Safety & Compliance questions, answered
How often do Victorian rental properties need an electrical safety check?
Every two years, under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021. The rental provider must keep a record of the check and provide it to the renter on request — we supply compliant documentation for your records and your agent's.
What does an electrical safety inspection include?
We inspect and test the switchboard, RCDs (safety switches), wiring condition, earthing, power points and smoke alarms, then issue a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take 1–2 hours on site, and you'll have the written report within the week — usually sooner.
What happens if you find a problem?
Nothing happens without your say-so. The report classifies each issue by urgency, and if you'd like it fixed we provide a fixed-price remediation quote. There's no obligation to use us for the repairs.
