“Replace Your Asbestos Switchboard Before It’s Too Late”
Old fuse boxes could be hiding a deadly secret.
If your switchboard was installed before the 1980s, there’s a high chance it contains asbestos—a dangerous, outdated material now banned in Australia and New Zealand. Don’t take chances with your health or your home’s safety.
