    CAN I DO ELECTRICAL JOBS MYSELF?

    Definitely NO!!

    In Queensland it is illegal for anyone but a qualified electrician to do any domestic wiring or house rewiring.

    A safety switch detects the loss of power from the circuit, and cuts the supply of electricity in as little as 30 milliseconds – 0.003 seconds. Importantly, this response time is faster than the critical section of a heartbeat, and therefore significantly reduces the risk of death or serious injury
