What is a Switchboard?

A Switchboard upgrades is the gateway for all electrical power to your home and the key to your electrical safety. Power from street wires or perhaps a solar system, always connects to your switchboard first. This is also where the amount of energy consumed by your household is shown on electricity usage meters together with main switches to isolate power and hot water systems and any additional isolating switches fitted. Porcelain fuses or circuit breakers ensure safe use of electricity for lighting, cooking and other functions, however, Alliance Climate Control strongly recommend replacing porcelain fuses with circuit breakers together with a safety switch to prevent damage from electrical short circuits but more importantly to ensure the safety of you and your family. A switchboard is also the place where representatives from your electricity provider record your electricity consumption every 3 months. Consequently, your switchboard should have clear access from the street. If you have or propose to erect fencing to keep your pets safe, the switchboard should be located outside the fenced area to provide easy access for the meter reader. Your switchboard should also be given primary consideration when making renovations or house improvements that are likely to affect power consumption. For instance, if you should decide to install a pool or air conditioning system, both of which require significant amounts of energy to run, a specific circuit and circuit breaker and maybe an isolator switch for each facility should be incorporated at the switchboard. Alliance Climate Control technicians can advise the best method of electrical protection for you and your home.

How can we help upgrade or repair your switchboard?

Switchboards usually go unnoticed until a problem arises such as loss of power or perhaps an appliance that repeatedly causes the safety switch to trip. However, if the problem is a faulty appliance, quarantining that article until repaired or replaced should resolve the immediate problem.

However, in the interests of good maintenance, it is also good practice to purposely “trip” or reset each circuit breaker regularly to make sure the safety device is working correctly.

If more serious symptoms are evident such as unexplained “trips” of your safety devices or any unexplained or intermittent fault experienced, Alliance Climate Control are on call 24/7 and can make a detailed inspection including an itemised report of the health of your switchboard.

In these inspections, we will inspect:

I am very happy to support a local business, especially when they go "above and beyond" in customer service and professionalism, from Chris doing the quote, the office team handling the booking (thank you so much for bringing my job forward!), and the install team, Dragan, Cristian and Miguel, who consulted with me at every step and paid attention to the finer details, like plumbing in both discharge pipes to the downpipe a couple of metres away. Great job, thank you boys!

I have had an amazing experience from start to finish. We first met James who walked us through the different models and what was possible for our unit. James also was very efficient with the necessary paperwork required for strata approval. In regards to the installation Dzagan, Christian and Harry were amazing and did a great job with installing and cleaning up!. I also loved the fridge magnet that doubles as a bottle opener. Great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Alliance did a great job installing our AC units. They were prompt in their replies, quick in quoting, reasonably priced, and the install process was smooth. We were impressed by their professionalism during the installation as well and left the place spotless after install. Thanks to Tommy, Nick, Miguel, JJ, and Vash for their great job done!

I could not be happier with the installation of our ducted heating and cooling system, right in time for the hot summer season. All the options were clearly explained and Liam was great at providing his expert recommendations. The job was scoped and booked in quickly considering the time of year. A truly professional, courteous and efficient team did the install, thank you so much Vy, Shabi, Miguel, Benjamin, Peter and Vash. Everything was seamlessly coordinated with minimal disruption, including electrical work. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

I recently had my old ducted air conditioning system replaced by Alliance Climate Control. It was an excellent experience from initial contact right through to installation completion, with the company's focus on quality solutions and service very apparent. I am absolutely thrilled with my new system and highly recommend Alliance Climate Control.For those interested in more detail...The original ducted air conditioning system installed when my house was built had been inoperable for a few years, had needed extensive maintenance while it was working, and never really performed satisfactorily when temperatures were outside a moderate range. The orientation of my house with respect to the summer sun, the use of specific rooms, and a fair quantity of heat-generating gear added a special twist to my requirements.Goran and Jake clearly took these requirements and my priorities fully into consideration in the solution they designed, as typical setups like the original just do not work for me. With a dual system required the cost was obviously higher than a single system so they also provided a less expensive alternative, but ultimately I decided on the premium solution as the ability to operate effectively, without restriction, on both the hottest days and coldest nights was important to me. Goran's help in finalising this was greatly appreciated.It was a three-day installation, starting in near-40-degree temperatures and ending in pouring rain, but the team worked hard to ensure the installation was completed on time.The core installation team of Andres, Ivan and Benjamin were fantastic, and were there for all three days including the whole of the final extremely long day. Other Alliance team members attended at various times throughout the installation as needed. Everyone was friendly, professional, and clearly took pride and care in their work. There were a few hurdles during the installation which the team took in stride: as the customer it definitely felt like ensuring I was happy was the priority.I was impressed with the care they took, for example when manouvering bulky equipment around my house, double-checking that things were storm-safe after the initial work in the roof, protecting nearby surfaces when cutting holes in the ceiling, meeting my super-pedantic requirements for positioning equipment... even wrangling manufacturer-faulty ceiling grilles so I would not be bothered by their out-of-alignment appearance for the few days until they were replaced. They also cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day's work.The new systems are amazingly quiet, both inside and outside, easy to control, and very effective in the limited use they've had so far. I'm actually looking forward to a stinking hot day to truly bask in the contrast, and in the meantime am happily enjoying how much more comfortable my house is.

Very happy with the work yesterday by Dragan, Louis, JJ et al to install an air conditioner at our terrace house - and with James who prepared the quote. It was a complex job and I was impressed at how Alliance was able to swing in extra resources to get the job finished on time. They were very courteous, hard working and cleaned up well at the end of the job.

Very happy with this service! Organising the callout was super convenient, the team were very patient and explained everything very clearly. I was able to call back and easily arrange a service after double checking with other providers. Raj was really helpful during the callout, he went immediately into work and fixed my old ducted system and gave his suggestions on next actions. He answered all my questions and took care to go through the issues. He gave exact 30min call before his arrival and was done within the hour or so. I will go back to ACC for any future jobs!

I was very satisfied with my experience with Alliance from the very first phone call with Christian. I found every interaction with Alliance staff to be professional, courteous and they were all very experienced in their jobs. Goran, Zac and Michael were super helpful and patient in answering all my questions prior to installation of a split system in my strata apartment. BJ, Kim and Anthony, the installers on the day, were fantastic, everything ran smoothly and my home was left tidy. I am very happy with Alliance and would not hesitate in recommending them. Thanks guys!

How can we help upgrade or repair your switchboard?

Keeping your switchboard in good order makes good sense and prevention of dust and rainwater from entering are often as simple as keeping the door closed tightly. Often insects might try to build a nest or habitat there; clear these away as soon as possible and always keep the door securely closed

Additionally, it is also a good idea to activate the circuit breakers and safety switches at least at 6 monthly intervals. This will ensure your level of protection is assured in the event a short circuit or other event causes concern for the safety of your house and family.

If you should need any assistance or experience any unexplained “trip” of your safety device, don’t hesitate to contact Alliance Climate Control, our technicians are on call 24/7 and able to take care of your problem night or day.

Does your Switchboard look like this?
When was the last time you had your Electrical inspected?

Older style switchboards, especially the type with ceramic fuses aren’t particularly conducive to modern day electrical demands and as such need replacing. Ceramic fuses, could be putting you and your family at risk or be an emergency waiting to happen. Switchboards are an essential part of your home’s electrical system. Fuse box switchboards and ceramic fuses do not comply with today’s standards. Apart from non-compliance issues they can pose a fire risk and a hazard for electrical shock.

Alliance Climate Control licensed technicians are trained to immediately recognise your existing electrical protection and regardless of your current switchboard, we can usually upgrade your switchboard from any style fuse or circuit breaker to the latest style combination safety switch circuit breaker.

Our technicians can inspect and advise the cost to upgrade your switchboard to maximise your protection at a moment’s notice.
