What Is an Electrical Safety Inspection?

An electrical safety inspection is a detailed check of your property’s electrical system to identify faults, damage and potential safety risks. This is done directly by our electrical inspectors, is great in addition to ongoing electrical maintenance.

Unlike calling an electrician because something has already stopped working, an inspection takes a broader look at the condition and safety of your electrical installation. Depending on the property and inspection scope, this can include your switchboard, safety switches, wiring, power points, lighting circuits, smoke alarms and other electrical components.

Our electricians combine visual inspection with appropriate electrical testing to identify issues such as damaged or faulty wiring, loose connections, inadequate RCD protection, ageing components and other problems that may increase the risk of electric shock, electrical fire or unexpected faults.

Once the inspection is complete, we’ll explain what we’ve found in plain English and let you know if any repairs or electrical work should be considered.

electrical needs, 24/7.

What’s Included in an Electrical Safety Inspection?

Every property is different, so the exact inspection scope will depend on your home, its age and the condition of the electrical system. Our electricians can inspect and test the key electrical components throughout your property to identify faults, damage and potential safety risks.

An electrical safety inspection may include checks of:

Switchboard & Circuit Breakers

Your switchboard is a key part of your home’s electrical system. We can check the condition of the switchboard, circuit breakers and other components for signs of damage, deterioration or older equipment that may need further attention.

RCD Safety Switches

Residual current devices (RCDs) are designed to quickly disconnect power when certain electrical faults are detected, helping reduce the risk of electric shock. We can inspect and test your RCD safety switches to make sure they’re operating correctly and identify where further attention may be required.

Power Points & Light Switches

Damaged, loose or warm power points shouldn’t be ignored. We’ll look for visible damage, heat discolouration, loose fittings and other warning signs around power outlets and light switches.

Wiring & Electrical Connections

Problems with wiring aren’t always visible during day-to-day use. Where accessible wiring can be inspected within the scope of the job, we can assess its condition and look for signs of deterioration, damage, loose connections or other electrical faults.

Lighting & Electrical Circuits

We can check power and lighting circuits, light fittings and associated electrical components for faults or signs of damage. If you’ve been experiencing flickering lights, repeated tripping or other unusual electrical behaviour, let us know before the inspection so we can investigate it.

Smoke Alarms

Working smoke alarms are an important part of keeping your home safe and free of house fires. We can check the condition and operation of installed smoke alarms (including photoelectric smoke alarms) and identify units that may need attention or replacement.

Earthing & Electrical Testing

Where required, our electricians can carry out appropriate electrical testing to assess the safety of the installation and investigate potential faults. This may include checks relating to the earthing system and other electrical safety measures within the property. For most homes, we assess using our own electrical inspection report.

Common Electrical Safety Problems We Look For

Electrical faults can develop gradually, and many aren’t obvious until something starts tripping, overheating or stops working altogether. An electrical safety inspection can help identify potential problems earlier and determine whether further testing or repairs are needed.

Some of the common issues we look for include:

  • Faulty or ageing wiring – damaged or deteriorating wiring that may need repair or replacement.

  • Loose connections – connections that have become loose or damaged over time and may cause heat or intermittent faults.

  • Overloaded circuits – circuits carrying more electrical load than they were designed to handle.

  • Older switchboards and ceramic fuses – older electrical systems may not have the same protection found in modern switchboards with circuit breakers and RCDs.

  • Damaged or warm power points – heat, discolouration, cracking or unusual smells around a power outlet can indicate a problem.

  • Flickering lights – particularly when the issue is persistent or affects multiple light fittings or circuits.

  • RCD and safety switch issues – including safety switches that fail testing or don’t operate as expected. We help you meet rcd regulations and achieve full rcd compliance.

  • Damaged electrical components – including switches, fittings and other accessible parts of the electrical installation showing signs of wear or damage.

If you’ve noticed burning smells, buzzing, repeated circuit trips, warm power points, flickering lights or other unusual electrical behaviour, don’t wait for your next routine inspection. Have the problem checked by a licensed electrician.

When Should You Book an Electrical Safety Inspection?

You don’t need to wait for something to stop working before having your home’s electrical system checked. A professional electrical inspection can be worthwhile whenever you’re unsure about the condition or safety of the electrical installation. If you’re unsure whether you need a full electrical safety inspection or just need a specific fault investigated, give our team a call. We can talk through what’s happening and recommend the most appropriate service.

You may want to book an inspection if:

You’re buying a property

A pre-purchase electrical inspection can help identify electrical faults or ageing components before you move in.

You live in an older home

Older properties may still have ageing wiring, ceramic fuses, older switchboards or limited RCD protection.

You’re planning renovations

It’s useful to understand the condition of the existing electrical system before adding new appliances, circuits or electrical work.

Your safety switches keep tripping

Repeated tripping can indicate an electrical fault that needs investigation.

You’ve noticed warning signs

Flickering lights, buzzing, burning smells, warm power points or discoloured switches are all worth having checked.

You’ve recently purchased a home

If the property’s electrical history is unclear, an inspection can give you a better understanding of what you’re working with.

Pre-Purchase Electrical Inspections in Perth

Buying a home is a big investment, but the property’s electrical system isn’t always something you can properly assess during a standard viewing.

A pre-purchase electrical inspection can provide a closer look at the condition of accessible electrical components before you buy. Depending on the property and inspection scope, this may uncover issues with wiring, the switchboard, safety switches, power points, lighting circuits or other parts of the electrical installation.

If problems are identified, you’ll have a clearer understanding of any necessary repairs or upgrades that may need to be considered.

RCD & Safety Switch Testing

RCDs, commonly known as safety switches, are designed to quickly cut the power when they detect certain electrical faults. They’re an important part of protecting people in your home from electric shock.

During an electrical safety inspection, our electricians can check your RCD safety switches and test their operation to identify any that aren’t working as expected. We can also assess the existing RCD protection within your electrical system and let you know if anything requires further attention.

If a safety switch is faulty or your switchboard requires additional protection, our licensed electricians can explain the issue and recommend the appropriate repairs or upgrades.

What if my safety switch keeps tripping?

A safety switch that repeatedly trips shouldn’t simply be reset and ignored. It may be responding to a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, moisture or another electrical fault somewhere on the circuit.

If you can’t identify an obvious cause, Pure Electrical & Air can carry out electrical testing and fault finding to help locate the problem and determine what needs to be repaired.

Why Electrical Safety Inspections Matter

Electrical problems can be easy to overlook until they cause a noticeable fault. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues earlier, giving you the opportunity to address them before they develop into more serious safety or reliability problems.

A professional electrical safety inspection can help:

Reduce electrical safety risks

by identifying faulty wiring, damaged components and other potential hazards.

Identify potential fire risks

such as overheating components, loose connections and overloaded circuits.

Reduce the risk of electric shock

by checking safety switches, RCD protection and other parts of the electrical system.

Find ageing electrical components

that may need repair, replacement or upgrading.

Give you a clearer picture of your home's electrical system

particularly when buying an older property or planning renovations.

Catch problems earlier

before an electrical fault becomes a larger or more expensive repair.

Electrical safety inspections aren’t about finding problems for the sake of it. Our job is to give you a clear understanding of the condition of your electrical system, explain anything that needs attention and help you decide what to do next.

Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs

The exact inspection scope will depend on your property and why you’re having it inspected. It may include checks of your switchboard, circuit breakers, RCD safety switches, wiring, power points, light switches, lighting circuits, smoke alarms, earthing and other accessible electrical components. Your electrician may also carry out electrical testing where appropriate.

The cost of an electrical safety inspection can vary depending on the property, the inspection scope and any additional testing required. Contact Pure Electrical & Air with some information about your property and what you’d like checked, and we can advise you on pricing before booking.

It depends on the size and condition of the property and the type of inspection being carried out. A larger or older home, or a property where specific electrical faults need investigating, may require more time than a straightforward safety inspection.

There isn’t one inspection schedule that’s appropriate for every home. The age of the property, condition of the electrical installation, previous electrical work and any warning signs you’ve noticed can all affect when an inspection makes sense. If you’re unsure, our electricians can advise you based on your property.

A pre-purchase electrical inspection can be worthwhile if you want a better understanding of a property’s electrical system before or around the time you purchase it. It can help identify issues such as ageing electrical components, faulty wiring, switchboard concerns or other electrical faults that may require further attention.

Common warning signs can include frequently tripping safety switches or circuit breakers, flickering lights, buzzing or crackling sounds, burning smells, discoloured switches and unusually warm power points. If something doesn’t seem right, it’s safer to have it investigated rather than repeatedly resetting a circuit or ignoring the problem.

RCD safety switches can be inspected and tested as part of the appropriate electrical safety work. If an RCD isn’t operating correctly, your electrician can explain the problem and recommend the appropriate next step.

An electrical inspection can involve visually assessing the condition of electrical components and looking for signs of damage or deterioration. Electrical testing uses appropriate testing equipment to assess aspects of the electrical installation that can’t necessarily be determined through visual inspection alone. Depending on the inspection scope, both may be used.

We’ll explain what we’ve found, why it’s a concern and what we recommend doing about it. If electrical repairs or upgrades are required, we can provide pricing for the additional work and complete the repairs if you’d like us to.

Yes. Pure Electrical & Air provides a broad range of residential electrical services, so in many cases we can carry out the necessary repairs or upgrades after identifying the problem. We’ll discuss the work and pricing with you before proceeding.
