Home Safety Inspection from a Melbourne Electrician
According to the law, all domestic homes must be in accordance with the Wiring Rules, Electrical Installations Regulations and the Electricity Safety Act. The importance of a home safety inspection is to prevent electrical malfunction and deterioration that may cause unnecessary dangers in your home. Such incidents may occur for any number of reasons such as amateur electrical work that is defective, hazards due to the electric installation from an under-qualified Melbourne electrician, overloaded circuits or equipment or failure to have sufficient bonding or earthing. These are all of the areas a qualified Melbourne electrician will be able to easily recognize during a certified home safety inspection.
Top Melbourne Electrician HSI Recommendations
Whether you performed a perfect DIY electrical repair job or you hired a professional, electrical installations inevitably deteriorate over time. For this reason, it is recommended to take a proactive approach when it comes to a home safety inspection. Your local Melbourne electrician should recommend that you complete a home safety inspection every five years, at least. They should also recommend that you schedule an HSI if the wiring has become old, if the house is more than 25 years old, if you were unsure whether the equipment was installed properly or if you intend to sell your home or buy a home.
What to Expect from a Melbourne Electrician HSI
A top Melbourne electrician will speak with you before the home safety inspection begins to explain the process in great detail. They should inform you that the electricity may have to be shut off for some time while they perform various tests. They will also visually examine the work of the installation. If they do find concerns, an exceptional Melbourne electrician will attempt to make repairs on the spot. If such concerns are unable to be repaired, the power will remain turned off until it can be restored to a safe condition. Once you receive your HSI certificate a few days after the inspection, the certificate will show that your installation is either unsafe, safe requiring remedial work or safe. The certificate will also include the electrician who performed the HSI, any inspection limitations during the process, the location of the HSI, any remedial tasks to be completed and more.
