Yes – our licensed electricians use specialised testing such as earth continuity tests, insulation resistance tests and polarity checks, as well as visual inspection, to detect issues you may never notice – like poor earth connections or wiring faults that could cause shocks or fires. We don’t just look at what’s visible; we test the systems to ensure everything is functioning safely beneath the surface.
Electricians generally need access to all power points, switches, smoke alarms and the switchboard so we can test each outlet and circuit. Make sure furniture or obstacles are moved so all areas are reachable. Clear access to your switchboard is especially important. A typical safety check takes 1-2 hours depending on your home’s size and complexity.
An electrical safety check typically involves a comprehensive visual inspection and testing of your switchboard, wiring, safety switches (RCDs), power outlets, smoke alarms and other accessible electrical installations to make sure they are safe and compliant with regulations. Our licensed electricians at Statewide Sparkies use industry-standard testing protocols to ensure your home meets current safety standards and identifies any potential hazards.
For rental properties in Victoria, an electrical safety check must be carried out every two years as part of compliance with tenancy and electrical safety regulations. For owner-occupied homes, we recommend a safety inspection every 5-10 years, or sooner if you notice any electrical issues, have an older switchboard, or are planning renovations. Statewide Sparkies can advise on the best schedule for your property.
If our electrician identifies unsafe conditions or non-compliant equipment, we will explain the issue and recommend repairs or upgrades. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings and recommended actions. In rental situations, the landlord must address those safety issues within the required timeframe. For owner-occupied homes, you can decide on timing, and Statewide Sparkies is here to handle any repairs needed – backed by our lifetime warranty on workmanship and 100% satisfaction guarantee.
