Is Your Home Safe?
Time to check your Electrical Switchboard.

Electrical switchboards in general, command little interest from home owners, they are usually mounted on an outside wall and frequently “out of sight, out of mind” except to check power consumption when a large bill arrives. Similarly, when purchasing a new home, the condition of the switchboard is not high on a list of priorities.

However, our modern lifestyle promotes a large range of electrical appliances being used, these often require high amounts of electrical current that older style switchboards were not designed to handle and may offer a potential risk if your switchboard has not been recently upgraded and fitted with a safety switch device.

Why should your electrical switchboard be upgraded?

All modern switchboards are required by law to have safety switches installed. These are devices that quickly switch off the power to your home in the event of a fault in an electrical circuit. Safety switches will cut power to any problem circuit, in approximately 0.03 seconds, protecting you and your home.

Current Australian electrical standards require lighting and power circuits on all new switchboards to have safety switches installed, safeguarding against electrical shock and to protect your home from electrically induced fire hazards, however, if your switchboard has not been upgraded recently, you may be in a high risk bracket.

While fuses and circuit breakers, common in older style switchboards may protect against electrical overload, these were designed for low current flow appliances. If a fuse or circuit breaker “blows” frequently, it is evident there is a problem with an appliance being used, however, fuses and circuit breakers cannot offer the level of protection provided by safety switches.

Modern appliances have the potential for higher immediate current flows, often operating in a constant “stand by” mode.

Additionally, a modern family will operate many more appliances at the same time such as TV’s, air conditioners, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers to name a few, requiring the additional protection that a safety switch offers.

If your switchboard is fitted with a safety switch and a fault occurs the safety switch automatically activates. Resetting the safety switch to restore current to the circuit is quite simple if the faulty appliance has been unplugged and disconnected from the circuit. However, if the fault still exists, the safety switch will again sense a circuit fault and cut power again until the fault has been removed.

In such cases, unplug or disconnect the most recently used appliances and reset the safety switch. Once the faulty appliance has been identified it must be quarantined from further use or be repaired by a trained professional.

If the safety switch activates due to a problem with a wired appliance such as an oven or a light circuit professional help should be called immediately before attempting to reset the safety switch again. In such cases leave the safety switch in the “off” position until professional restoration of the circuit is complete.

In the event your switchboard hasn’t been updated recently, your family and your home may be at risk and your switchboard should be checked urgently by a qualified electrician to assess your level of protection.

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. Everything tested and system explained. Cleaned up and left in great condition. All round best service we have had from tradespeople.
Terry H.
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.
John M.
Good job.

Tommy, Dragan, Miguel, JJ and Peter did the job for me and were great - super efficient, cleaned up well and made sure none of my furniture was damaged, and the aircon works great! Definitely recommend.

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.

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.
Mitchell R.
Yunus and team were very professional and did a very neat job. Worked late Friday afternoon and evening to get it done.

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.
