Changing a broken light switch doesn’t look that hard. Can’t I do it myself?
That’s a hard no! It’s illegal to carry out any electrical work in Queensland unless you are a fully licenced and qualified electrical contractor. While small electrical repairs may look straightforward, it’s not worth the risk to both your personal safety and the safety of others to carry out the work yourself.
How do I know the wiring in my home is safe?
The only way to know if your home is wired correctly is to have an electrical inspection completed. Inspections don’t take long and are great for peace of mind. Electrical inspections are good if:
- You have purchased a new home and you have concerns
- The property is more than 25 years old
- An electrical inspection has not been carried out in more than 5 years
- There are strange electrical occurrences taking place… Such as your safety switch tripping
- You have concerns that electrical wiring or equipment has been installed incorrectly
We have electrical contractors Brisbane who can complete full electrical inspections for you.
What are safety switches and do I need one?
Safety switches, also known as residual current devices (RCD) are electrical devices that switch off the electrical supply in an instant if an electrical fault is detected.
Safety switches are designed to prevent electric shocks, electrical fires, injury and even death.
And, yes, you need one. The Australian Standards require all residential homes to have a safety switch or RCD installed. If you don’t have one or you are not sure you have one, give us a call and we can take a look.
