More about electrical work in Loftus
Living on the edge of the national park means more exposure to storms and bushfire risk. Outdoor fittings, shed power and pool equipment should be in good condition and safety-switch protected.
Most Loftus homes are from the 1950s to the 70s and benefit from a switchboard upgrade.
Homes on the edge of the park often have sheds, workshops and pool equipment fed from the house. Over the years, these outdoor circuits can be extended with unsuitable cable or connected without safety switch protection. We check, test and correct them.
Families with young children often ask about adding interconnected smoke alarms and more power points, so fewer power boards are needed. Both are simple, worthwhile upgrades.
For rentals, we can check smoke alarms, the switchboard and visible wiring, and give the landlord a written summary.
Homes near the TAFE campus and the tramway museum are often rented to students and young families. Landlords should make sure smoke alarms are working, that safety switches protect every circuit and that tenants know where the switchboard is.
Older Loftus houses often have the switchboard in a meter box on the front or side wall. Exposed to the weather for decades, these enclosures can be cracked or rusted, which lets in moisture and insects. Replacing a damaged enclosure is often done at the same time as a board upgrade.
