What Our Happy Customers Have to Say

Why Get A Safety Switch Installation?

Your safety switch is one of the most important measures for your business or home electrical safety as it aids in electrical fault detection.

Having a fully-functioning safety switch can be the difference between life and death in an emergency situation. Electric shocks can also cause fires, damage to electrical equipment and all manner of unwanted situations.

A safety switch works by shutting off your electricity when it detects an electric shock. If you don’t already have a safety switch installed in your home or on your business premises, your property may not be compliant with Australian electrical safety standards.

You should also have any installed safety switches tested every three months to ensure they’re in tip-top condition.

Approved Electrix offers bespoke safety switch installations and testing in Malvern, St Kilda, and other suburbs across Melbourne’s south-east.

FAQs

What does a safety switch do?

Installing a safety switch prevents electrical shocks, which can be dangerous to your property and its occupants. Safety switches work by detecting anomalies in the current electrical flow throughout a property that might be suggestive of an electricity leak. A properly functioning safety switch will then cut off the power supply where the leak is occurring within milliseconds of its detection, preventing issues like short circuits and electric fires. 

Safety switches, also called residual current devices (RCDs), must be tested regularly to ensure that they’re quick to respond in the event of a short circuit. Enlisting licensed electricians to perform scheduled electrical safety checks keeps your property, its electrical system, and all occupants safe from electrical fires, power outages, and other potentially dangerous electrical faults. Failure to perform regular safety switch/RCD maintenance can result in electrical faults going undetected, resulting in damage to your property or causing injuries like electrical shocks.

Safety switch tripping can be caused by a number of factors, including worn-out electrical appliances, rain exposure, overloaded circuits, damaged wires and more. This is why safety switch and circuit breaker safety checks should be conducted on a regular basis.

When you work with Approved Electrix, you can expect safety switch installation to take (insert time here), while safety switch inspections will take (insert time here) to complete. 

If you need help in a hurry, our emergency safety switch services are available around the clock. Just give us a call, and our experienced safety switch technicians will be at your property as soon as they can.

Energy Safe Victoria recommends property owners conduct at-home testing of their safety switches every three months. Our expert electricians also recommend performing RCD/safety switch testing by a licensed professional at least annually. Safety switch testing should be done monthly if the safety switches are located in a high-risk environment like a building site. 

 

The installation of a new safety switch involves one of our technicians visiting your domestic or commercial property to assess the ideal locations to install safety switches based on the positioning of your electric circuits. Then, we schedule another visit to perform your installation of your safety switch in accordance with all relevant Melbourne rules and regulations.
