Is Your Home Safe?
Time to check your Electrical Switchboard.

Electrical switchboards in general, command little interest from home owners, they are usually mounted on an outside wall and frequently “out of sight, out of mind” except to check power consumption when a large bill arrives. Similarly, when purchasing a new home, the condition of the switchboard is not high on a list of priorities.

However, our modern lifestyle promotes a large range of electrical appliances being used, these often require high amounts of electrical current that older style switchboards were not designed to handle and may offer a potential risk if your switchboard has not been recently upgraded and fitted with a safety switch device.

Why should your electrical switchboard be upgraded?

All modern switchboards are required by law to have safety switches installed. These are devices that quickly switch off the power to your home in the event of a fault in an electrical circuit. Safety switches will cut power to any problem circuit, in approximately 0.03 seconds, protecting you and your home.

Current Australian electrical standards require lighting and power circuits on all new switchboards to have safety switches installed, safeguarding against electrical shock and to protect your home from electrically induced fire hazards, however, if your switchboard has not been upgraded recently, you may be in a high risk bracket.

While fuses and circuit breakers, common in older style switchboards may protect against electrical overload, these were designed for low current flow appliances. If a fuse or circuit breaker “blows” frequently, it is evident there is a problem with an appliance being used, however, fuses and circuit breakers cannot offer the level of protection provided by safety switches.

Modern appliances have the potential for higher immediate current flows, often operating in a constant “stand by” mode.

Additionally, a modern family will operate many more appliances at the same time such as TV’s, air conditioners, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers to name a few, requiring the additional protection that a safety switch offers.

If your switchboard is fitted with a safety switch and a fault occurs the safety switch automatically activates. Resetting the safety switch to restore current to the circuit is quite simple if the faulty appliance has been unplugged and disconnected from the circuit. However, if the fault still exists, the safety switch will again sense a circuit fault and cut power again until the fault has been removed.

In such cases, unplug or disconnect the most recently used appliances and reset the safety switch. Once the faulty appliance has been identified it must be quarantined from further use or be repaired by a trained professional.

If the safety switch activates due to a problem with a wired appliance such as an oven or a light circuit professional help should be called immediately before attempting to reset the safety switch again. In such cases leave the safety switch in the “off” position until professional restoration of the circuit is complete.

In the event your switchboard hasn’t been updated recently, your family and your home may be at risk and your switchboard should be checked urgently by a qualified electrician to assess your level of protection.

Selwyn W.
On time new what they were doing polite.
Garry K.
Our technician Gabriel provided excellent service, clear explanations, great communication and a pleasant approach. He efficiently addressed the problem with our system.
Raf B.
We would highly recommend Alliance CC for servicing and repair work of your central heating system. They are highly professional in all ways. Excellent communication re times, job requirements and costs. Thanks particularly to Gabriel who spent an uncomfortable 30 minutes under our house this morning, replacing a section of collapsed duct work! He was here when he arranged, cheerful and efficient despite the "squashed" working conditions!

Thanks to Damon for his professional, prompt and friendly service with my annual aircon check. Also no mess made or dirt left behind which I appreciate!
ana M.
Vash (technician) was on time with great communication and did a very thorough job. Very professional service. Will use again for sure.
Ian C.
great customer service from the quote, booking time and doing the job.
Lane K.
We have just had a new 3-room system installed by Alliance. The technicians (brothers Qais and Ahmad Tajzada) did a great job. There were some access and space challenges, which they resolved quickly. They carefully protected timber wall panelling and left the rooms dust-free each day they were on the job. They finished ahead of schedule (which was a first for me). Communication with the office was also excellent. Altogether, it was a very positive experience and I do not hesitate to recommend them
Eduardo M.
After a few hiccups with booking my appointment the team at Alliance contacted me to arrange the service at a time that suits me. Andres and his colleague did a great job connecting a couple of loose ducts, cleaning the air filter and spotting a few other things I should keep an eye on. Very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely reach out for another service in the near future.
Fearghal O.
Andres R, Ivant & Cristian from Alliance Climate Control did a great professional job installing our new reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system. They set up the system on my phone & explained how the system works. The sales process was easy & have opted to take up the annual maintenance support program.
Chris M.
Excellent service and sorted the remote problem.
Andres was excellent and very helpful
Thank You

Galvis checked the AC unit cleaned and conducted performance tests. All went well and we are very happy
Nivine Y.
Damon was quite helpful and explained what the problem was straight away. He worked efficiently and professionally. He didn’t waste anytime getting the Job done. Thank you Damon
David B.
Jason and Nick completed a full service of our ageing aircon. Very impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. I am happy to highly recommend them. They are both outstanding representatives of Alliance, delivering an unbeatable customer experience.

Another shout out for Jason and Nick who solved a problem with one of our sensors managing to source now obsolete parts and fit them successfully in a tight space avoiding the need to cut into the ceiling and at a modest cost, especially compared to the alternative solution. This customer centric approach is greatly appreciated by us, exemplifying Alliance's commitment to customer satisfaction. Thanks again Jason and Nick!

Excellent service, extremely clean, highly recommend. Tommy, Miguel and Tokham were wonderful, friendly and capable.
Lyn S.
Outstanding service by the team that solved my ducted heating issues . Thank you all
Dan B.
Liam was extremely efficient and attentive to our needs. He quickly identified the problem and tried to fix it on the spot. The only reason he had to come back was due to needing a spare part. It was a tricky job but I heard no complains from him. He even played with my kids. I got two of his business cards, one for me to keep, and one to refer to my friends. Definitively an asset to your team.
Helen K.
I recently purchased and installed an air conditioning unit for my apartment via Alliance Climate Control.
I have been impressed with their customer service, particularly the professionalism and courtesy of each of the many people that I dealt with throughout the various stages of the process.
My initial query via their website received a return phone call from Catherine in less than a minute. Subsequently Jake attended my home to provide a quote. He was pleasant to deal with and provided a detailed quote reflecting my needs on the spot. Will efficiently coordinated the installation, and handled any queries in a timely, friendly manner.
On the day of installation Tommy, Nick, Miguel and Emre were fantastic. They provided advance notice of their arrival, kept me in the loop with what they were doing, worked diligently throughout the day, protected the area in which they were working and left everything in immaculate condition upon completion.
I have nothing but praise for Alliance Climate Control and happily recommend them.

Kody and Emre conducted the annual check on our ducted airconditioning system, installed by Alliance Climate Control 2 years ago. Kody and Emre were professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and paid attention to detail. They provided full documentation on how the system was working. We are giving them a 5 star rating for their professionalism and courtesy. They took their work boots off before walking onto a recently installed wool carpet. They were excellent and are a credit to the company. Thank you.
Stefan U.
Tommy, Emre and Daniel were very professional and completed the job with care.

Great work from Tommy, Miguel & Charles. Very mindful of protecting furniture & floors. Would recommend.

I’ve had Yunus and his team at my house twice to install air conditioning. I highly recommend their attention to detail, quality and cleaning up, and usefully explaining what they are doing along the way.
