Protect your home or business with modern safety switches — installed right, the first time.
Many Gold Coast homes are still unprotected by safety switches on all electrical circuits — and it's a significant risk. Current building regulations specify the inclusion of safety switches on all power and lighting circuits in new dwellings, but older homes often lack full protection.
If you don't have safety switches on your switchboard, Robina Electrical can upgrade it today. From replacing outdated porcelain breakers to completely rewiring your existing switchboard, our qualified electricians handle the full scope of safety switch installation and switchboard upgrades.
Robina Electrical's qualified electricians are happy to ensure your home is electrically safe and sound. We provide upfront quotes and complete all safety switch work to current Queensland electrical standards.
A safety switch (RCD — residual current device) detects potentially dangerous electrical faults and cuts power in milliseconds, protecting you from electric shock. Queensland building regulations require safety switches on all power and lighting circuits in new dwellings. If your home lacks them, Robina Electrical can install them quickly and affordably.
Check your switchboard — safety switches have a small test button labelled 'T' or 'Test'. If you're unsure, Robina Electrical can inspect your switchboard and advise on your current level of protection at no obligation.
