Safety switch keeps tripping
Something on that circuit is leaking power. We find it, from a wet light to a failing appliance.
What to check first >
It won't trip when tested
A safety switch that fails its test button needs checking. We test it and replace it if it has failed.
Safety switch had enough?
Tell us what is going on. We ring you back, usually the same day.
Safety switch installation in Newcastle, done properly
An RCBO upgrade on every circuit
An RCBO is a safety switch and circuit breaker in one. Give each circuit its own, and one fault won't black out the house.
Hidden faults found first
A new safety switch can reveal a fault that was always there. We tell you what we find and price any fix before we do it.
Trip-tested and certified
We trip-test every safety switch we fit. You get a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW).

Electrician Wallsend >From a safety switch customer
“My power kept tripping and I needed someone quickly. Josh booked me in first thing, came out and replaced an RCD, then installed a new downlight and oyster light in my kitchen which I've been meaning to get fixed for ages. Great service, super friendly and transparent with pricing, explained to me what the issues were so I understood what was going on.”
Safety switch questions
What is the difference between an RCD and an RCBO?
An RCD (safety switch) can protect several circuits at once. An RCBO is a safety switch and circuit breaker in one, protecting a single circuit.
Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
Something on that circuit is leaking power to earth, often a faulty appliance or water in a fitting. If it still trips with everything unplugged, call us.
Should every circuit have a safety switch?
We recommend it. Every light and power point is protected, and one fault only turns off one circuit.
Do you do a safety switch inspection?
Yes. We test each safety switch, check what it protects, and tell you in plain English what needs fixing.
