19.01.2022 Time is running out to comply to the new Qld smoke alarm regulations. Island life can no longer work on island time.

14.01.2022 Safety switches protect people from electric shock, so to make your property as safe as possible, have safety switches installed on all circuits. By law, domestic rental properties including houses and units must have a safety switch fitted to power point circuits as a minimum. If a property is rented and does not have a safety switch, the owner must ensure one is installed as soon as possible. Don’t mistake circuit breakers for safety switches. Circuit breakers are designe...d to protect circuit wiring and equipment, while safety switches save lives. A safety switch has a test button. If you can’t see any test buttons in your switchboard, it means you don’t have a safety switch and you should contact your licensed electrical contractor to have one installed. Test your safety switches using the test button every three months. Although safety switches can prevent electric shock, they should not substitute electrical maintenance. Have a licensed electrical contractor periodically check your property and operationally test your safety switches. It’s a good idea to have the safety switches tested at the same time the smoke alarm testing is done. See more

09.01.2022 Set aside 10 per cent of HomeBuilder stimulus for electrical safety. Homeowners who qualify for the Federal Government’s home renovation package have been urged to set aside 10 per cent of their budget for electrical upgrades and safety. Master Electricians Australia CEO Malcolm Richards today welcomed the Federal Government’s stimulus measures but urged homeowners to factor safety and reducing energy bills into their plans.... Applicants who are eligible for the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder package should set aside 10 per cent of their renovation budget for electrical safety, Mr Richards said. It’s critical an opportunity such as this is not wasted on features that sacrifice safety or energy efficiency. Many older houses have old wiring and switchboards that present potential electrical safety risks. Setting aside a small portion of a renovation budget more than pays for itself if it safeguards a homeowner from electrical tragedy. Owner-occupiers earning up to $125,000 a year for individuals and $200,000 for couples are now eligible for a Federal Government grant of $25,000 to spend on renovations costing at least $150,000. Work on the renovation must begin between now and the end of the year. Mr Richards said any measure that saved construction industry businesses and jobs was welcome but urged homeowners not to neglect the need to upgrade electrical safety and energy saving features. Installing safety switches on every circuit should be an essential component on any substantial renovation,’’ Mr Richards said. A safety switch can cut the power to a circuit in less than one 100th of a second faster than the critical phase of a heartbeat.’’ Homeowners should also consider installing a Smart Home Package, including updating to a Smart Meter and other features such as in-home displays that give a visual indication of how much energy the home is using and what it is costing at any given time. A qualified Master Electrician can also advise homeowners on the best energy efficiency package for their home when considering upgrading switches, lighting and wiring,’’ Mr Richards said.
