AT THE HEART OF YOUR POWER
DB board checks and upgrades in Randburg
A distribution board, or DB board, splits power into circuits. New appliances, added rooms and faults can all lead to questions about the board. Describe your plans before you book a check.
Explain what the board needs to support
A home office, workshop or extra room can change how you use power. List the equipment and points you plan to add.
A board change needs to fit the existing supply and wiring. A check should come before choosing new parts.
What to mention on the call
- Trips during normal use of your appliances.
- Damage or unusual signs noticed without opening the board.
- Any new circuits or large appliances planned.
- The need to discuss surge protection.
Agree the work and power-off time
Ask which parts will be checked or replaced. Confirm how long power may need to be off and what tests form part of the job.
If a tenant, shop or home office will be affected, plan access and power-off times with them first.
Keep paperwork with the property
Ask for a written scope and keep the invoice and any test records. Tell future contractors about changes made to the board.
Before you book
Will an upgrade stop every trip?
No. A trip can have several causes. The fault needs to be found before the right repair can be chosen.
Can I add circuits for new rooms?
This depends on the supply, board and wiring. Explain the planned work and ask for a site assessment.
