Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect the switchboard’s overall condition, labelling, access and visible signs of heat stress, corrosion or improvised modifications. This matters because a crowded or deteriorated board can indicate overloaded circuits or poor past work that needs a licensed electrician to review.
We visually confirm whether safety switches are present and note obvious gaps where they’re typically expected (such as general power and lighting circuits). RCD coverage is critical for shock protection, especially in wet areas and outdoor circuits.
We look at accessible wiring in roof spaces, subfloors, garages and service areas (where safe and accessible), checking for unsupported cabling, damage, exposed conductors and DIY joins. These issues can create fire and shock risks and should be rectified by an electrician.
We assess the visible condition of outlets and switches for cracking, discoloration, loose faceplates or other signs of overheating or impact damage. We also note locations where modern usage may exceed what older fittings were designed for.
We visually note whether smoke alarms appear to be installed and whether placement looks practical for the dwelling layout. While we don’t certify operation in a visual-only inspection, missing or poorly located alarms are flagged so you can organise compliance checks and upgrades.
We highlight visible indicators that commonly warrant further electrical testing—such as unlabelled circuits, mixed old/new components or suspect workmanship. You receive clear recommendations on what to ask a licensed electrician to test, repair or upgrade.

An Electrical Visual Inspection in Moonee Ponds focuses on what can be safely seen and accessed: switchboard condition, visible wiring issues, safety switch presence, and the visible condition of outlets, switches and smoke alarms. It does not involve invasive work, dismantling fixed equipment, or electrical testing and certification. If we identify red flags, we recommend follow-up testing and repairs by a licensed electrician.
We can’t electrically test the board in a visual-only inspection, but we can identify visible indicators that commonly justify an upgrade. This includes cramped layouts, poor or missing labelling, signs of overheating, corrosion, and mixed components suggesting multiple alterations. We’ll explain what we observed and why it matters, then outline practical next steps to confirm requirements with a licensed electrician.
We visually note whether smoke alarms appear to be installed and whether their placement makes sense for the dwelling layout. A visual inspection isn’t the same as a compliance test, so we don’t certify operation, interconnection or battery condition. If alarms are missing, outdated or poorly located, we flag it and recommend a dedicated compliance check or upgrade by the appropriate qualified professional.
Yes. Many Moonee Ponds properties have been renovated over time, which can leave a mix of older and newer electrical work. In accessible areas like roof spaces, garages or underfloor areas, we may see unsupported cabling, older insulation types, or non-professional joins. Even when everything “works”, these visible signs can indicate increased fire or shock risk and justify an electrician’s assessment.
Yes, with access. We inspect what’s available within the apartment and any accessible service areas relevant to the lot, such as the unit switchboard and visible wiring to the extent we can safely view it. Some metering rooms or building electrical areas may be restricted by owners corporation access rules. We’ll note any access limitations and advise what information to request from the agent or owners corporation.
