New circuit, new build, or an older board that’s never had one, we fit a safety switch to every circuit it needs, not just the minimum to scrape through an inspection. That includes power points, lighting and dedicated circuits like the oven or air conditioner.
A safety switch that’s tripped, cracked, or won’t reset needs replacing properly, not just switched back on and left. We match the replacement to your board and test every circuit before we leave, so you’re not calling us back next week.
We test every circuit on your board, confirm each safety switch trips within the required time, and leave you with a written record of the results for your files.
A few clear signs tell you it’s time to get your switchboard checked properly, rather than living with the risk.
If any of that sounds like your board, it’s also worth asking whether the switchboard itself needs an upgrade, not just the safety switch.
A few things affect what a safety switch installation costs, which is why we quote every job on the day rather than guessing over the phone.
Send a photo of your switchboard through our enquiry form and we’ll give you a fixed, upfront price before any work starts.

A safety switch, or RCD, monitors your circuit and cuts the power in a fraction of a second if it detects current leaking to earth. It protects people from electric shock, not just wiring, which is why it matters on every circuit you rely on.
It depends on your switchboard and how many circuits need protecting, so it’s best quoted on the day. Send us a photo of your board through our enquiry form and we’ll give you an honest, upfront price before we start.
No. Safety switch installation is licensed electrical work in Queensland, and getting it wrong means it may not trip when it should. Our licensed electricians (Lic. 88304) handle the wiring, testing and certification properly.
A circuit breaker protects your wiring from overloads and short circuits. A safety switch protects people, cutting power instantly if current leaks to earth, like through a person. Queensland homes need both.
Usually a faulty appliance, moisture in a power point, or too many things drawing power on one circuit. If it keeps tripping with everything unplugged, call an electrician rather than resetting it again.
Queensland’s Electrical Safety Office recommends pressing the test button every three months, an easy habit is testing when your quarterly power bill arrives. If it won’t trip on test, or won’t reset afterwards, that’s a job for a licensed electrician, not a DIY fix.
New Queensland homes built since 2000 must have safety switches on all power point and lighting circuits, and extensions that add power or lighting circuits need them protected too. Many older boards only cover some circuits, if yours is one of them, we can bring it up to full coverage, including dedicated circuits like the oven or air con.
Yes, but the obligation doesn’t disappear. Queensland sellers must declare on the sales contract and property transfer form whether a safety switch is installed for the power point circuits, and if there isn’t one, the buyer must install one within 90 days of the transfer. Rental properties must have one for the power point circuits within 90 days of a tenancy starting. If you’d rather have it sorted before settlement, we can install and test it across Ipswich, Brisbane and Logan.
