Safety switch (RCD) testing for homes

Safety switches cut the power in a fraction of a second if something goes wrong, but only if they work. We test them, replace faulty ones and add protection to circuits that don't have it.

Why test safety switches

A safety switch that's stuck or slow may not protect you when it matters. Pressing the test button every few months helps, but a proper test checks how fast it trips.

Landlords and property managers

For rental homes, regular checks of smoke alarms and safety switches are a simple way to keep tenants safe and keep your records in order.

Common questions

How often should safety switches be tested?

Press the test button yourself every few months. A full test by an electrician is a good idea every couple of years, or between tenancies.

My safety switch keeps tripping. Is it faulty?

Usually it's doing its job and an appliance or circuit has a fault. We find the cause rather than just replacing the switch.

Does every circuit need a safety switch?

Newer homes have them on power and lighting circuits. Older homes often don't, and adding them is one of the best safety upgrades you can make.
