We all know how intense Melbourne summers can be — one minute it’s pleasant, the next it’s 40°C and the power’s out. But your electrical system doesn’t have to suffer.
At Blunt’s Electrical, we help homeowners across Richmond, Burnley and surrounding suburbs prepare for summer the smart way — before the heat hits.
🔥 What Heatwaves Do to Your Electrical System
-
Increased demand on circuits from fans, AC units, and fridges
-
Old switchboards may overheat or trip
-
Extension cords get overloaded and become a fire risk
-
Air conditioning faults go unnoticed until it’s too late
✅ Our Top 5 Summer-Ready Electrical Tips
-
Check your switchboard
-
Is it modern? Does it have working safety switches?
-
If it’s more than 20 years old, you might need an upgrade.
-
-
Install or service ceiling fans
-
Fans reduce reliance on AC and are cheaper to run.
-
We install ceiling fans in all types of homes — fast and clean.
-
-
Test your air conditioning circuits
-
Don’t wait for a 38°C day to find out your split system isn’t working.
-
We can run a quick check and install dedicated power if needed.
-
-
Ensure your smoke alarms are working
-
Heat = higher fire risk. Be safe, not sorry.
-
-
Book a general safety inspection
-
Especially important for older homes or after renovations.
