Are safety switches mandatory for homes in North Lambton?

Yes, current NSW regulations mandate the installation of safety switches on all power and lighting circuits. Compliance is essential for modernising the safety profile of residential properties.

Does my older property require a complete switchboard upgrade?

Many pre-war cottages in this area still utilise outdated fuse boxes that cannot accommodate modern RCDs. We inspect your board during the site visit to identify if a full upgrade is necessary.

How quickly can you attend to my City of Newcastle Council property?

We maintain a 60-minute target for emergency dispatch. For non-urgent safety switch installations, we coordinate a time that fits your schedule throughout the business week.

Do I need a level 2 electrician for this service?

Installing standard safety switches typically requires a qualified residential electrician. However, if the work involves the service mains or point of attachment, a level 2 electrician may be required.
