We want you to get the best value. If you’ve already been quoted for the same work by a licensed contractor, we’ll beat it by 5%.
If someone in your house touched a faulty appliance today, would the power cut before they were hurt? That is the job of a safety switch, or RCD: it watches the flow of electricity and cuts the power in a fraction of a second when it detects a fault through a person or appliance. Proper safety switch installation in Melbourne makes sure your home actually has that protection, because plenty of older homes still have none at all, or only one covering part of the house.
We fit safety switches at your switchboard so the circuits that matter are protected, including power points, lighting and high-use areas. Where your board has room we add protection circuit by circuit, so a fault in one part of the home does not leave the whole house in the dark. We test each one so you can see it trips the way it should.
If your switchboard is old or full, fitting safety switches is often done as part of a wider upgrade, so see Switchboard & Safety Upgrades. If a safety switch keeps tripping, that points to a fault worth chasing, so see Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. It is the kind of job most people never think about until it is too late, which is exactly why it is worth doing now.
Ideally every circuit has its own safety switch, so a single fault does not knock out your whole home and you can see exactly where a problem is. We assess your switchboard, fit safety switches to as many circuits as it sensibly allows, and label everything clearly. Before we leave we press-test each one to confirm it trips, and we show you how to test them yourself every few months. You end up with protection you can rely on and understand. If your board is too full to add more, we will tell you honestly and talk through your options rather than cramming it.
An old fuse or even a circuit breaker protects your wiring, but it does not protect you from a shock. A safety switch is different: it watches for electricity leaking to earth, which is what happens when someone touches a live part or an appliance fails, and it cuts the power almost instantly. That tiny delay is the difference between a scare and a serious injury. We make sure the right circuits are covered so the protection is there where your family actually uses power every day. We also check that your existing wiring is in good enough shape to work with the new safety switches, because a switch can only do its job on sound wiring.
