Gas and Electrical Safety Check Brunswick

When it comes to rental safety, due diligence isn’t a step you can afford to ignore. A loose electrical connection, a failing gas appliance, or a smoke alarm with a flat battery can quickly turn into something far more complicated, and bring serious consequences to the rental provider. The good news? All of this is preventable with a proper safety check.

At Compliance Fixer, we’ve inspected over 50,000 properties across Melbourne, helping rental providers stay compliant and avoid unnecessary risk. From switchboards to gas appliances and smoke alarms, we carry out thorough inspections that meet Victorian rental standards.

We’re the team that handles every property with genuine care. Give us a call and organise a gas and electrical safety check in Brunswick.

All-in-One Rental Safety Checks for Brunswick Properties

Brunswick has a unique mix of older homes, shop fronts, renovated terraces, and newer developments. Although every property type has its own compliance risks, many of the same issues apply across the board. Older wiring, ageing gas heaters, or outdated switchboards are just some of common issues we’ve regularly spotted over the years.

The question is; is it really worth the headache of chasing up multiple compliance companies all at once?

At Compliance Fixer, we offer complete smoke alarm, gas, and electrical safety checks together. This means only one point of contact, one person to follow up with, and nothing short of fully documented compliance.

Nothing gets rushed, and nothing gets overlooked. Booking is also straightforward, and we use a 7-point system that keeps you informed every step of the way!

Extensive Gas Safety Inspections

Gas safety is not something to leave to chance. Undetected leaks and faulty appliances can put tenants at real risk, particularly in enclosed spaces.

Our gas safety checks include:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) testing to protect tenant health
• Gas Appliance Servicing (Legal Requirement) as per AS 4575
• Gas Installation Inspection against AS/NZS 5601 gas installation standards
• Assessment of gas hot water systems and cooktops
• Extensive inspection of all gas fittings and connections
• Gas main consumer line leak and Pressure retention test
• Verification of proper ventilation for gas heating systems
• Negative pressure testing for gas appliances

We understand compliance timelines matter, so our reports are issued to you as soon as possible. They are easy to read and clearly lay out all the work that our experts have done.

Electrical Safety Checks in the Brunswick Area

From March 2023, the Victorian government has mandated that all rental properties must have compliant switchboards fitted with circuit breakers and functioning safety switches (RCDs). Many Brunswick properties, particularly older homes, require careful assessment to ensure they meet current standards.

Our licensed and registered electricians assess:

• Switchboard compliance and RCD functionality
• Electrical circuit integrity throughout the property
• Safety of all power points and switches
• Condition of visible wiring
• Signs of overheating, wear, or previous incorrect modifications
• If small issues can be safely resolved on-site, we’ll take care of them immediately.
