FAQ

Switch-type circuit breakers and safety switches are included in modern switchboards, which help to save lives and keep you and your family from being electrocuted. These switchboards are not only safer, but they also make circuit resetting easier. Faults and problems are easier to detect, and the risk of an electrical fire is significantly reduced.

Yes. The state government has enacted new regulations requiring licensed electricians or electrical contractors to install safety switches and hard-wired smoke alarms in all NSW homes sold or renewed lease agreements.

Yes. Only the cables and accessories installed on your premises are protected by a circuit breaker. A safety switch is intended to keep you, your family, and your employees safe. However, electrical safety switches do not always provide protection. One of these can be installed by a licensed electrician.

In New South Wales, it is currently required that all electrical work be performed by a properly licensed electrician who is certified as being in accordance with the various codes. There are significant penalties for unlicensed work and failure to provide compliance certification. Every electrical contractor you hire to do electrical work should provide a Certificate of Compliance (electrical work), also known as a CCEW.

We recommend that you have an electrical inspection performed if:

• You are purchasing a previously occupied property.
• The property is over 25 years old.
• If it has been more than a year since one has been performed

Double-adaptors used to power multiple electrical items from a single power outlet can short circuit and cause a fire. If you require additional outlets, either have an electrician install them or purchase an approved power board with a reset button.

We all service our cars and keep enough fuel in our tanks to avoid running out. We also keep our bodies in shape by eating nutritious foods and exercising. Why is it a secret that preventative maintenance benefits electrical systems as well? Is it less expensive to keep things running? It is far less expensive to schedule regular electrical preventive maintenance than it is to deal with a breakdown, which can halt progress and cost the company money in lost sales.
