Why Avondale Heights is its own job
Avondale Heights is a 1960s-and-70s suburb, and the houses, boards and wiring all date from that one building boom. The classic board here is a 1970s plastic-fronted unit — rewireable fuses, maybe one early circuit breaker, no residual-current protection on the power and light circuits, and a main isolator sized for the appliance load of 1972. The signature job is bringing that whole installation up to current standard: a switchboard upgrade with safety switches across the board, often paired with rewiring the older sections where the original TPS has aged. Many of these homes are still with the original family, so it is a first proper modernisation.
