Electrical Safety Inspections, Tests and Tag Joondalup

The electrical wiring of your home is discretely hidden inside the walls and ceiling of your home. It is out of sight and out of mind. The electrical wiring of your home silently and safely distributes very large amounts of power to all of the appliances and other devices that require power to make your life as convenient as it is. However, if neglected problems can develop that could result in shock injury of a family member, electrocution or even a fire that could destroy your home. According to the Institute of Electrical Inspection (IEI), electrical problems are the biggest source of property damage and fires in Australia. Even small electrical devices can cause injury or fires when connected to a faulty circuit or outlet. This sort of personal injury and fire damage is easily avoided by getting a qualified electrician to do periodic safety inspections of your home’s wiring.

What is an electrical home safety inspection?

An inspection of the electrical system of your home will include a very thorough examination of all of your home’s wiring, circuit breakers, breaker box, all outlets, switches and attached appliances. All of these items will be inspected closely to ensure that they comply with the National Electrical Code Australia (NECA), which is the building and safety code that provides guidance on all the electrical systems installed in any building in Australia. Andrew’s Perth Home Services has expert qualified electricians on duty who can perform these checks and repair any problems that are found. After the inspection is complete the electrician will make any recommendations for repairs or upgrades that need to be made if problems are found. The Electricians from Andrew’s Perth Home Services are qualified to do all sorts of electrical work ranging from minor wiring repairs to complete rewiring of your home.
