Frequently asked questions

When is it worth replacing a breaker rather than just repairing it?

When it trips without cause repeatedly or shows visible signs of wear.

Does the RCD also need replacing when swapping a breaker?

Not necessarily; they're assessed separately according to each one's condition.

How long does replacing a single breaker take?

Usually a quick job if the rest of the switchboard is in good condition.
