Definitely NO!!

In Western Australia it is illegal for anyone but a qualified electrician to do any commercial, domestic wiring or house rewiring. Even if the work has been done to standard it will not pass certification which is bad news especially if you need to sell the property. It makes sense for safety to hire a qualified electrician to carry out all your household wiring. You also risk your personal safety and the safety of your family and friends

Self-cleaning ovens use heat to burn away any spills or splatters inside the oven. The oven will heat at around 480 degrees Celsius incinerating all spills turning them to ash which can be wiped out of the oven once it is cool. The oven will also be fitted with a self-locking door mechanism to prevent access to the oven during the cleaning process.

On a normal power circuit, the current flowing to an appliance returns through the neutral wire. If the circuit is compromised, the electricity can leak to earth through a person in contact with the appliance, causing death or serious injury.

A safety switch detects the loss of power from the circuit, and cuts the supply of electricity in as little as 30 milliseconds – 0.003 seconds. Importantly, this response time is faster than the critical section of a heartbeat, and therefore significantly reduces the risk of death or serious injury.

A few factors to consider when choosing a ceiling fan are:

  • Where it is to be installed
  • The size of the room
  • Is there need for a fan which includes a light
  • The room decor
  • Blade performance needed
  • The location of your house
  • Is a remote control fan needed.

An RCD is a residual-current device, also known as a safety switch. The device is designed to monitor the electrical current and disconnect the power when a leak is detected from a fault in wiring, an appliance or switch.

Test and Tag is a system where our electricians will test all the electrical equipment in a workplace for faults ensuring it is safe to be used by employees. The electrician will then attach a tag to the piece of equipment stating the date it was tested and when the next test is due.

  • You are purchasing a property that has been occupied
  • The property is more then 25 years old
  • If it is more then 5 years since one has been done
  • If you are concerned about how any of the equipment may have been installed
