What is a Safety Switch (RCD)?

A safety switch, often known as a Residual Current Device (RCD) is a device designed to prevent electrical shock when a short circuit or other fault exists in a circuit.

The safety switch measures current in a circuit, comparing it with the return current flow of the same circuit. If it measures a significant difference, greater than 300 mA, or 0.3 Amperes, it means there is a short circuit in the line. Consequently, there is a likelihood of personal injury causing the RCD to immediately shut supply of current to that circuit.

Although it acts in much the same way as a circuit breaker, it is designed with the preservation of human life in mind. A reset button on the safety switch allows testing of the “trip” function to make sure it will provide the required protection when needed and should be manually activated at least once every 6 months.

A circuit breaker, by comparison, monitors current flow in a circuit until an over current condition is reached such as an overload. At this point, the circuit breaker “trips” and stops current flow like a safety switch, preventing further damage or fire. However, it only monitors an overcurrent situation and therefore unable to provide protection of human life as a safety switch can.

Additionally, safety switches are available in many forms, as a fixture to any switchboard, constantly monitoring all live circuits, or as a safety device to individually monitor safe use of power tools. This type of safety switch is typically employed on construction sites where it may be impractical to have a central safety switch installed.

How can we help with a Safety Switch (RCD)?

Safety switches installed in a switchboard of any residence, ensure protection of human life when a fault or short circuit occurs in a circuit and a very important element of personal safety. However, Alliance Climate Control also stock a wide range of “stand alone” safety switches to protect individual circuits or to provide protection when using power tools at a construction site.

Switchboard safety switches should always be installed by a licensed and registered electrician to ensure they function as intended and always protect you and your family at all times.

Alliance Climate Control technicians are licensed electricians and able to install a safety switch to your existing switchboard or the switchboard of your new residence.

If your existing switchboard still has porcelain fuses, we strongly recommend replacing these with circuit breakers before fitting a safety switch.

Alliance Climate Control can upgrade your switchboard to provide the maximum level of electrical safety for you and your family and can:

Replace any porcelain fuses with resettable circuit breakers for maximum safety and convenience.
Check each of your existing circuits to make sure they are in good order.
Check the connections or power supply from your electricity provider or solar system if fitted.
Install a safety switch so that all of your circuits are protected.

How to maintain your Safety Switch (RCD)

After a safety switch is installed in a switchboard, it is very easy to forget its even there but regular maintenance is invaluable and its important to keep checking the meter box where the safety switch and circuit breakers are located to make sure they are clean and free from moisture and that the door is always kept securely closed.

Once installed, your safety switch should be manually reset or tripped at least once every 6 months to make sure it will provide the required protection to you and your family when needed. It is also a good idea to use the occasion to manually trip each circuit breaker to make sure they are also functioning properly.

If there are any problems or doubts your safety devices are not working, call Alliance Climate Control technicians. They are always on call 24/7 and can be at your house in a short time in their radio controlled vehicles. Your safety is our responsibility.

Goran met us at our apartment, gave us a very competitive quote and was available to take any questions while we made a decision. The installation team came on time and made sure we were happy with their plan before they started. It was a very smooth process. We would recommend to anyone.

Very good. Punctual cleaned up. Polite. They only did it a couple of days ago and we haven't had to use it yet! They a also explained things clearly. Only issue was when it started to rain I had to ask one of them to put the roof tiles back. A very minor thing. I will recommend them to anyone I know.

I am more then happy to recommend Alliance Climate Control to all my friends. Michael was so helpful helping me to choose the right air conditioning system for my unit at very competitive rates. Nick the installer was on time, polite and very professional. And they left the unit very clean and tidy. Very very please with their services. Highly recommended them. And now my best friend is going to use their services in coming week for her unit too.Congratulation to you and your team. Thank you

The team from Alliance Climate Control were extremely professional, efficient and helpful. When other companies who inspected our aircon unit said we needed to spend $4,000 to replace, ACC looked further and found it was just a few parts that needed replaced. We are thrilled with this outcome and the great service!

Highly recommend Michael and his team. We’ve had him install a whole house ducted system; 2 multi headed units in a 2 storey semi; and a single split system in a strata unit. Every job has been executed to perfection. Beginning with the initial consultation through to completion, we experienced professionalism and expediency. Clean, tidy, efficient installations; good choice of brands and placement of units. We’re really pleased.

Our whole experience with Alliance has been efficient, positive, and easy - quality in home advice, a competitive quote, quick response from the accounts department, transparent invoices and payment by installments. The installation turned out to be hard work for the technicians due to a double thickness gyprock roof but they kept on it until the job was done. They seemed to have plenty of experience and the right equipment for working on installations at height (the property is a townhouse), no problems with providing information to help us gain Strata approval, and during installation they were thoughtful and respectful of our neighbors. We are 100% happy. Penny and Lance - Harris Park

The service from Alliance was outstanding. After consultation with Alex, it was agreed that a new unit would need to be installed. The installation team encountered an unforeseen problem and this was resolved after positive action by management.The level of commitment by all members of the team was truly extraordinary. The installation was completed with competence and remarkable goodwill. I highly recommend Alliance and acknowledge the professionalism and courtesy of all those involved.

We just had technician Jon out to look at our split system air conditioner. He couldn't have been more helpful and generous with his time and knowledge. I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control based on the service we received from Jon.

I simply chose Alliance Climate Control because of their positive reviews. After consultation with Goran I was please to proceed with a competitive quote, and from start to completion of the installation of the new split system along with a new switchboard upgrade with technician Jon who couldn't have been more helpful with his time and knowledge and along with the whole team of 5 were polite and cleaned up after a professional job well done. My whole experience with Alliance with the administration staff to technicians and Michael have been friendly very pleased and happy with the service received and the end result. Thank you.I would highly recommend Alliance Climate Control based on the service I received.

Not only were they very professional and reliable, the work was managed in a timely manner and the technicians were very helpful and knowledgeable. Upon completion, I received a follow up phone from Kristian who went above and beyond in maintaining customer loyalty.

My husband and I had selected three installers to visit our place for quotes, based on high reviews. Goran stood out from the other with his attention to detail, competitive pricing, ease of professionalism and lack of pushy salesmanship. His team did a great job installing our three units over two levels. They kept up a helpful level of communication with me throughout the installation, they were friendly, punctual, tidy, respectful to my place and belongings and were professional from start to finish. We are so impressed with the entire experience. We will have no hesitation in using their services again, and recommending them to our family and friends.

Excellent installation by the fabulous team at Alliance. It started with Goran coming for an assessment and very competitive quote. Team came in and did a fantastic job and consulted me every step of the way as vent placement was tricky in a hertitage house. Very pleased with the outcome and an exceptionally tidy job. Now sitting here in a very warm house.Thank you!

Amazing work from the team. They understood what I needed and were there to help me 100%. They took out my old air con unit and placed new ones in all in one day. I would definitely recommend this team to others.

Can't speak highly enough of the Alliance team. I had delayed the air con install a number of times, due to strata approval muck around, and nothing was ever an issue, super responsive, helpful and then finally the job completion was a breeze, very polite, courteous tradesmen, entertained my young kids and the job was meticulous. Would highly recommend using these guys.

To my surprise, 5 staff members turned up to install 2 indoor and 2 outdoor units. They were very good in their work, communicated well and very neat & tidy. They kept me inform all the way and ask questions on the position of the units and drainage. The final presentation was very professional inside and out. Thank You

I cannot praise Alliance Climate Control highly enough . It is definitely one of the best companies I have dealt with in a long time. I give it 5 stars for admin, professionalism , punctuality, helpfulness , neatness ... It was a pleasure to deal with them from start to finish. They even called me back on a Saturday afternoon when I could not operate the air conditioner (no fault of theirs) - they talked me through it and it worked within minutes . I would not hesitate to recommend them

Professional, punctual and polite. Quoted a reasonable price for high quality goods and services, delivered them exactly when they said they would with no hidden charges, and helped to coordinate auxiliary services (gyprocking) in an integrated, seamless bill.Highly recommended.

Alliance Climate Control were great to deal with. A really thorough assessment ahead of a detailed quote. They weren't the cheapest but but I was impressed with their approach. Good communication around scheduling process. When the installation team arrived they made a useful suggestion about where to place the external units. The work was done efficiently and with minimum interruption to us. Good clean up at the end. And the units are great!! Effective and so quiet you just don't hear them. Highly recommend.

Had Alliance Climate Control install 2 spilt systems a few weeks ago. Very happy with the job and the service provided by Alliance. Communication was great, Alliance kept me informed of timings and progress and made the job hassle free. Very neat and tidy work done by the boys. Thanks Goran, Robbie, Shadie and Moe and all at Alliance. I would happily recommend Alliance Climate Control and would use them again.

Fantastic service! Alliance was very competent and knowledgeable, great at communicating with the client, and did high quality work in a timely manner. Rare to find a contractor that is so honest, competent and organised. Can highly recommend for all air conditioning and heating needs.

The team at Alliance, especially Goran, were exceptionally professional and service-orientated. It took me almost 10 months to get approval to install air conditioning in my apartment and Alliance were extremely helpful in providing me the information I needed to support my Tribunal application and thereafter development application through City of Sydney. Every question I had was responded to promptly and I was more than excited to hand the job over to Alliance once the approvals were sought. The team installed the unit with no fuss, and were very detailed-orientated and made sure the apartment was left in the same condition it was when they arrived. Highly recommend Alliance. Great work ethic, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The service you receive from the office was also friendly and customer-focused. Thanks Goran and the team.

Everything was very painless, installation was quick and the communication between both parties was great. Each process was well followed. We are now in the process of testing and seeing how our ducted system operates. The team that came to install the air conditioning system was also excellent, very friendly and willing to answer questions, they also arrived in a timely manner. The service was really good. I'm quite happy recommending this company to anyone looking to install any air conditioning unit into home or business. As for pricing you get what you pay for, so keep that in mind, they will evaluate your situation and wants, before processing a quote. Thank you very much, the system we have is excellent throughout the hot days!

I rang Alliance in December to book a service for our bedroom air conditioners which had stopped suddenly. They were able to fit me in immediately and a call was booked for the next day. Alex the service man came and efficiently assessed the situation and explained what needed replacing. He talked me through the process and cost. The office then ordered and liaised with me for the next appointment to repair. Alex returned today with Jamie where they efficiently replaced the motor of the system , checked the running and cleaned filters of other systems. Both serviceman were extremely polite and clean/tidy in their work practices. Another impressive feature to their service is they ring you 20 minutes before arriving, something a lot of tradesman could learn from! I highly recommend Alliance for their cost effective, friendly and highly efficient service.
