lot quieter then expected & I love that they match the outside with colour bond cover over the the pipe. They had all the diagrams & certificates for strata & also electricians. So have no trouble recommending this company.

I was really happy with Alliance from start to finish. The initial communication and appointments and notifying me on approach was excellent. The two technicians were very clean and polite and conscious of not dirtying or damaging my property with their equipment or ladders. They properly advised and explained the processes and options and I’m very happy with the end result. I’ll definitely use them again.

How to prevent Blown Fuses

Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers are usually caused by overloading a circuit with too many appliances and can often be seen as heat discolouration of the power point or power board. In such cases, relocate some appliances to a different circuit or reduce which appliances are used at the same time.

In some cases, a broken or damaged wired entering an appliance will be seen to spark or “blacken” the area around the faulty wire entry when they are used. If this occurs, immediately turn off the power point and disconnect the appliance, making sure not to reconnect it until it has been checked by a professional and repaired. Alliance Climate Control technicians are available to visit your home to assess any appliance causing you concern. Your safety is our responsibility.

Water and electrical power should never be combined and any chance of moisture entering an electrical power outlet should be avoided. All power points in wet areas such as the bathroom or kitchen should be positioned well away from surfaces where water might gather, also any moisture leaking from a pipe behind a wall could have catastrophic effect if dripping onto a power point. This is usually a rare circumstance but it is important to seek professional advice should this occur.

Alliance Climate Control technicians are here to help and on call 24/7. They operate in radio controlled vans and can be at your Sydney address in a short time. Call them anytime.
