I started Connected Electricians to do compliance work the right way. On time, tidy, priced up front. When you call, you get me or one of my team, never a call centre. And every RCD certificate that leaves this business has my name on it.
Credentials you can verify
RCD tripping, dead switch, or landlord letter in the mail? Most jobs sorted today.
RCD keeps tripping
Usually a faulty appliance, damp circuit, or an RCD past its 10-year service life. Diagnosed in one visit.
RCD won’t reset
Could be a genuine fault (good, do not override) or a failed RCD. We test both.
No RCD on the board
Common on Morayfield homes built pre-2000. Legally required before you sell or rent.
Landlord compliance letter
QLD rental law requires safety switch and smoke alarm compliance. We handle both in one visit.
Business AS/NZS 3760 testing
Push-button testing quarterly, 6-monthly, or annually. Certificate issued same-day.
Old ceramic fuse board
Quoted for a switchboard upgrade at the same visit if you want it. You decide.
You can’t legally re-let a Morayfield rental without a current safety-switch compliance certificate. We test RCDs and smoke alarms in one visit and issue the certificate same-day, often between tenants without any downtime.
Do I actually need this?
When you legally need RCD testing in Queensland
Homeowners
Homes built or wired after 1992 must have RCDs on power circuits. Homes after 2000 must have RCDs on lighting too. Selling? RCDs on all final subcircuits are required before settlement.
Landlords & rentals
Every rental in QLD must have working safety switches on power and lighting circuits. We test at the start of every new tenancy and issue a compliance certificate you can keep on file.
Businesses (AS/NZS 3760)
Push-button testing, portable RCD testing, and test & tag of leads. Construction 3 monthly, hostile environments 6 monthly, offices annually. We manage the schedule.

How an RCD test actually works
Four steps
Push-button test
Every RCD has a “T” button. We press it: a compliant RCD trips within 30 milliseconds.
Trip-current test
Calibrated tester injects a small controlled fault. Compliant RCDs trip between 15 and 30 milliamps.
Trip-time test
Must disconnect in under 300 ms. Old RCDs often creep past this: the most common quiet failure.
Certificate
Written certificate on the day. Landlords keep for insurance; businesses have it emailed to their compliance manager.
Local knowledge
What we see in Morayfield switchboards
Often still on ceramic fuses with zero RCDs. Legal to live in, not legal to rent out. We usually quote a partial or full switchboard upgrade at the same visit.
Usually have one or two RCDs, but often past their 10-year service life and quietly failing the trip-time test.
Compliant on install, but we still find RCDs tripping from ageing appliances: hot water elements are the number-one culprit. See our Morayfield hot water page.
AS/NZS 3760 push-button testing is often overdue. We can put you on a scheduled programme so you never miss one.

What our neighbours say
Real Google reviews, real Morayfield-area suburbs
Reached out to Josh at short notice. He responded quickly, provided a detailed quote, and arrived on time. He thoroughly checked the job and found a separate issue in our switchboard which he rectified for us free of charge. Before leaving he ensured everything was clean and tidy.
Josh was so responsive and professional. The cleanest work I have ever seen. He sent photos of the finished job promptly and took great care. He is friendly and solution focused. Works within your needs and doesn’t oversell. Highly recommend.
Josh completed lighting at our home. Not only was he prompt, honest and very courteous, he was also extremely professional. Josh was upfront with cost and time and had everything done well ahead of what was promised. We are very pleased.
