Safety Switch Installation Melbourne
Safety switches (RCDs) cut the power in a fraction of a second when they detect a fault — the difference between a harmless trip and a serious shock. If your switchboard doesn't have them, we install and test safety switches across Melbourne.

What's involved
Safety Switch Installation, done properly
- Assessing your switchboard and existing protection
- Installing RCD safety switches on power and lighting circuits
- Testing every RCD with a calibrated tester (not just the push button)
- Rental / landlord safety-switch compliance checks
- Providing clear documentation of the work and test results
Many older Melbourne homes have no safety switches at all, and Victorian rental laws require regular safety-switch testing. We recommend at least two RCDs so a fault on one circuit doesn't black out the whole home.

About safety switch installation in Melbourne
A circuit breaker protects the wiring from overload and short circuits. A safety switch (RCD) protects people — it detects current leaking to earth (like through a person) and cuts power in milliseconds. You want both.
Press the test button every three months yourself. For rentals, a licensed electrician should test them at the intervals set by Victorian rental regulations — we can handle this and document it.
