Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test selected GPOs for correct active/neutral/earth polarity to identify wiring reversals and earthing issues. Incorrect polarity can leave appliances energised when ‘off’ and increase the risk of electric shock.
We visually assess the switchboard for aging breakers, signs of overheating, scorch marks, brittle insulation, corrosion and cable crowding. These indicators often point to overloaded circuits or poor past workmanship that should be rectified promptly.
We confirm whether RCDs are installed and perform operational testing where accessible. RCDs are critical for reducing shock risk, particularly in wet areas, laundries, kitchens and outdoor circuits.
We check for obvious hazards such as exposed conductors, unsecured cabling, damaged sheathing, unsafe junctions and non-compliant DIY-style connections in accessible roof void/garage areas where visible.
We note smoke alarms installed, their general condition, and any gaps that may affect household safety. We also flag alarms that appear outdated, incorrectly positioned, or missing in key areas so you can arrange upgrades.
We document hazards and safety concerns in plain language and prioritise what needs urgent attention versus what can be planned. The report is designed to help you brief a licensed electrician on the exact issues found.

Yes. Many Dandenong North homes have had extensions, kitchen upgrades or added circuits over time, which can create a mix of old and new wiring and protection devices. Our assessment focuses on polarity, switchboard safety indicators, RCD coverage and visible wiring hazards. It helps you uncover issues that aren’t obvious during an open inspection but can be expensive or unsafe if ignored.
A polarity test checks whether active and neutral conductors are correctly connected at a power point and whether earthing appears intact. If polarity is reversed, an appliance can remain energised even when switched off, increasing shock risk. The test also helps detect wiring errors that may point to broader issues in the circuit that an electrician should investigate.
We test a representative selection of accessible outlets and perform targeted checks based on layout and risk indicators observed on site. This approach is designed to identify common hazards and red flags efficiently. If results suggest wider issues, we’ll recommend follow-up testing and repairs by a licensed electrician, who can carry out circuit-by-circuit verification and remedial works.
Renovations can introduce extra load (new ovens, dishwashers, split systems) without updating the switchboard or circuit protection. We also see signs of older circuits left in service, missing RCD protection on certain circuits, and occasional wiring inconsistencies at added power points. Our assessment helps you pinpoint whether the electrical work looks cohesive and safe, or whether a review by an electrician is needed.
We provide a safety assessment that identifies hazards, likely non-compliances and areas needing further investigation. Formal electrical compliance certification and repair work must be completed by a licensed electrician, and some checks require specialised equipment and access that goes beyond a property inspection. Our report gives you clear, actionable findings to support those next steps.
