Electrical Safety Compliance Checks....What's included?
Switchboard & Earthing
- Visual integrity check: enclosure IP rating, labelling, cable entry seals, asbestos warning plates.
- RCD/RCBO trip-time and push-button operation (AS/NZS 3760).
- Main switch isolation and phase balance.
- Earthing verification: MEN link continuity, earth electrode resistance, bonding to metallic services.
- Surge protection status
Fixed Wiring & Fittings
- Insulation resistance: megger test on every circuit .
- Polarity & loop impedance: random GPO and light-point sampling to confirm correct phase–neutral–earth arrangement and Ohms compliance.
- Thermal imaging sweep: detects overloaded conductors, loose terminals and hot joints. (If Applicable)
- Mechanical integrity: torque-check of switchboard terminals; visual inspection of cracked plates, missing screws, exposed conductors.
Hard-Wired Appliances & Safety Services
- Cooktops, ovens, rangehoods, exhaust fans, split-system isolators – leakage current, isolation point accessibility, correct cable size & protection.
- Bathroom 3-in-1 units, ceiling fans – secure mounting, switch location legality (zones), residual-current protection.
- Smoke alarms (electrical aspect): power supply integrity, green LED heartbeat, interconnection cabling where applicable.
Energy-Efficiency & Load Profile Review
Cooler & Safer – We show how hot a halogen bulb gets (very!) versus an LED (barely warm), so you understand the fire-safety and summer-cooling benefits.
Did you know? most LEDs use about 80 % less electricity.
Count Your Lights – We walk through the home, note every old-style bulb, and mark down what size replacement it needs.
