What does a residential electrician do?
A residential electrician installs, maintains, and repairs electrical systems within homes. This includes tasks like wiring new builds, upgrading switchboards, installing power points, lighting, ceiling fans, and smoke alarms, and troubleshooting faults. They also ensure all work meets current safety standards and regulations. Residential electricians help homeowners keep their electrical systems safe, functional, and compliant across new installations, renovations, or routine maintenance.
How often should my home’s electrical system be inspected?
It’s generally recommended to have your home’s electrical system inspected every 5-10 years, or sooner if you notice issues like frequent power outages, flickering lights, or tripping breakers. Older homes, especially those over 25 years old, may require more frequent checks. Inspections help identify outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or safety risks to ensure the system complies with current standards and supports your household’s power needs.
Do I need a professional to install new lighting or power points?
Yes, any electrical work in Australia must be carried out by a licensed electrician. This includes seemingly simple jobs like adding a light fitting or an extra power point. DIY electrical work is both illegal and dangerous, as it can result in electrocution, fires or voided insurance. A qualified electrician will ensure safe, code-compliant installation and check that your switchboard or circuit can handle any added load.
