Frequently Asked Questions About Safety Inspections

How often should I get a safety inspection in Melbourne? +
We recommend a safety inspection every 5 years for most homes, or immediately if you notice issues like flickering lights or tripping breakers. Older homes or those with major renovations may need more frequent checks.
What does a safety inspection cover? +
Our inspection covers your switchboard, wiring, outlets, switches, lighting, and major appliances. We check for faults, overheating, and compliance with current Australian standards, including earth fault loop impedance and RCD testing.
Do I need an inspection before buying a house? +
Absolutely. A pre-purchase safety inspection can reveal hidden electrical problems that could cost thousands to fix. It gives you leverage in negotiations and ensures you're not inheriting dangerous wiring.
How long does a safety inspection take? +
For a typical 3-4 bedroom home, the inspection takes about 1-2 hours. Larger properties or those with complex systems may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
