Electrical Safety Checks in Sunbury

How confident are you that your home’s electrical system is actually safe? If it has never been checked, or if your home is more than 20 years old, there is a real chance there are issues you are not aware of. Electrical faults are a leading cause of house fires in Australia, and the overwhelming majority of them are preventable.

Norris Electrical carries out thorough electrical safety checks for homes, rental properties, and businesses across Sunbury and surrounding areas. We inspect every accessible part of your electrical system, identify any safety concerns, and provide a written report along with a compliance certificate where applicable.

  • Switchboard and circuit breaker inspection
  • Safety switch testing and compliance check
  • Power point and wiring condition assessment
  • Earthing and bonding verification
  • Smoke alarm testing
  • Exterior wiring inspection

What We Check During a Safety Inspection

A thorough electrical safety check from Norris Electrical covers the following key areas:

  • Switchboard – Condition of the board, all circuit breakers, and testing of every safety switch.
  • Power points – All accessible power points checked for correct wiring, polarity, and physical condition.
  • Lighting circuits – Wiring and fittings inspected for signs of damage or deterioration.
  • Earthing system – Earthing and bonding of the electrical system verified.
  • Smoke alarms – Tested to confirm they are installed correctly and in working order.
  • Visual wiring inspection – All accessible wiring inspected for signs of degradation or unsafe installation.

When You Should Book an Electrical Safety Check

There are specific situations where an electrical safety check is particularly important. Norris Electrical recommends booking in the following circumstances:

  • Buying a home – Do not assume the electrical system is in good condition. A pre-purchase inspection can identify costly issues before you commit to settling.
  • Older homes – Homes more than 25 years old often have outdated wiring, ceramic fuse boards, or missing safety switches that need to be addressed.
  • Before or after renovations – Confirm your electrical system is safe before starting a renovation, and obtain a compliance certificate on completion.
  • Rental properties – Landlords have an obligation to ensure rental properties are electrically safe. An annual inspection is considered best practice.
  • Unexplained issues – Flickering lights, frequently tripping circuits, or power points that do not work are all signs something is wrong.

How We Conduct Your Electrical Safety Check

1.

Switchboard and safety switch inspection
We start at the switchboard, inspecting circuit breakers, checking for outdated components like ceramic fuses, and testing every safety switch to confirm it trips and resets correctly.

2.

Wiring and power point checks
All accessible wiring is visually inspected for deterioration, damage, or unsafe installation. Every accessible power point is tested for correct polarity and earth connection.

3.

Smoke alarms and lighting circuits
Smoke alarms are tested to confirm they are in working order and correctly positioned. Lighting circuits and accessible fittings are inspected for signs of damage or wear.

Report and certification
We provide a written report of all findings and recommendations. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued for compliant installations, and quotes are provided for any rectification work required.
