Before you ring around

The safety inspection worries buyers and landlords raise.

“We're buying an older place and don't know what's behind the walls.”

We test every circuit, not just look. Rubber coated wiring and old ceramic fuse boards end up on the report.

“The insurer wants a report they can actually read.”

Written in AS/NZS 3019 periodic verification wording, set out for insurers, agents and conveyancers.

“I manage rentals and need proof they're safe.”

Rental compliance certificates for property managers, plus RCD push button testing schedules.

“I'm worried you'll find something, then push a big job.”

Each fix is itemised as a fixed price quote. Accept it, decline it, or take it to another sparkie.

“We had a storm, and now something doesn't feel right.”

We test the circuits and isolate anything genuinely dangerous on the spot, with your permission.

“Last time all I got was a tick box sheet.”

A written report with photos and a defect priority list: safety, compliance, recommended.

How it goes

From the switchboard test to a report you can act on.

Five steps. 1.5 to 3 hours of instrument testing for a typical 3 to 4 bedroom home, then a written report within 48 hours.

  1. Illustrative: electrician pressing a safety switch test button while chatting with the homeowner
    Step 01 · Switchboard and RCDs
    Step 1 · Board

    Safety inspection starts at the switchboard and RCDs.

    We check the switchboard's condition and labelling, then test every RCD, so you know which circuits have safety switch cover.

    • Board condition
    • Labelling
    • RCD coverage and test
    • Old ceramic fuse boards end up on the report.
    • Meter integrity is checked while we're at the board.
    • This is instrument testing, not a visual walkaround.
  2. Illustrative: electrician testing a power point and chatting with the homeowner
    Step 02 · Every circuit
    Step 2 · Circuits

    Polarity and earth loop tested on every inspected circuit.

    Polarity and earth loop on every circuit, plus insulation resistance. We talk you through what we find as we go.

    • Polarity
    • Earth loop
    • Insulation resistance
    • Bonding on wet areas and visible cable condition are checked too.
    • Any DIY work that isn't compliant gets picked up.
    • Older homes often hide rubber coated wiring a visual walkthrough won't catch.
  3. Illustrative: electrician on a step ladder showing an older homeowner the back of an old smoke alarm
    Step 03 · Smoke alarms
    Step 3 · Alarms

    Inspection check on smoke alarm age and placement.

    We check where your smoke alarms are and how old they are, on every level of the home.

    • Every level
    • Placement
    • Alarm age
    • So you know every level is covered.
    • It goes on the written report with everything else.
  4. Illustrative: Electripol electrician talking through inspection findings with a couple at their kitchen table
    Step 04 · Verbal summary
    Step 4 · Summary

    Inspection findings talked through before we leave.

    Before we leave, we tell you what's safe, what's urgent, and what's just nice to have.

    • Same day summary
    • Urgent items first
    • No fearmongering
    • Anything genuinely dangerous is isolated on the spot, with your permission.
    • No pressure, no fearmongering.

    Step 05 · Written report
    Step 5 · Report

    A written inspection report with photos within 48 hours.

    A PDF with photos, a defect priority list (safety, compliance, recommended) and fixed price quotes for each fix.

    • Photos
    • Defect priority list
    • Fixed price fixes
    • Set out for property managers, insurance assessors and conveyancers.
    • AS/NZS 3019 periodic verification wording, so there's no ambiguity.
    • Accept the quote, decline it, or take it to another sparkie.

Jeremy and his team went above and beyond, switched our heating to a cheaper tariff, timed our hot water, and recommended a heat pump that cut our heating costs by 30%. Family-first, energy-smart, and genuinely local.
