What Does Our Electrical Safety Inspection Cover?
Initial Property Preparation and Inspection
Before commencing, our qualified electricians assess the property’s accessibility and ensure all safety measures are in place. This includes checking for pets and obstacles to guarantee a safe inspection process.
Consumers Mains Assessment
We thoroughly inspect the condition and suitability of your mains supply, checking the cable size, capacity, and number of phases. This ensures your electrical system can adequately handle your property’s power demands safely and efficiently.
Comprehensive Switchboard Inspection
Your switchboard is central to your electrical system’s safety. Our electricians meticulously inspect its condition, verifying accurate circuit identification and assessing the condition of cable connections and safety switches (Residual Current Devices, RCDs) to ensure optimal protection against electrical faults.
Inspection of CCTV, Alarm, and Intercom Systems
We assess the operational condition and integrity of your property’s CCTV, alarm, and intercom systems, ensuring these crucial security components function correctly and reliably.
External Electrical Fittings Inspection
External electrical components face unique environmental stresses. We inspect all external fittings, including weatherproof outlets, outdoor lighting, sensors, and hot water systems, ensuring they are secure, properly insulated, and functioning safely.
Earthing System Evaluation
A robust earthing system is critical for electrical safety. Our detailed inspection covers the earth stake, main earthing conductor, and water pipe bonding to ensure compliance and protection against electrical faults.
Smoke Alarm Testing and Inspection
Functional smoke alarms are a lifesaving necessity. Our electricians test each unit, verify expiry dates, and confirm proper interconnectivity and hard-wiring in line with Australian safety requirements.
Internal Electrical Fittings Assessment
We provide a comprehensive assessment of your property’s internal electrical fittings, thoroughly examining:
- Lighting, switches, and power points in living spaces and bedrooms
- Bathroom electrical components, including heater/fan/light combos, wet area power points (GPOs), and exhaust fans
- Kitchen fittings, such as stove switches, cooktops, ovens, range hoods, and exhaust fans
- Inspection and condition evaluation of various lighting fixtures, including halogen lights, downlights, and linear globes
Post-Inspection Reporting and Recommendations
Following our detailed inspection, we deliver a comprehensive report clearly outlining all observations and recommended actions. Should we identify immediate dangers, our electricians will either rectify the issues promptly or isolate the hazards to ensure continued safety.
