Whether you have noticed a problem, are planning a renovation or want an older property reviewed, we help you understand your electrical system. We review accessible equipment, investigate concerns and explain recommended repairs and improvements before work begins.

01 · REVIEW

Electrical safety assessments

A review of accessible wiring, receptacles, switches and panel equipment, with the scope agreed for your property and concerns.

02 · INVESTIGATE

Fault finding & repairs

Investigation of recurring breaker trips, flickering lights, damaged devices and other symptoms that deserve professional attention.

03 · PROTECT

Protective devices

Review of GFCI protection to help reduce shock risk, and appropriate arc-fault protection. We explain suitable upgrades for the installation.

04 · MODERNIZE

Older wiring & equipment

Practical options for deteriorated wiring, damaged connections, aging panels and electrical work of uncertain history.

05 · PLAN

Capacity & circuit needs

Review electrical demand before adding appliances, equipment or EV charging. We help determine whether circuits, load management or service changes are needed.

06 · CORRECT

Deficiencies & follow-up

Discuss identified concerns, establish repair priorities and coordinate required ESA notifications and inspections for the electrical work.

Know the warning signs

Small changes deserve
your attention.

Heat, damage or unusual smells

Burning smells, discoloured outlets or damaged switches can indicate a serious problem. Stop using affected equipment and arrange professional help.

Repeated interruptions

Breakers that trip repeatedly, persistent flickering or unusual buzzing should be investigated. Do not keep resetting a breaker without addressing the cause.

Shocks or tingling

A shock or tingling sensation from electrical equipment is a warning sign. Stop using the equipment and have the problem assessed.

Smoke, fire or immediate danger?

Leave the area and call 911 from a safe location. Do not touch damaged equipment or use water on an electrical fire. This enquiry page is not an emergency response service.

Common questions

Electrical safety, explained.

Is a safety assessment the same as an ESA inspection?

No. A contractor’s assessment reviews the agreed scope and identifies concerns. ESA inspections and notifications are separate processes. We can explain which process applies to your planned work or documentation request.

Does an older electrical panel automatically need replacement?

No. Age alone does not determine the solution. The condition, suitability, capacity and findings of an assessment guide the recommendation.

Should I arrange a review before adding an EV charger or major appliance?

Yes. Discuss the new equipment with a licensed electrical contractor before installation so the available capacity and circuit requirements can be reviewed.

Can you check every wire behind a finished wall?

An assessment is limited by its agreed scope and access. Concealed wiring cannot always be inspected without additional investigation or opening finishes. We explain limitations and recommended next steps.

For independent guidance, visit the Electrical Safety Authority’s assessment guidance and ESFI’s electrical warning signs.
