Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need safety switches in my home?
Safety switches, also known as RCDs (Residual Current Devices), are designed to protect people from electric shock by cutting power almost instantly if a fault is detected. They monitor the flow of electricity and shut off the supply when they sense leakage, such as when current escapes to earth through a person. In Australia, safety switches are required on power and lighting circuits in new homes and are strongly recommended for older properties. They provide an essential layer of protection against potentially fatal accidents and should be tested regularly to ensure they’re working correctly.
What happens during an electrical inspection?
An electrical inspection involves a licensed electrician assessing your property’s wiring, switchboards, safety switches, circuits, outlets, and other components to ensure they meet current safety standards. They check for damaged or outdated wiring, loose connections, overloaded circuits, faulty safety switches, and compliance with Australian regulations. The electrician will identify hazards that could pose a risk of fire, electric shock or equipment failure. After the inspection, you’ll receive a report detailing any issues found and recommended repairs or upgrades. Regular inspections are essential, particularly for older homes, rental properties or before buying or selling.
What appliances trip the circuit breaker?
When an appliance trips the circuit breaker, it usually means there’s an electrical fault, an overload, or the appliance is drawing more power than the circuit can handle. This could be due to internal damage, a short circuit, or a wiring issue within the appliance itself. Sometimes, older circuits struggle to cope with the load of modern appliances. Circuit breakers are designed to cut power to prevent overheating and potential fires. If this happens repeatedly, it’s important to stop using the appliance and have it, and your circuit, checked by a licensed electrician.
