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.

I recently had a new air conditioner installed by the team from Alliance Climate Control, led by Vy and supported by Luang, Jamie, Harry, Peter, and Kaj. From start to finish, the service was absolutely first class. The team was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Thank you for delivering such an outstanding customer experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Alliance Climate Control again and highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and high-quality air conditioning services.

Fergus B.

Needed to either fix or replace our Daikin split air con, we inherited it when we moved in.
Gabriel came for a visit, checked the condition of everything and then explained the issues and potential solutions. He then provided clear options with a formal quote.
Agreed for the replacement with a new system, seamless process.
Ivan and his team then installed it over 1.5 days, great experience, they are super professional and also helped out with a cosmetic issue due to the age of our house (1880s...)
It's been a few weeks since the install and we are very happy with the system and very satisfied with the sales and service teams we engaged with at Alliance Climate Control.
Would definitely recommend!

Daniel M.

Great team! Vy was attentive, responsive, and creative with both the cabling and aircon zoning solutions. The team took full ownership of the task, handled all the small side jobs without hesitation, and delivered an excellent ducted air conditioning installation. Thank you!

Christopher C.

I engaged alliance to service my two ducted air conditioner systems. Galvis spent a few hours replacing all my filters , cleaning my machines , getting rid of the rust on the machine housing and spraying anti corrosives on the coils . He paid attention to fine details and explained everything he had done to me before leaving. Alliance is not the cheapest but the job they do is of the highest quality.

Anita M.

Andres and Ivan completed a very efficient and clean replacement of my underfloor heating, great service.

Sascha C.

Alliance were extremely professional in dealing with our large complex gas system. We live in an old house with a Braemar gas heating system that is not straightforward. When it stopped pumping hot air I asked for technicians to come out who were experienced and knowledgeable and could diagnose and deal with a problem efficiently. Andre arrived and successfully diagnosed a problem with the temperature sensors damaged by water inside a duct,, and then returned with parts to re-route ducting around a leak and resolve the fault. Andre and his co-worker Brody were courteous, professional and quick workers and I was very grateful for their problem solving and professional service.

Matthew P.

Another amazing interaction with Alliance Climate Control. We had issue with our App interface so gave Jason a call, few minutes later Joseph called to inquire and decided to book an out call. Next day Andre and Kristian arrived, clean tidy and ready to help. In 10 minutes the issue sorted. I cannot speak more highly of the Technical Team and support, sooooo good. We have never been more impressed with the Alliance professional approach and support. Thanks Team.

Zara B

Have received consistently excellent service since 2023. Galvis and Damon were efficient, client-focussed, friendly, polite and explained everything we wanted to know about our system and components during our last service.

Couldn’t ask for better service (and my pets liked them which is always a good sign). Great people, would recommend to anyone.

Lucinda O.

Responsive, quick, communicative and really lovely to deal with. Will be using ACC again!
EDIT: ACC since came back and did an extensive install job - the team was so professional in their manner, the workmanship is fantastic and the final clean was so good it’s like they were never here.

Joanna C.

I highly recommend Alliance Climate Control. Thank you to Yunus and his team - Emre, Gokan, Cristian who did the removal and most of the installation and to Dragan and his team - Louis and Benjamin who finished off as well as Josh the electrician. I was very worried about replacing our old HVAC gas furnace with a new Electric HVAC. However, the professional team-based approach to the installation was highly efficient and I had nothing to worry about.

From the very start, James gave such a thorough and competitive quotation and answered all my questions. Yunus was so calm and accommodating as he lead the removal and installation and every member of the crew was so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure everything was left clean and tidy with great attention to detail.

Most importantly, we are delighted with the beautiful warm air circulating through our house.

Thank you! ¡Gracias! Tesekkürler! Hvala!

Wesley W.

The team had to come back to fix up a couple of things, easy to book and schedule, on time and sort out the problem

Edit: big shout out to Andre and Miguel

Mario V.

Today, 22.5.25 Alliance climate Control completed satisfactorily the replacement of my old AC system and installation of a new split AC System.
Firstly, Jake Perri inspected my site a week earlier and we agreed on his recommendation and price.
Today, the site team, Dragan, Louis and Benjamin were very polite, helpful and professional during the 3 hours that took to complete the works on a very rainy and wet day.
We discussed some details and issues before works commenced I was given the proper operational instructions.
I'm very satisfied with the work and operation of the new AC, even though, I have been using the system for a couple of hours.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Regards,
Mario

Repair people were prompt, polite and efficient

Alliance have been servicing our Ducted Air Con for the last couple of years and they have always been very professional, friendly & helpful. Last week our Air Touch console was accidentally damaged & clearly needed replacement. Within a half hour of logging my repair request, I received a call from a lovely lady at Alliance who booked a service appt for the following week. Gabriel arrived with replacement console in hand. He was very competent, thorough & courteous - & kept me well informed as he installed & set up the new console. The Air Cond was up & running again, without hassle, in no time! Thanks Gabriel & the Alliance team!

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.
