Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my switchboard is outdated?
Older switchboards often use ceramic fuses and don’t support modern safety switches. Signs of an outdated board include frequent tripping, warm or buzzing breakers, or visible burning or corrosion.
If your home is more than 25 years old and hasn’t had an upgrade, it’s worth having it assessed. A modern switchboard offers better protection and often becomes necessary when adding air con, solar or EV charging.
Is it legal to do small electrical jobs myself?
No. In Australia, only licensed electricians are legally allowed to carry out electrical work, even if it seems simple. Installing lights, fans, power points or any other wiring without a licence is illegal and dangerous.
It also voids warranties, insurance policies and can put your household at risk of fire or electrocution. Always get the job done by someone qualified.
Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
A safety switch trips when it detects a leak of electricity — often caused by a faulty appliance, water ingress or damaged wiring. Try unplugging appliances one by one and resetting the switch.
If the problem persists, it could be a wiring issue or moisture inside a power point. You’ll need an electrician to diagnose and fix it properly. Don’t ignore repeated trips — they’re a sign something’s wrong.
