Electrical problems we fix in Rutherford

Rutherford calls have taken us to a pull-out fuse board, two tripping ranges and a power point that went bang.

Pull-out fuses and early safety switches

One Rutherford board still had pull-out ceramic fuses and early safety switches. We fitted a new enclosed switchboard, a main switch and a safety switch (RCD) on every circuit.

Cooking trips the power

Two Rutherford ranges kept tripping the power. In one, the fan motor had shorted to earth and melted. We make it safe and tell you straight if it is worth fixing.

A power point went bang

A power point behind a TV short-circuited and cut power to one side of the house. We tested the safety switch and replaced the outlet.

A steamy bathroom with two shower heads

We fitted a larger exhaust fan and ducted it out to the eave, so the steam leaves the roof space too.

Electrical work in Rutherford: common questions

Should I replace an old fuse box with ceramic fuses?

Yes. At one Rutherford home we swapped pull-out ceramic fuses for a new switchboard with a safety switch on every circuit.

Why does my stove trip the power when I cook?

Often the appliance has a fault to earth. In one Rutherford range the fan motor had shorted and melted, so don't keep resetting it. Call 0400 232 172.

Can a bigger exhaust fan fix a steamy bathroom?

Often, yes, if it is ducted outside. We did that for a Rutherford bathroom with two shower heads.
