Metropolitan Electrical Contractors is your local expert in all things RCD Safety Switches. Whether you need one installed, repaired or serviced, we can help. We have 25 years of experience in the electrical industry and are available at a time convenient for you.
Residual Current Device safety switches work by breaking the electrical circuit, preventing electric shocks and serious harm. They provide added protection when using electrical devices. The use of RCD safety switches has become compulsory in many parts of Australia.
At Metropolitan Electrical Contractors we offer a wide range of RCD safety switches. We will inspect your home so we can make sure the correct safety switch is chosen and installed for your home.
All of our electricians are trained in the latest fault finding techniques and will always aim to service or repair a safety switch before looking to source a new one. We can also conduct a full switchboard service alongside any safety switch installation. That way we can promise you a safe supply of electricity.
We pride ourselves on our dedication to customer satisfaction and choose to work in line with our very own Quality Assurance Guarantee. This guarantee is in place to ensure our valued clients receive premium service on every job we complete, from an RCD safety switch repair to a hot water system installation.
We also understand that electrical issues can happen at the most inconvenient times. That is why we offer $0 deposit interest free payment plans for your convenience**. They provide flexibility and allow our customers to pay on their own terms. When we arrive at your door you can ask us about our payment plans. Our electricians can provide any advice or clear up any concerns you may have.
A residual current device (RCD) safety switch reacts to any imbalance in your electricity circuit, shutting off your power supply at the switchboard.
It’s triggered in about 0.3 seconds which prevents electrocution. Without a safety switch you would be at risk of serious electric shocks, or even fire, because of faulty wiring or an overloaded system.
What exactly causes an imbalance in a circuit? There are several reasons why your safety switch has tripped, including:
Yes, legislation states that a safety switch is a requirement in all new homes.
Regulators recommend each individual circuit should have its own RCD safety switch. For example, one each for lighting, hot water systems and air conditioning. An individual safety switch on each allows you to better detect what the cause of a trip was.
When a safety switch goes off, it’s not necessarily a major emergency. Often it could just be your hair dryer or toaster has overloaded the system. When a switch does go off, firstly go and turn it back on. If it stays on, all is good.
If you cannot turn it back on, some further investigation is needed.
You can troubleshoot various appliances throughout the home by unplugging them, then trying the safety switch again. If you still cannot get the power back on then the issue could be faulty wiring, or just something an electrician has to fix.

The electrician arrived within the allocated time frame, acted in a professional and efficient manner. Could not fault the service. 5 stars! Most definitely would recommend and use again in the future.
We had an issue with one of our fans and ended up having to get it replaced. Nick came out and gave us a quote in the morning. We wanted to think it over and look at what fan we wanted. We ended up calling back and he came out later in the late afternoon after picking up a fan to install. Ended up staying late to install it. He is an amazing electrician, a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again.
Professional, friendly and very quick to find the problem and fix it!! Great electrical knowledge and suggestions, and we will definitely use Metropolitan Electrical Contractors again.
