Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test for correct polarity (active/neutral/earth) at accessible power points to help detect wiring errors that can make appliance casings live or reduce the effectiveness of safety protection.
We visually assess the switchboard for signs of overheating, deterioration, loose or crowded cabling, older-style components and poor labelling that can increase fault risk and slow emergency isolation.
We confirm whether safety switches are installed where expected and perform basic functional checks (where accessible) to identify missing or non-operating RCDs that leave circuits less protected against electric shock.
We check accessible wiring at the switchboard, visible cabling runs and connection points for damage, ageing insulation, exposed conductors and non-compliant joins that can lead to arcing or fire.
We check the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms and note issues such as missing alarms, poor placement, or units that appear aged or unsuitable—important for safety and typical purchase expectations.
We note indicators of higher electrical demand (air-conditioning, ovens, cooktops, EV chargers, spa/pool equipment) and look for red flags like inadequate circuit protection, improvised wiring, or switchboard limitations that warrant an electrician’s review.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Yes. Many Rowville homes have had updates over time—extra power points, kitchen renovations, added air-conditioning or shed circuits. Those changes can introduce polarity errors, loose connections or circuits without modern RCD protection. An Electrical Safety Assessment helps identify these hazards early, so a licensed electrician can rectify issues before they become a shock risk, nuisance tripping, or an electrical fire hazard.
Our assessment is a safety-focused inspection and testing process designed to identify visible hazards, polarity issues and key protection gaps. A compliance certificate is issued by a licensed electrician after electrical work is completed and tested to the relevant standards. If we find defects or missing protection, you’ll typically need an electrician to complete rectifications and provide any required certification for the work.
Yes. We inspect the switchboard for visible safety concerns such as heat damage, ageing components, overcrowding and poor labelling, and we check whether safety switches are present and operating where accessible. If we identify older-style protection, missing RCD coverage, or signs of deterioration, we’ll recommend prompt review by a licensed electrician to reduce shock and fire risk.
Outdoor and shed circuits can be exposed to moisture, heat and physical damage, and they’re sometimes added long after the original home was built. Common concerns include inadequate RCD protection, weather-exposed connections, damaged cabling, and improvised extensions from existing circuits that weren’t designed for the extra load. We focus on accessible checks and testing to flag these risks for an electrician to rectify properly.
We check for the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms and note issues that commonly affect safety, such as missing alarms, unsuitable locations, or units that appear aged. While functional testing and replacement is typically handled by the owner or an electrician, our assessment highlights gaps so you can upgrade alarms promptly and improve safety before occupancy, especially in bedrooms and hallway areas.
