Installation of
New Switches

Every home needs properly installed switches to protect against electrical shock and fire risks. We install new, high-quality safety switches in both older properties and modern apartments throughout the Eastern Suburbs. Whether you’re upgrading your electrical system or adding protection to new circuits, we ensure your switchboard meets current safety requirements and delivers reliable protection.

Upgrading Old or
Unreliable Devices

Older switches can become slow, inconsistent, or fail to trip when needed, putting your family and home at risk. If your switch feels outdated, damaged, or unreliable, we can upgrade it to a modern, more responsive model. Our replacements offer improved sensitivity, faster reaction times, and greater reliability for today’s high-demand appliances and devices.

Certification for Compliance
and Performance

To ensure complete safety, we test each safety switch using professional-grade equipment. This confirms the switch trips correctly and within the required response time. After testing, we provide certification that your safety switches meet NSW electrical standards, giving you confidence that your home is fully protected.

Repairs and Fault-Finding
for Switches

If your safety switch constantly trips, it’s usually a sign of a hidden fault such as a damaged appliance, water ingress, wiring deterioration, or an overloaded circuit. We perform thorough fault-finding to identify the exact cause and repair it properly, not just reset the switch. Our goal is to restore safe, stable power and prevent ongoing disruptions.

Neat, Organised
Switchboard Layouts

A well-arranged switchboard makes it easy to find and isolate circuits when you need to. We tidy up messy boards, remove old components, and label each circuit clearly so you know exactly what controls what. Our switchboard work is neat, organised, and designed to make your electrical system safer and easier to understand.

Compliant Switches Built for
Modern Electrical Loads

Today’s households rely on more appliances and devices than ever before. We only use reputable, compliant brands that can handle heavy loads and continuous use. These switches offer long-term durability, faster trip response, and superior safety, ensuring your home stays protected day and night.

Why Safety Switches Matter

A safety switch works like an electrical seatbelt; it reacts instantly when something goes wrong. If a wire frays, an appliance leaks, or a circuit becomes unsafe, the switch cuts the power in a fraction of a second. Without this layer of protection, the risk of electric shock or electrical fires increases dramatically.

NSW regulations require safety switches in all new homes and renovation projects, but many older Eastern Suburbs properties still rely on outdated switchboards. If you’re unsure whether your system is protected, we can check it for you and recommend the right upgrades.
