Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my outlets or switches need replacing?
Signs include flickering lights, warm or discoloured outlets, buzzing sounds, or switches that feel loose or don’t respond properly. These symptoms often indicate worn wiring or internal damage, which can pose a fire risk. If you notice any of these, avoid using the outlet and contact a licensed electrician for inspection and replacement. Regular electrical maintenance helps identify small faults early and prevents costly repairs later on.
What is an RCD and why do I need one?
An RCD (Residual Current Device), also known as a safety switch, detects electrical faults and automatically cuts power within milliseconds to prevent electric shocks and fires. They’re a legal requirement for most homes and workplaces in Australia. Having RCDs installed on key circuits protects you, your family and your property from serious harm. Regular testing by a qualified electrician ensures these devices continue to operate effectively when needed most.
Can I install extra power points myself?
No — installing or modifying outlets requires a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is both illegal and unsafe. Electricians ensure the wiring, circuit load and earthing meet Australian Standards, preventing overloading and fire hazards. They’ll also help you choose the best locations for outlets to maximise convenience, accessibility and safety for everyday use.
What are the benefits of upgrading to modern outlets and switches?
Modern fittings are safer, more efficient and better suited to today’s technology. Features like USB charging ports, dimmer switches, and weatherproof designs improve functionality and aesthetics. Upgrading also ensures your electrical system can handle modern energy demands, reducing strain on older wiring and improving overall performance. With regular use of electronic devices, a professional upgrade keeps your home safer, tidier and better equipped for the future.
