Does this switchboard look familiar? It could be time for an upgrade

Andy from Illuminex Electrical

Of the roughly 5000 building fires in New Zealand every year, about 1000 are due to electrical problems.
The switchboard is the heart of the home when it comes to electrical, however many NZ homes still lack proper electrical protection.
The switchboard pictured contains an asbestos backing panel and outdated fuses which have zero protection against you or your family receiving nasty electric shocks. If your switchboard doesn't contain electrocution protection devices such as RCD's, then it is due for an upgrade.

Here's an interesting read regarding electrical & fire safety;

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
