What types of properties do you inspect in Elwood?

We inspect everything from older homes with gas appliances to high-density apartment buildings. Each inspection is tailored to the property’s specific compliance needs.

How do inspections work in high-rise or high-density developments?

Our team coordinates lift bookings, access permissions, and resident communications to ensure inspections run smoothly while checking all electrical and safety systems.

Are smoke alarms included in every inspection?

All alarms are tested for functionality, battery health is checked, placement is verified, and units nearing the end of their service life are replaced if necessary.

Do tenants need to be home during inspections?

No. As long as we have access, inspections can proceed whether tenants are present or not.

How frequently must electrical safety checks be performed?

Victorian rental regulations require full electrical inspections every two years.

What happens if a serious safety issue is discovered?

Minor issues can often be fixed immediately. For more significant problems, we provide a detailed report with recommendations for remediation. This is also done in a traffic-light style approach, where issues are ranked by their urgency.

Can multiple properties be inspected in a single visit?

Yes. We can coordinate multiple properties efficiently, providing consolidated documentation for each.

How quickly are certificates provided?

Audit-ready compliance documentation is issued promptly after each inspection, giving landlords immediate proof of compliance. All documentation meets compliance with the Residential Tenancies compliance standards.

Elwood Electrical Safety Checks for Rental Compliance

Electrical safety is one of the most important obligations facing rental providers in Elwood today. Victoria’s 2023 rental minimum standards set out clear requirements. Non-compliance is not an option. Compliance Fixer’s licensed and registered electricians take care of everything, making the process as smooth as possible for landlords, tenants, and property managers alike.

Conducted in line with Section 4 of AS/NZS 3019 “Electrical Installations – Periodic Assessment” and assessed against AS/NZS 3000, each inspection includes:

Safety switch and circuit functionality testing
Switchboard inspection for loose wiring, gaps, and dislodged switches
Main earth system and point-of-attachment testing
Every light, power point, and appliance verified safe and operational
Carbon monoxide testing for gas-electric appliances

Clear, photo-backed reports are issued after every inspection, and minor faults are commonly resolved on the day at no additional charge.
