2. DAMAGED WIRING
Electrical wiring and insulation can wear out and become damaged over time. This is why a safety switch is essential in every building. If there are fluctuations caused by damaged wiring, the switch will immediately cut off the power supply to reduce the risk of wiring or insulation burning out.

In this case, don’t hesitate to contact our team for assistance. We can help you to get your building rewired with new electrical cables, ensuring that your home is safe and secure.
3. TRIPPING
When you have too many appliances running, they can leak tiny amounts of current, which can add up to a significant amount.

Don’t worry. Our licensed electrician is always here to help you out! Contact us today, and we’ll assess your problem and provide a safe and effective solution.

TYPES OF SAFETY SWITCHES
In order to ensure optimal safety, it’s important to understand the different types of safety switches available during installation. We can help you by installing and testing any of the three main types of safety switches.
1. SWITCHBOARD SAFETY SWITCH
These switches are crucial for protecting specific electrical circuits, as well as any cords and appliances that are connected to power outlets. While an electrical fault, the safety switch will cut off the power supply to the affected circuit, providing protection. Make sure that only a licensed and certified electrician installs a safety switch on the main switchboard of your building.
2. POWERPOINT SAFETY SWITCH
PowerPoint electrical safety switches offer greater protection for electrical appliances, cords, and other wiring. However, make sure that a licensed electrician installs these PowerPoints and that they are ideally positioned near the switchboard’s first outlet.
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ADD A SAFETY SWITCH?
The installation cost of safety switches at Your Electrical Solutions can vary between $80 to $260. Nevertheless, it’s essential to keep in mind that these costs are not always fixed and depend on various factors. Such as the number and type of switches required, the complexity of the installation process, and any additional services needed.
CAN YOU SELL A HOUSE WITHOUT SAFETY SWITCHES?
Electrical safety switches in Sydney must be installed for power points and lighting circuits in new homes and buildings where electrical circuits are added or altered. This is because safety switches are designed to quickly turn off the electricity supply in case of an electrical fault. However, if a house is sold without a safety switch, one must be installed within three months to ensure the safety of its residents.
ARE RCD AND SAFETY SWITCH THE SAME?
RCD, also known as a residual current device, shares similar features with a safety switch. As a result, both terms can be used interchangeably.
How Long Does a Safety Switch Last?
After the safety switch installation in Sydney, it can provide reliable protection for many years to come with proper maintenance.
Why Does My Safety Switch Keep Tripping?
Your safety switch may trip due to a variety of factors, such as changes in current flow, overloaded power sockets or boards, appliance faults, or issues with your home’s wiring.
