Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the switchboard for visible damage, corrosion, missing blanks, loose or untidy cabling at the panel, and signs of overheating. These issues can indicate higher risk of faults or unsafe modifications and help you decide if the board needs electrician review or upgrade.
We visually confirm whether safety switches appear to be installed and whether circuits are clearly labelled. Clear identification matters for isolating power safely and indicates whether the board has been updated to a more modern safety standard.
We look for exposed conductors, damaged sheathing, unsupported cables, taped joins, and DIY-style connections in accessible locations like garages, underfloor areas and roof spaces (where safe access is available). These are common red flags for non-compliant or unsafe work.
We visually check accessible power points, light switches and fittings for discolouration, cracking, scorching or loose faceplates. These signs can point to overloading, poor connections or worn components that may need urgent electrician attention.
We note whether smoke alarms are present and any obvious issues such as missing units, damaged housings, or inappropriate placement that’s visible. While this is not a compliance certification, it highlights gaps to address before move-in or tenancy.
We look for visual clues that suggest unverified electrical alterations—such as mixed-age components, inconsistent cabling types, or ad-hoc circuits to sheds and carports. We then recommend the right follow-up, including electrician testing where visual signs indicate higher risk.

Our Dandenong Electrical Visual Inspection is a visual-only assessment of accessible electrical components, including the switchboard condition, visible wiring hazards, indications of safety switches (RCDs), and smoke alarm presence. It does not include invasive work, disassembly of electrical equipment, or electrical testing/certification. If we see red flags, we’ll recommend follow-up testing or repairs by a licensed electrician.
We can’t certify capacity or compliance through a visual-only inspection, but we can identify strong indicators that a switchboard may need electrician review or upgrading. These include signs of overheating, corrosion, missing covers, messy or mismatched components, and unclear circuit labelling. We’ll explain what we observed and why it matters, then suggest the appropriate next step with a licensed electrician.
Yes, we visually note whether smoke alarms appear to be installed and whether there are obvious issues visible at the time, such as missing units, damage, or poor placement that’s apparent. This is not a formal compliance inspection or functional test. If you’re buying or preparing a rental, we’ll highlight concerns so you can arrange the correct testing and installation advice through the right professionals.
They can be, especially where a home has been renovated in stages or where garages, sheds or extensions have been added over time. In Dandenong, we often see extra circuits run to outdoor areas and added power points that don’t match the original installation style. A visual inspection helps flag exposed joins, unsupported cabling, and other visible signs that warrant a licensed electrician’s testing and verification.
If the property shows signs of age, multiple renovations, or a heavily loaded household setup (extra appliances, air conditioning, workshops), booking early can be worthwhile. A visual inspection can identify obvious electrical safety concerns that may affect your risk and negotiation position. If time is tight, we can still provide practical findings and recommend urgent electrician follow-ups based on what’s visible and accessible.
