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.

Is Saying About Alliance
Thanks for your help
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.
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!
Couldn’t ask for better service (and my pets liked them which is always a good sign). Great people, would recommend to anyone.
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.
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!
Edit: big shout out to Andre and Miguel
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
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.
