Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for signs of ageing, heat stress, corrosion, exposed openings, untidy terminations, and outdated components. We also note whether the setup appears suitable for typical household demand and whether the board presents visible safety concerns that may need an electrician’s attention.
We check whether safety switches appear to be installed and correctly identified at the board, including visible labelling and circuit organisation. Where RCD coverage looks incomplete or unclear, we flag it so you can confirm protection levels with a licensed electrician.
We inspect accessible, visible wiring where it can be seen (such as near the switchboard, garage areas, roof access points where safe, and service entry areas). We note visible deterioration, unsupported cabling, makeshift joins, or older-style cable presentations that warrant further investigation.
We look for visual issues including cracked plates, loose fittings, scorch marks, discolouration, non-standard installations, and signs of overheating. These indicators can point to overloaded circuits, poor connections, or water ingress risk that should be tested and repaired.
We visually confirm the presence of smoke alarms where accessible and note obvious concerns such as missing units, poor location choices, physical damage, or aging devices. We highlight items that may not meet current residential expectations so you can plan upgrades promptly.
We compile a clear list of visible electrical compliance concerns and safety priorities, with practical next steps. This includes items that typically trigger follow-up by a licensed electrician, especially where the property shows signs of older infrastructure or recent alterations.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Flemington, we often see properties with a blend of older electrical infrastructure and later renovations. During a visual inspection, we commonly flag crowded or outdated switchboards, unclear circuit labelling, signs of heat stress around breakers, and ageing or poorly supported visible cabling. We also look for damaged power points, scorch marks, and smoke alarms that appear missing, old, or poorly positioned.
No. An Electrical Visual Inspection is a non-invasive, visual-only assessment of accessible components. We don’t perform electrical testing, load testing, or issue an electrical compliance certificate. If we identify red flags—such as potential RCD coverage gaps, visible wiring deterioration, or switchboard concerns—we recommend follow-up testing and rectification by a licensed electrician before settlement or before you start using the home heavily.
Yes, we visually review the switchboard to see whether safety switches (RCDs) appear to be installed and how circuits are arranged and labelled. We also note visible condition issues such as heat staining, corrosion, open gaps, or mismatched components. Because this is visual-only, we can’t confirm trip times or correct operation, so any uncertainty is listed for electrician verification.
Often, yes. Older homes can show evidence of multiple upgrade stages—old circuits alongside newer additions, extra power points, or altered lighting. During a visual inspection we look for signs that suggest older cabling may still be present, plus any improvised joins or unsafe terminations that are visible. If the electrical presentation suggests mixed-era work, we’ll recommend a licensed electrician assess it in detail.
We inspect accessible areas where it’s safe to do so, focusing on the switchboard, visible wiring, accessible fittings, and smoke alarms. We don’t dismantle fixed components, move heavy stored items, or enter unsafe roof spaces. If access is limited—common in tightly packed storage areas or locked meter locations—we note the limitation and advise what should be checked once access is available.
