In Queensland, it is unlawful for anyone but a qualified electrician to do any domestic wiring or house rewiring. Even if the job has been done to standard, it will not reach the certification, which is bad news, particularly if you want to sell the home. It makes common sense for safety to hire a qualified electrician to perform installations and repairs on all your household wiring. You also risk your individual safety and the safety of your family and friends. You can read about electrical safety laws here: QLD Electricial Safety

On a typical power circuit, the current moving to an appliance rotates through the neutral wire. If the circuit is jeopardised, the electricity can leak to earth by a person in contact with the appliance, inducing death or severe injury.
A safety switch identifies the loss of power from the circuit. It cuts the supply of electricity in as few as 30 milliseconds – 0.003 seconds. Importantly, this response rate is quicker than the critical part of a heartbeat and significantly decreases the risk of death or severe injury.

A few constituents to consider when picking a ceiling fan are:

• Where it is to be installed
• Is there a need for a fan that includes a light
• The size of the room
• The location of your house
• The room decor
• Is a remote control fan needed?
• Blade performance needed

An RCD is a residual-current device, also identified as a safety switch. The device is intended to monitor the electrical current and disconnect the power when a leakage is detected from a fault in wiring, an appliance or switch.

Tariff 31 is identified as the Super Economy Plan and is the cheapest off-peak tariff possible for water heating. This tariff is approximately 59% cheaper than your standard domestic tariff.

Nevertheless, tariff 31 is only possible at low electricity-demand periods, such as at night when generators would unless be idle.

Electricity supply is made possible for a minimum of eight hours per day at periods set by the network owner (Ergon or Energex, depending on where you reside) at their preference.

In most circumstances, Tariff 31 will be possible between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. On certain days electricity supply may not be switched off.
Tariff 31 is best fitted to water heaters and can be an excellent way to decrease your power bill.

Tariff 33 is identified as the economy tariff and is best fitted to water heaters and pool pumps. Tariff 33 is up to 40% less costly than the usual domestic tariff.

According to Energex, an electricity network provider in South-East Queensland, Tariff 33 is possible for a minimum of 18 hours per day.
The periods of supply for Tariff 33 are entirely up to the network providers (Energex or Ergon). Still, it is most probable that Tariff 33 will be turned off in the peak hours of:

• 6-9 am in the morning.
• 4-9 pm at night.

As you can see, there is loads of time to run your pool pump and hot water system outside of those hours.

It is essential to remember that the times of supply are at the network provider’s preference. On certain days electricity supply may not be switched off at all.

• The property is more than 25 years old
• You are purchasing a property that has been occupied
