Risk of Electric Shock from Old Circuit Breakers in Homes
February 27, 2025
Approximately 80,000 homes in Cyprus are at risk of electric shock due to outdated circuit breakers. The Ministry of Finance stated it does not intend to fund the replacement of these devices. These old breakers were installed in homes built before 1980 and are now considered dangerous. The replacement process requires cooperation between tenants and owners, complicating the issue.
