WA-Compliant Safety Switch Installation
Safety switches are your home’s first line of defense when it comes to electrical safety. They monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit and cut the power instantly if they detect a fault — like when current leaks to earth, which could be due to a damaged wire, faulty appliance, or even an accidental shock. Unlike regular circuit breakers, which mainly protect wiring and appliances, safety switches are designed specifically to protect people.
In WA, it’s mandatory for new homes and rentals to have safety switches installed, and even in older homes, it’s highly recommended to upgrade. One switch usually covers a single circuit, so depending on the size of your home and how it’s wired, you might need more than one. Don’t worry — we’ll walk you through it when we’re on site. At Hilton Electrical, we’re not just sparkies — we’re Your Mate in the Trade™, which means we’ll always give you honest advice and solutions that make sense for your setup.
