What Are Safety Switches (RCDs) & Why Are They Vital?
A safety switch (RCD) is different from a circuit breaker or fuse. While circuit breakers protect electrical wiring and appliances from damage caused by overloads or short circuits, RCDs are specifically designed to protect people from potentially fatal electric shocks.
They continuously monitor the flow of electricity in a circuit; if they detect a small imbalance (meaning power is leaking out of the circuit, potentially through a person), the RCD trips and cuts the power in milliseconds – much faster than a standard circuit breaker.
In Queensland, safety switches are legally required on all power point and lighting circuits (at minimum) for new homes, properties being sold or leased, and when certain electrical alterations are made. They are a proven life-saving technology.

Do You Need Safety Switch Services in Toowoomba?
You may need professional safety switch installation or testing from G-TEC Electrical if:
Your switchboard doesn't have RCDs installed on power point and lighting circuits (look for devices clearly marked with a 'T' or 'Test' button, separate from standard circuit breakers).
Your existing safety switch trips frequently for no apparent reason (this could indicate an electrical fault or a faulty RCD itself).
Pressing the 'Test' button on your safety switch does not cause it to trip (indicating the RCD may be faulty).
You are selling or leasing your Toowoomba property and require certification that safety switches are installed and operational as per QLD law.
You are renovating or having other significant electrical work done.
You simply want peace of mind and confirmation that your existing safety switches are functioning correctly within specified safety limits.

Testimonials
What Our Toowomba Clients Say
Hear from our incredible customers who motivate us to do better with each service.
I can’t say enough good things about Glenn from G-Tec! He came highly recommended... I had just bought a historic apartment that needed extensive electrical work... Glenn was incredibly patient and took the time to guide me through every step, giving clear and professional advice... completed the work so neatly and discreetly... even friends have commented on how beautifully it blends... Since it’s a double-brick building, he had to get creative... The result is a seamless finish... His communication is excellent, and he is genuinely a pleasure to work with. For anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and meticulous electrician, I can’t recommend Glenn from G-Tec enough.

Glenn was fantastic to deal with, and I've used him for all of my electrical work on my property (Wiring, Breakers, Fans, Lights, Air-conditioning to name a few). Glenn presented me with multiple options when we ran into issues, and I was always happy with the resolution, and quality of work. Highly recommend Glenn and his work.

Can’t believe how lucky I was to come across Glenn and G-TEC Electrical. It’s one thing to find a great electrician, it’s another to find one who demonstrates trustworthiness and accountability from the outset. We live away, so we were relying on Glenn to be upfront and honest with us, to attend when promised and to be communicative through the process. Glenn did all these things without us needing to prompt him and I’m so grateful for this. Highly recommend!
