Why is an Electrical Safety Check important?

A safety check of the electrical system in your home helps to identify:

  2. Shock hazards caused by dodgy plugs and switches
  3. Faulty appliances or switches causing short circuiting
  4. Non compliant switch boards or issues with switch boards

 

What does an Electrical Safety Check involve?

A rigorous inspection of the entire electrical system in your home. We’ll run tests on your switch board and your appliances to identify current or potential electrical hazards, and reveal whether any of the circuits or components are damaged or overloaded.

  • Inspection of all accessible wiring in the property including in the ceiling.
  • Electrical switchboard inspection to check for faulty wiring, fuses and safety switches that comply with AS3000 Standards
  • Inspecting power points and switches for correct operation, and to see if there’s damage
  • Inspection of lighting in the roof and insulation clearance
  • Check the earthing system
  • Check that smoke detectors are functioning correctly and in date

We will provide you with a report of the audit with any identified or potential issues and our recommendations.
