RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICAL FAQs
An RCD (Residual Current Device), also called a safety switch, is designed to prevent electric shock by cutting power instantly if it detects a fault. A circuit breaker protects your wiring and appliances from overloads or short circuits but doesn’t detect shock risks.
CFLs use gas inside a tube to make light, saving energy compared to older bulbs, but they use more power, create heat, and don’t last as long as LEDs.
LEDs use semiconductors, providing better energy savings, a longer lifespan, and superior light quality.
Yes. In Queensland, all electrical work, including adding or relocating power points — must be performed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and dangerous.
No. A GPO (General Purpose Outlet) and a PowerPoint refer to the same thing, both are terms used to describe a standard power outlet or socket in Australian homes and buildings. However, PowerPoint is the more commonly used term in everyday conversation, while GPO is the technical term, typically used in electrical specifications. Both serve the same function of providing a point to plug in electrical appliances.
You should test your safety switches every three months using the built-in test button. This confirms they’re working correctly and ready to shut off power instantly in the event of a fault.
Yes. Queensland legislation requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in all bedrooms, hallways, and living areas of rental properties, homes for sale, and new builds. These alarms provide faster, more reliable detection of smouldering fires.
A switchboard upgrade includes replacing outdated fuses or breakers, installing safety switches, and ensuring your electrical system can handle the demands of modern appliances. It’s a critical step in improving safety and avoiding overloads.
If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, it could be caused by an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or an underlying wiring issue. Contact PowerControl Industries to inspect your system and identify the fault before it becomes a safety risk.
Thermal imaging uses infrared scanning to detect heat signatures in your electrical system. It helps identify overloaded circuits, loose connections, and other hidden faults before they lead to breakdowns or fire, ideal for preventive maintenance.
While not legally required, an electrical inspection is highly recommended when buying or selling a property. It helps uncover hidden faults, ensures compliance with Queensland regulations, and can give buyers or sellers peace of mind.
