Electrician Kensington: common questions

Do you cover Kensington?

Which electrical services suit Kensington homes?

The electrical services that suit Kensington homes best are safety switches, smoke alarms, and power points.

How often should the safety switch be tested in a Kensington share house?

The NSW Government recommends testing safety switches at least every six months: press the T or Test button on each one and the power should cut out straight away, then switch it back on. If it does not switch off, it is not protecting anyone and needs replacing by a licensed electrician. In a rental, tell the landlord or agent, because an electrical fault is an urgent repair.

Why do the breakers trip in a Kensington share house?

A circuit breaker trips when a circuit carries more current than it is rated for, which is common when several heaters, kettles or other appliances with heating elements run on one circuit at once. Spreading those appliances across circuits usually stops it. If a breaker trips with little plugged in, or it is the safety switch rather than a breaker that trips, that points to a fault an electrician should find.
