Yes — RCDs are designed to instantly cut power when they detect a fault, such as a person coming into contact with a live wire. This rapid shut-off can prevent serious electric shock and save lives, making it one of the most important safety devices in any home.
This is a legal requirement under Australian electrical safety standards. If your switchboard doesn't have Type A RCDs fitted, any circuit work triggers an obligation to bring the whole board up to compliance — protecting both your property and anyone using it.
Landlords are legally required to ensure rental properties meet current electrical safety standards, including RCD protection. Upgrading your switchboard avoids compliance breaches, reduces liability, and keeps tenants safe — while also preventing costly emergency repairs down the track.
Older switchboards with ceramic fuses, worn wiring, or no RCD protection are a common cause of house fires. Overloaded circuits and outdated components can overheat without warning. An upgrade replaces these risks with modern, fault-protected components.
Signs include frequent tripping, ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, a switchboard older than 10 years, or the absence of RCDs. If you're unsure, a quick inspection can confirm whether an upgrade is needed.
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed within a day. Our team handles the entire process — from assessment to installation — with minimal disruption to your home or business.
No council approval is required, but the work must be carried out by a licensed electrician and comply with Australian wiring standards, ensuring it's signed off correctly.
A circuit breaker protects your wiring from overload and short circuits, while an RCD protects people from electric shock by detecting current leakage. A modern switchboard needs both working together for full protection.
