In New South Wales, it is highly recommended to arrange an inspection before purchasing, especially for older homes.
These checks can reveal electrical issues that may not be visible but could lead to safety hazards or expensive repairs. At Assurance Electrical Inspections, we provide honest, independent reports that help you make informed decisions.
We do not offer repair work. That means our reports are unbiased and focused only on giving you clear answers. Our role is to help you understand the true condition of the electrical system without any pressure to spend more.
A home electrical inspection is a visual and diagnostic review of the electrical installation in a property. It covers the point of attachment, switchboard, wiring, sub-circuits, smoke alarms, power outlets, lighting, and major fixed appliances. We use modern testing equipment, including thermal imaging, to detect faults or areas of concern that cannot be seen by eye.
You will receive a detailed report with photos and clear explanations. The report highlights safe areas, identifies faults or damage, and confirms whether the system complies with current standards. All reports are kept on file in case you ever need a copy in the future.
Most buyers arrange building and pest inspections without hesitation. Electrical inspections are often forgotten, yet they are just as important. Electrical faults can be dangerous and expensive, and they are not always obvious.
A light switch might work fine, but the wiring behind it could be damaged or unsafe. Safety switches may be present but might not operate correctly when needed. These problems will only be found through a proper inspection carried out by a qualified professional.
In New South Wales, a home electrical inspection must be completed by a licensed or registered electrician. Some building inspectors may offer limited electrical checks as part of a general report, but this is not enough to properly assess the safety and compliance of the electrical system.
At Assurance Electrical Inspections, we work independently or in coordination with building and pest inspectors to make sure nothing is missed. We are fully licensed and experienced in both domestic and commercial installations.
The best time to arrange a home electrical inspection is before committing to a property. If you’re purchasing, it gives you the opportunity to raise concerns, request repairs, or walk away from a property that may not be safe. For landlords, regular inspections are a smart way to help protect tenants and reduce risk. If you already own your home, a safety check offers peace of mind and helps confirm that everything is in good working condition.
We start with a safety risk assessment. Then we inspect the point of attachment, the condition of the mains, and the connection type. At the switchboard, we check for fatigue, heat damage, and wiring quality using thermal imaging. Sub-circuit protection is tested to ensure it operates quickly and correctly.
We test the earthing system to confirm it can support proper circuit operation. Inside the home, we check the lights, switches, fans, power outlets, cooking appliances, hot water system, and smoke alarms. If there are any detached structures with sub-mains, we inspect and test those as well.
Everything is documented in a detailed report with photographs and recommendations. We also store your report in case you need to access it later.
When faults go unnoticed, they often lead to major repair costs. A damaged switchboard or poor earthing might pass a quick glance but fail under pressure. After purchase, those problems become your responsibility.
