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.

Elle Jay Q.

We didn't go ahead with the quote, only because another company fitted our needs more closely, but I would still 100% recommend including Alliance as part of who you call when looking for aircon. Liam Doyle quoted us and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely advise calling them if you need aircon.

Darby J.

From start to end excellent professional team, great communication, very well organised and coordinated, installation teamwork was superb, clean up was very well done.
James, Tommy, Matt, Miguel and Harry were all excellent, courteous and respectful of working in our house.
Overall they were a team that I would have back again and recommend to any future customers.

James H.

Andres, Ivan and Juan from Alliance Climate Control replaced two old air conditioners efficiently and timely. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the products and I highly recommend them.

Helen R.

It was raining heavily the day the Alliance Climate Control technician came to my house to provide a maintenance and check up for my two air conditioners. He carried out the job, working both inside and outside without complaint (about the rain). He was on time and efficient. I have confidence that he did an excellent job. Thank you.

Jay K

Dragon and his two mates were very polite and respectful, they drilled the wall from both sides to minimize the chipping, installed everything nicely, and completed the job on time. I am really pleased with them.

John M.

Good job.

Aaron J.

Wow! I called Alliance Climate Control to get some advice on my ageing air-conditioniers and from that moment on, it was a pleasure to deal with such a customer focused company. After emails / texts from Head Office explaining the process, Raj turned up to give me a diagnostic report on my almost broken air-conditioning system. After explaining all of the possible scenarios, I decided to purchase a new system. Team Leader Vy and Cristian turned up a couple of days later and from that point on, it was all systems go. Everything was explained simply and professionally as the process went along. Other technicians turned up ( Harry, James and Moller) to help with the installation (which at some points was more difficult than expected due to my ageing terrace house) and it was all carried out in an expert manner.
I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control for any air-conditioning needs.

Great team very professional

Kyle was very professional and courteous.

Alliance installed a Daikin 15.5Kw ducted unit one week ago. The team of Garrett, Lewis and Qais worked really well together. Qais was particularly impressive with his work ethics.
Also, Harry who did the plastering, and Yiannis who finished the job off with very careful painting of our ceiling.

Peter K.

Our old ducted air conditioner failed, so we contacted the team at Alliance for a replacement. They provided a competitive quote and completed the installation quickly. James Greene thoroughly explained the process and presented us with several options. Alliance offers exceptional before-and-after sales service, and we have enjoyed trouble-free air conditioning for the past two summers.

Michael W.

Tommy, Miguel and Nick did an excellent installation. Very tidy and neat.

Andrew L.

Alliance were outstanding from start to finish. Made an initial enquiry and James came out the next day. Comprehensive quote on the spot. Accepted and the whole install was done the following week - ducted system and two split systems. Install team of Yunus, Gokhan and Emre were outstanding - courteous, clean and knowledgeable - and worked hard. I'm a pedantic customer - and part of the house is very old - they were more than happy to be accomodating and sort any issues I raised. Very pleased with the quality of the work and the team - would highly recommend.

Rod W.

I needed to replace a reverse cycle central air-conditioning system that was about 20 years old and add a smaller new system in a different part of the house. I decided to use Alliance Climate Control after doing some research meeting their salesperson at my home in a very productive exchange.

Gerald B.

Special thanks to Tommy, Nick and Miguel for their excellent work

jessie R.

This was my second aircon clean and service from Alliance. Both times the techs were on time, pleasant, and knowledgeable. I wouldn't now use anyone else.

Peter H.

What a pleasant and professional service Alliance Climate Control provided. From the initial phone contact to the friendly, courteous, and efficient service provided. Alex arrived on time checked both units and kept me informed at all timers as to the best solutions. We then had BJ, Daniel and Brandon install a new Daikin unit. As mentioned when it was booked they covered furniture and did a clean install. Zac also deserves a mention as coordinating and ensuring a smooth operation made it seamless. Thank you Alliance Climate Control for making it an professional experience, highly recommend.

Scott K.

The Alliance Climate Control team, from engagement, quotation, installation and customer support was excellent. The ACC install team of Tom, Nick, Miguel, Matt, Benjamin and JJ were very professional in all aspects of the install and commissioning. Would most highly recommend ACC.

Inti R.

Tommy and Nick were absolute legends, they did an aircon relocation from my living room to my attic. both Tommy and Nick did the job with no fuzz, fast efficient and more importantly quietly. I was working from home through the job, and they needed little to nothing from me once they were setup and ready to go. The aircon was moved professionally. Thank you!

karen S.

Great service. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Mary J.

BJ,Daniel, Brandon Aysa, Zac Peter & Aden.

This was a very considered purchase.
I'm so happy I chose to go with Alliance.

Philip M.

BJ, Daniel, Brandon, Chris Divis & Zac were all very professional the service we received was excellent. Highly recommend them. Good Job All Round.

Maurice N.

Outstanding staff. Punctual, clean, knowledgeable and efficient.

Your installation has been mostly excellent but very recently I noticed that the condensation has not been flowing into the evaporation tray. There is a short horizontal section of the pipe for discharging the water into the tray but the water, instead of dripping into the tray, tracks backwards and drips onto the floor. I have remedied this by attaching a plastic cone to that short horizontal section. In the future, ensure that the last short section of the pipe SLOPES into the tray to ensure that water doesn't track backwards.

Lia

A big job completed with ease and professionalism by ACC, so happy my place is now cool! From James Greene’s initial quote to the install team of BJ, Daniel, Brandon, JJ, Vash, Blade and Giannis, plus Zac and Eric and Will and Joe behind the scenes, everyone has been delightful to deal with. Highly recommend

Gennaro S.

Brett D.

We have a two level house with 5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms lounge room family room and kitchen
We needed a system to do the whole house
I had two quotes both of which the gentlemen giving the quote were at my house for no more than 30mins.
Darko from Alliance came and was totally professional and inspected the house roof cavity and all. He then sat down with me and discussed the system that would best suited, he explained the installation process and how Alliance worked in all he was here for over 2 hours. It is because of Darko knowledge and commitment we decided to go with Alliance.
The installers arrived on time being Matt,Aaron,Mahalo and Andre. They worked here for 3 days putting in the system. We were totally impressed with the way they worked and the quality they delivered. They were also courteous, respectful and ensured they cleaned up after every day work. TRUE TRADESMEN

WE could not rate the people we have dealt with from Alliance Climate control, highly enough. From the time of quotation to the time of installation we were constantly informed of what was going on.

So from us its a 5 out of 5 for everyone involved from Alliance Climate Control in giving us a great Air Conditioned house

Sam D.

Great service options and very detailed work. Highly recommend

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.
