Safety Switch Installation Sydney
Why Every Sydney Home Needs a Safety Switch
A safety switch — technically a Residual Current Device, or RCD — is the only device on your switchboard that actually saves lives. Circuit breakers and fuses protect your wiring from overload, but they won't trip fast enough to stop a fatal electric shock.
An RCD does. It cuts power in under 30 milliseconds the moment it detects current leaking to earth — through a frayed cable, a wet appliance, or a person.
Since 1991, every new powerpoint circuit in NSW has been required to have one. Since 2000, the same has applied to lighting circuits. If your home was built or last rewired before then, there's a real chance entire circuits in your house are running without protection.

As/Nzs 3000:2018 — What the Wiring Rules Actually Require
AS/NZS 3000
2018
WIRING RULES COMPLIANT
As of May 2023, Type AC RCDs are no longer permitted for new or altered installations. Type A is now the minimum — it detects both standard AC fault currents and the pulsating DC fault currents produced by modern electronics.
If your installer offers to fit a Type AC RCD on new work, walk away. Every safety switch we install is a Type A or higher.

Testimonials
"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.
When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.
