Why a Professional Inspection Matters
Electrical faults aren't always obvious, and the wrong diagnosis can leave the real problem unresolved. Here's why a licensed inspection matters:
- ✓ Correct fault diagnosis — tripping circuits and flickering lights can have several different causes; we test systematically rather than guessing
- ✓ Spotting hazards early — outdated or damaged wiring isn't always visible, and can be a fire or shock risk if left unchecked
- ✓ Safety switch verification — confirming safety switches are fitted and trip correctly is one of the most important checks in a home
- ✓ Clear, written findings — a proper report gives you a record of what was checked and what, if anything, needs fixing, not just a verbal opinion
- ✓ No unnecessary work — an honest inspection tells you what actually needs fixing, rather than upselling work that isn't required

Understanding Electrical Safety Inspections
A few basics that help explain what a safety inspection actually involves:
What Triggers a Fault-Finding Visit
Common signs worth investigating include circuits that trip repeatedly, flickering lights, warm switches or outlets, or a burning smell — none of these should be ignored.
Visual Inspection vs Testing
A visual inspection checks for visible wear or damage, while testing uses instruments to check things you can't see — such as whether a safety switch actually trips within the required time.
Safety Switches (RCDs)
Safety switches are designed to cut power quickly if a fault is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock. Testing confirms they're actually working, not just installed.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
A pre-purchase electrical inspection can flag wiring or switchboard issues before you commit to buying a property, similar to a building inspection but focused on the electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an electrical safety inspection?
We generally recommend an inspection every few years, or immediately if you notice tripping circuits, flickering lights or burning smells.
What does an electrical fault-finding visit involve?
We systematically test your circuits, switchboard and connected outlets to identify the source of the fault, then provide a clear explanation and quote for any repair needed.
Can you inspect a home before I buy it?
Yes, a pre-purchase electrical safety inspection can identify issues before you commit to a property.
What happens if you find a fault or hazard during the inspection?
We explain what we found in plain terms and provide a clear, itemised quote for any repair work. The inspection itself doesn't commit you to further work.
Do you check safety switches (RCDs) as part of an inspection?
Yes, testing that safety switches are fitted and trip correctly is a standard part of our safety inspections.
