“The spa wiring was literally sitting in water and corroding. Even with Type B RCDs in our traditional switchboard, it still couldn't detect the risk of electric shock. I couldn't believe how quickly the Basis Board picked it up once we installed it. It genuinely saved us from something extremely dangerous.”
What we noticed
When Duncan installed the Basis Board, he uncovered two major issues within minutes.
First: his spa pool was overheating, wasting roughly $120 every month. Second, and more serious: an electrical fault was already present, with water pooling and corrosion in the spa cabling. Even with Type-B RCDs in the previous switchboard, the risk hadn't been detected.
What changed
Basis flagged both within the first scan, before anyone in the family was at risk. The spa was repaired and its dispatch tightened up; the electrical fault was isolated and rewired.
Twelve months on, Duncan's annual bill dropped from $3,887 to $2,091. That's $1,796 back in his pocket every year. The serious shock risk that traditional protection hadn't caught is now resolved.
Electrocution risk caught at install + $1,796/yr saved.
