Electrical advice to Auckland homeowners

All homeowner should carry out visual checks at regular intervals. Look out for any signs of heat discolouration (scorching or burn marks).

Also be aware of:

lights flickering abnormally or a number of electrical appliances not functioning correctly.
any strange smells associated with the switchboard or operation of electrical appliances.
any strange noises, such as arcing or crackling sounds.
If any of these indications present themselves then immediately isolate the power by turning the main switch off and contact a registered electrical worker to have your electrical installation checked.

Modern domestic switchboards are also fitted with a Residual Current Device (RCD). An RCD is fitted with a test switch which allows the home owner to check the operation of the RCD. Various manufacturers’ instructions suggest a monthly test should be carried out for this type of RCD test.
