Does your switch board look like the photo on the left??Shocksafe Electrical, on Facebook

Ceramic fuses protect the wiring, not the people. A modern board with RCD safety switches cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong.

  • Boards relocated outside to a new meter box when needed
