Safety switches
WA rental homes must have compliant RCD protection, and a faulty safety switch must be replaced straight away.
A reliable electrician for property managers, landlords and strata. Quick replies, photos on every job, itemised invoices and nothing extra without your approval.
Electrical safety in a rental is the landlord's responsibility. Here is the short version of what applies.
WA rental homes must have compliant RCD protection, and a faulty safety switch must be replaced straight away.
Rentals need working, mains-powered smoke alarms that are no more than 10 years old. Only a licensed electrical contractor can connect or disconnect them.
Electricity is an essential service. When it fails, the landlord must arrange a repairer within 24 hours.
