The Heat is Coming, Is Your Home Ready?
As temperatures rise, so does the pressure on your electrical system. Air conditioners work harder, fans run nonstop, and demand on power circuits spikes.
Getting your home or business summer-ready isn’t just about comfort it’s about safety, performance, and avoiding costly breakdowns.
Top Ways to Prepare for Summer Electrical Loads
1. Service Your Air Conditioner
- Clean filters and check for airflow issues.
- A professional service boosts efficiency and avoids mid-heatwave failures.
2. Check Your Switchboard
- Outdated or overloaded boards can trip or overheat under summer loads.
- Upgrade if you're running multiple cooling systems.
3. Test Safety Switches
- RCDs should trip instantly when tested.
- If not, it’s time for an inspection.
4. Inspect Outdoor Power Points & Lighting
- Summer storms and heat can damage poorly sealed outdoor fittings.
- Check for cracks or moisture exposure.
5. Consider Surge Protection
- Lightning and grid fluctuations during storms can fry your appliances.
- Whole-home surge protection is a smart summer investment.
