LED Lighting Upgrades
Lasting significantly longer than halogens (which last 1,000-5,000 hours) and old incandescent globes (1,000 hours approx’), LED lights can last between 15,000 - 50,000 hours, depending on the product. Although they are more expensive to purchase initially, the significant savings you make on multiple replacements and running costs, make LEDs much more cost effective in the long run. LED lights are about 30% more energy efficient than CFLs (compact fluros), another form of energy saving lighting, however the advantage of LEDs over CFLs is lifespan and instant light.

Switchboard Upgrades
A switchboard is the gateway for all electrical power to your home and the key to your electrical safety. Power from street wires or perhaps a solar system, always connects to your switchboard first.
This is also where the amount of energy consumed by your household is shown on your electricity meter, together with main switches to isolate your home and hot water systems along with any additional isolating switches fitted for power, light, air conditioners, etc.
Circuit breakers ensure safe use of electricity for power, lighting, cooking and other functions, however, some older switchboards have porcelain fuses which aren't as safe as the circuit breakers made today. Although not compulsary, it's highly recommened to replace porcelain fuses with the latest circuit protection devices to ensure the safety of you and your family.
Your switchboard should have clear access from the street. If you have or propose to erect fencing to keep your pets safe, the switchboard should be located outside the fenced area to provide easy access for electricians and emergency services.
Your switchboard should also be given primary consideration when making renovations or house improvements that are likely to affect power consumption. For instance, if you should decide to install a pool or air conditioning system, both of which require significant amounts of energy to run, a specific circuit and circuit breaker may need to be installed in your switchboard. Liberated Energy technicians can advise the best method of electrical protection for your home.
