Old DB boards are common in Mutare, and many weren’t built for today’s heavier loads or frequent grid switching. We upgrade, replace, and tidy DBs so they’re safe, labelled, and ready for inverters or generators.
From Fairbridge Park and Greenside to Murambi and the CBD, we handle everything — new breakers, RCDs (earth-leakage), surge arrestors, and rewiring where needed. The goal is simple: safer circuits, fewer trips, and protection for your appliances during power surges.
An upgrade isn’t only for old houses. If you’ve added a generator, inverter, or heavy appliances, your board might be overloaded or unbalanced. We assess, reconfigure, and fit the correct protection for each circuit.
We also test earthing and bonding to make sure everything ties together correctly. It’s not just about replacing breakers — it’s about keeping your system safe when ZETDC power returns.
Working across Dangamvura, Chikanga, and Nyakamete, we modernise DB boards for homes and businesses of all sizes. Expect a clean finish, proper labelling, and straightforward pricing before work begins.
FAQs
1) When should I consider a DB board upgrade?
If it’s over 10–15 years old, lacks RCDs, trips randomly, or you’ve added major equipment like an inverter or generator. Modern boards improve safety and balance your loads properly.
2) What is an RCD and why is it important?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) cuts power instantly when it detects leakage, preventing shocks and fires. It’s a safety essential for all new installations.
3) Do I need surge protection in Mutare?
Yes. Load-shedding and grid return surges are common. Surge arrestors protect TVs, fridges, routers, and inverters from voltage spikes when power comes back.
4) How long does an upgrade take?
Most jobs take 2–4 hours depending on the board size and condition. We plan downtime carefully so you’re not without power for long.
5) Can you integrate my inverter or generator during the upgrade?
Yes. We’ll connect it safely to your DB with proper isolation and surge protection so your system works smoothly in all modes.
6) Will you replace old breakers with new ones?
Yes, we use reliable, locally available brands that match your circuit loads. Each one is labelled clearly for easy identification and future maintenance.
