Safety switch installation in Flinders protects the house and the rural circuits on the same block. That includes power and lighting in a village cottage, and the shed, pump and outbuilding circuits on a large property. Impulse Electrical Contractors fits and tests them from our Dromana base.

Each safety switch is trip-tested and labelled. Outdoor entertaining circuits are included when they are part of the property. A Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) is issued on completion. Call 0418 383 232.

Why choose Impulse Electrical in Flinders?

RCDs for the house and the outbuildings

A Flinders safety check is incomplete if it stops at the front rooms. Large blocks have pump sheds, bore pumps, irrigation, fencing and several outbuildings, and those circuits need protection as well as the house. We open the board, see which circuits already have a safety switch, and fit protection where it is missing. A heritage farm cottage with a simpler board is tested the same way, circuit by circuit, before anyone assumes the original arrangement is enough.

Clifftop houses and village cottages

Homes along the clifftop face Bass Strait, and homes in the village sit in the same small community. Outdoor circuits for entertaining and landscape lighting are part of the test. A safety switch cuts a faulty circuit. It does not take the place of a fitting chosen for an exposed outdoor position. We record what failed the test and what can stay in service.

The visit can sit with a switchboard upgrade, or with a shorter booking that also covers a repair and a few power points. New builds and renovations get the safety switches planned with the architect or builder before the board is closed. An EV circuit is protected on its own once the board can carry it, separate from the bore pump. Irrigation and fencing circuits are labelled so the next person can see what each switch covers. Call 0418 383 232 to book the test. A cottage board with a handful of circuits and a rural board with a pump shed are both opened. We do not mark a switch as tested unless the button has been pressed on that visit. Outdoor entertaining circuits on the clifftop are on that list.

Safety Switch Installation in Flinders \u2014 FAQs

Will you fit safety switches in Flinders?

Yes. We test and fit them in village cottages and on large rural blocks, including shed and pump circuits.

Do outbuildings need their own protection?

Yes, where they have their own circuits. Pump sheds, bore pumps, irrigation and other outbuildings are included in the board check.

Does a safety switch protect outdoor fittings from the weather?

No. It cuts the circuit if a fault occurs. Fittings on a clifftop site facing Bass Strait still have to be chosen for that position.

Can this be done with a switchboard upgrade?

Yes. On a new board the safety switches are planned in. On an existing board we test what is there and add protection where it is missing.
