› Flat Chat Strata Forum › Common Property › Electrical Fuse Board Replacement › Current Page
Jimmy, I was interested in your response. Going back a decade or so, I called an electrician to deal with a faulty room light. He was surprised to see old-style fuse blocks in the 1990s building, and suggested I upgrade with circuit breakers and ELDs. (He showed me the the burnt and melted wiring around the light.)
The then SM agent advised me that although it was common property, it was my responsibility and cost to fix, and I could do so if I wished. I saw it as a safety issue, so fixed it at my cost, then gave all the new certification documents to the SMA. (These days I know a bit more about strata matters.)
So I don’t believe I acted improperly. I wonder if the residents at David2708’s property had similar experiences to mine?
It also begs the question as to why, if there was a central meter box for David2708’s property, why its inadequacies hadn’t been raised in a routine electrical inspection?
Thanks
