Electrical safety in your villa: what to know
Simple steps to keep your property and family safe from electrical hazards.
Older villas and wiring
Many villas on Koh Samui were built years ago and may have outdated wiring, undersized breakers, or no earth leakage protection. If you notice flickering lights, tripping breakers, or warm outlets, have a qualified electrician inspect the system.
RCDs and earthing
An RCD (residual current device) cuts power quickly if it detects a fault, reducing the risk of shock or fire. Proper earthing is essential, especially in wet areas like bathrooms and outdoor sockets. We can test your installation and recommend upgrades.
