Signs You Need a Consumer Mains Replacement
If your home has old, damaged, or overloaded consumer mains, it can lead to serious safety risks and non-compliance with Western Power regulations. Our licensed electricians specialise in inspecting, upgrading, and replacing consumer mains to keep your electrical system safe and up to standard.
You Have Old or Outdated Wiring
Older homes may still use VIR or cotton-braided wiring, which can become brittle and unsafe over time. Replacing it with modern cabling reduces fire risk and ensures your system meets current standards.
Upgrades to Support Higher Power Usage
