Electrical upgrades
Upgrading your home's electrical system can enhance efficiency, safety, and aesthetics. Swan River Electrical specialises in upgrading existing installations, ensuring your electrical components meet your current needs.
Electrical faults and power issues can disrupt daily life, especially when essential appliances like fridges and lights are affected. Our skilled electricians respond quickly to resolve power faults and urgent repairs, using advanced fault-finding techniques to diagnose and fix issues efficiently, restoring power to your home safely.
Compliance/safety for sale and lease of property
Before selling or leasing a residential property, owners must ensure compliance with current regulations, including verifying the functionality of smoke alarms and RCDs, and obtaining an Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC) from a licensed contractor. Swan River Electrical offers comprehensive electrical inspections and testing to ensure your property meets these requirements. If necessary, we will handle any upgrades or installations to bring your property into compliance.
Our electricians will verify that the correct number of smoke alarms are installed, are within their service dates, and are functioning properly. For properties with bedrooms off a single hallway, one hardwired smoke alarm is required. Additional alarms are needed if bedrooms are located in separate areas, or if the home is double-storey, with alarms required on each level.
We will also ensure that your property’s switchboard includes a minimum of two RCDs to protect all power and lighting circuits, as required for rental or sale properties. RCDs provide critical protection against electrical faults by quickly cutting power to prevent harm. Regularly testing your RCDs is essential for safety; simply press the test button every 3 months. If the RCD trips and cuts power, it’s working correctly. If it doesn’t, contact Swan River Electrical for prompt repair, as this indicates a fault in the device.
