Unveiling the Upgrade Process & Diverse Configurations in Mains
When considering mains upgrades, expert advice is crucial. There are two primary reasons to contemplate an electrical mains upgrade in your existing home. Firstly, upgrading becomes imperative if you have an old system deemed unsafe. Alternatively, you may need increased total capacity to accommodate more equipment or appliances.
Upgrading your electrical mains involves significant electrical work and careful quoting. As a consumer, you are responsible for your mains system from the grid supply connection point to your switchboard and beyond. The details of your mains upgrade hinge on your existing system and desired level of improvement.
Explore the best mains upgrade options with QCE. Let us guide you through the process and help you transition to an upgraded electrical installation.
Maximising Mains Capacity With QCE Master Electricians
Mains systems come in one phase, two phases, and three phases. It is typically the most economical to go with the maximum capacity already available from the grid at the front of your property. The difference lies in the phases: the more phases you have, the greater your capacity. For example, if you have a single-phase 40 Amps system, your total capacity is 40 Amps, but with a three-phase 40 Amps system, your total capacity soars to 120 Amps.
Why might you need more capacity?
- Electric vehicle chargers
- Electric hot water service
- Electric heating/cooling system
- Electric induction cooktops
- Large solar system
Why You Should Upgrade Your Mains?
With the way the world is progressing, homes are becoming increasingly reliant on electricity. To ensure you have the necessary capacity, upgrading your mains system is crucial. By enhancing your mains, you set the stage for a future where electrical limitations are not a concern.
