FAQ
What electrical work can I legally do myself in NSW?
In NSW, almost all electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. It’s illegal and unsafe to perform tasks like wiring, installing powerpoints or light fittings, or modifying switchboards without a licence. The only legal DIY tasks are minor ones, such as changing lightbulbs, replacing a fuse wire, or resetting a safety switch. Even installing new smoke alarms should be done by a professional if they’re hardwired. Doing unlicensed electrical work puts your safety at risk and can void your insurance or lead to fines.
Why do my circuit breakers keep tripping?
Circuit breakers trip to protect your electrical system from overloads, short circuits, or faulty appliances. Common causes include too many devices running on the same circuit, a damaged power cord, or moisture inside an outlet. If the same breaker trips repeatedly, it could be a sign of faulty wiring or an appliance drawing more current than the circuit can handle. It’s also possible that a safety switch is detecting leakage current. A licensed electrician can test your system to pinpoint the problem and recommend a safe fix.
Do smoke alarms need to be hardwired in rental properties?
Yes, in NSW rental properties, all smoke alarms must be hardwired to the mains power supply where possible, with a battery backup. This ensures continuous operation even if the main power is disconnected. All smoke alarms must also meet the Australian Standard AS 3786 and be replaced every 10 years. Landlords are responsible for installing, maintaining, and replacing smoke alarms, and they must ensure they are tested annually and working before a new tenancy begins. Interconnected photoelectric alarms are recommended for added safety and compliance.
