Did you know safety switches are a legal requirement?
All domestic residences rented in Queensland are required to have at least one safety switch fitted.
What is a safety switch?
A safety switch is a small device that is fitted in your switchboard and will automatically shut off if there is a fault or a leak. This means injury from electric shock, potential electric fires are reduced, or in some very extreme cases even death are prevented.
The team at Gregg Hume Electrical offer safety switch testing, installation and repairs throughout the Sunshine Coast area.
What happens if my safety switch keeps tripping?
If your safety switch is tripping it means it is doing its job and that there is something in the property that is causing the fault. If you want to try and find the issue, we suggest unplugging all your appliances, turning your safety switch back on and plugging in the appliances one by one and see if you can identify the problem that way. If you plug something in and the switch trip, then you will know what is causing the switch trip.
It’s not always appliances that can cause the safety switch to trip, sometimes you will find it is a result of a faulty power point, also heavy rain can affect your outdoor lights.
If in doubt, always call a licensed electrician. Our team at Gregg Hume Electrical will be more than happy to assist in carrying out the necessary fault finding to determine the issue. Our team are highly experienced in diagnosing issues and providing suitable solutions that will suit your individual needs.
Keep everyone safe in your home and business and contact the team at Gregg Hume Electrical today!
