When it comes to keeping your home safe, it can be as simple as flicking a switch. Safety switches, also known as residual current devices (RCDs), are located in your home’s meter box – and are highly recommended for safely wired homes. They not only regulate your household’s electrical output, they serve as a simple, reliable test to ensure your household is running smoothly. Renting or selling your property? Then it is absolutely mandatory you have RCDs installed.

In essence, safety switches monitor the electrical currents of your home’s appliances and gadgets, and work as regulators in case anything goes haywire. Ever had the kettle boiling, the hairdryer blasting, and the clothes whirring in the dryer – only to find they’ve all suddenly come to a standstill? It might be annoying, but it’s actually your safety switch doing you a favour, automatically disconnecting the power to help minimise damage to your home.

Plus, once installed, safety switches make for a simple method to test your household’s electricity safety.
