Why Electrical Safety Inspections Matter (And What We Look For)
Electrical problems aren’t always visible — in fact, most homeowners have no idea what’s hiding in their switchboard, roof space, or power points. That’s why we include a basic electrical safety inspection on almost every job we attend. It’s quick, it’s smart, and it’s all in the interest of your safety.
⚡ Why Safety Inspections Are Important
Most faults don’t show themselves until:
A breaker trips constantly
Something burns out
Or worse — someone gets a shock
Just because the lights turn on doesn’t mean everything behind the scenes is safe.
A quick check could uncover:
Overloaded circuits
Loose connections
Non-compliant wiring
Old fuse boxes with no RCBOs
Exposed cables in the roof or shed
Dodgy DIY jobs from previous owners
🧠 Most Customers Don’t Know What to Look For
Unless you're in the trade, it’s hard to know if what you’ve got is dangerous or not.
That’s where we come in. We’re trained to spot early warning signs, especially in older homes across Craigmore, Gawler, Elizabeth, and the Barossa.
🔎 What We Do on Site
When we attend your home for a job (even just to install a fan or downlights), we automatically check a few key safety points:
Switchboard layout & age
Safety switch (RCBO) protection
Visual wiring condition in accessible roof spaces
Signs of overload, arcing, or damage
Proper earthing and bonding
Clarity of labelling and compliance
It takes us just a few minutes, and it can reveal a lot.
📸 What Happens If We Find an Issue?
If we see something that looks like a serious concern:
We’ll take a photo and show you on-site — no scare tactics.
We explain clearly what the issue is and how it could affect you.
We offer to quote for repairs or an upgrade — but only if you want us to.
There’s no pressure. No obligation. Just transparency.
✅ It’s All About Keeping You Safe
This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s what we’d want if someone was working on our home.
Electrical faults are silent until they’re not — and by then, it can be too late.
We believe every customer should:
Know what condition their electrical system is in
Understand the risks
Be given clear options with photos to back it up
That’s what good service looks like.
