Safety switches (RCDs)
RCDs cut power in milliseconds when they detect a fault through a person. They're the single most important safety device in your home.
Repairs & nuisance tripping
Constant tripping usually points to an overloaded circuit or a faulty appliance. We diagnose the real cause instead of guessing.
Room to grow

FAQs
Questions we get asked
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?
If you have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, frequent tripping or a full board with no spare space, an upgrade is likely required.
How long does an upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed in a day, with power off for only part of that time.
Is it a legal requirement?
Safety switches are mandatory on power and lighting circuits for new work and rentals in NSW. We'll make sure you're compliant.
