Dangers of Old Consumer Mains

With consumer mains, older systems are designed for the time periods in which they were installed. Many older systems, as a result, are not built to meet the power consumption needs of today’s world. Therefore, the consumer cables are more likely to overwork which can lead to many negative problems. The main dangers and problems of older consumer mains can include:

Electrocution – if wiring is exposed or when there is a large amount of voltage running through the older cables, touching them can be fatal. Even if the wires are not touched, the cables are still dangerous and can lead to severe issues.

Fire Hazards – as the cables are worn out and/or receiving too much voltage, they can spark, increasing the chance for an electrical fire.

Power Outages – when overworked, the older consumer mains usually cannot handle the amount of voltage and can overload. Most power issues that lead to outages are often linked to the older consumer mains. They cannot keep up with all the electrical appliances in use/ needing power and will stop working.

When Do You Need A Consumer Mains Upgrade?

Signs you may need an upgrade include frequent power outages, circuit trips, dimming lights, or if your home or business relies on outdated systems that can’t handle modern energy demands.

Frequent Circuit Trips or Blown Fuses

This is a clear indication that your electrical system is overloaded or outdated. This can happen when your current consumer mains can’t handle the energy demand of modern appliances, leading to short circuits or power disruptions.

Increased Capacity for Modern Appliances

A mains power upgrade ensures your home can handle the growing demand for high-powered devices like air conditioning units, pools, spas, and electric vehicle chargers, especially in older homes that weren’t built for such needs.

Dimming or Flickering Lights

Dimming or flickering lights are often a sign that your electrical system is struggling to handle the load or has poor wiring. This can occur when the consumer mains are outdated or undersized for the demands of modern appliances and devices.

Multiple High-Power Appliances

Using multiple high-power appliances simultaneously can easily overload an outdated or undersized consumer mains system. This results in frequent circuit trips, reduced appliance efficiency, and even potential fire hazards.

Relying on Old or Outdated Systems

If you rely on an old or outdated electrical system, you may be at risk for inefficiency, safety hazards, and an inability to support modern electrical demands. Older systems often lack the capacity to handle the growing number of appliances.

Noticeable Energy Increase

If you see an increase in your energy consumption without adding new appliances, it could be a sign that your electrical system is outdated or inefficient. Older consumer mains may not be equipped to handle the demands of modern devices.

FAQs

What is a consumer mains upgrade, and why might I need one?

A consumer mains upgrade involves replacing your old electrical system with one that can handle modern energy demands. You may need one if you experience frequent power trips, use high-power appliances, or have an outdated system that isn’t compliant with current safety standards.

How do I know if my electrical system is outdated?

Signs of an outdated system include frequent circuit trips, dimming lights, and difficulty powering modern appliances. If your system is over 20 years old, it may also lack the capacity to meet today’s electrical needs.

What are the benefits of upgrading to 3-phase power?

Upgrading to 3-phase power provides more efficient energy use, enhanced performance for high-demand appliances, and greater reliability, especially in homes or businesses using multiple large devices.

How long does a consumer mains upgrade take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your property, but most upgrades are completed within 1-2 days, minimising disruption to your daily routine.
