FAQ ABOUT SAFETY SWITCHES

  • What types of electrical switchboards are commonly used in Perth?

    An RCD is a device that immediately switches off the electricity when it detects leakage or flow of electricity to earth (or another fault path such as through a human body, for instance). This happens within a few milliseconds, long before electrocution can cause death. RCDs also prevent fires caused by faulty appliances by detecting electricity flowing to earth in electrical wiring and accessories.

  • Are there any local regulations specific to Perth or Western Australia for switchboard installations?

    Yes, all electrical switchboards installed in Perth must comply with the Australian Standards (AS/NZS 61439 series) and the Western Australia Electrical Requirements (WAER) as governed by EnergySafety WA.

  • Can I upgrade my old switchboard in a Perth home?

    Yes, many homeowners in Perth upgrade their switchboards to meet modern safety standards, often replacing outdated fuses with circuit breakers and adding RCD (Residual Current Device) protection.

  • How do I find a licensed electrician in Perth to install or service switchboards?

    It’s important to hire a licensed electrician registered with Energy Safety WA. Solomons Electrics is a qualified and experienced electrical company licensed to deal with all Switchboard requirements.

  • What is the typical cost of installing or upgrading an electrical switchboard in Perth?

    Costs vary depending on the complexity and size of the switchboard, but typically range from AUD 800 to AUD 2500 for residential upgrades, including installation and materials.

  • Are switchboard upgrades mandatory in Perth for older homes?

    Regular inspections every 1-2 years are recommended, especially in commercial or industrial settings; residential switchboards should be checked whenever you experience electrical issues or during property inspections.

  • Can solar power systems be connected to existing switchboards in Perth?

    Modern switchboards in Perth generally include RCD protection, circuit breakers, proper earthing, surge protection, and compliance with energy safety regulations.

  • What should I do if my switchboard sparks or smells burning?

    Immediately switch off the main power and contact a licensed electrician in Perth. Do not attempt repairs yourself as it can be dangerous.
