Understanding Victorian Switchboard Requirements
Victorian rental laws clearly state electrical safety standards. Every rental property needs:
- Circuit breakers replacing old ceramic fuses
- Safety switches (RCDs or RCBOs) on all power and lighting circuits
- Proper main earthing systems
- Compliant switchboard labelling
- Current test tags and certification
These requirements are mandatory for all rental providers. Our ESV-licensed electricians make sure your switchboard upgrade meets every regulation, protecting both your investment and your tenants.
