Book an Electrical Safety Check in Prahran

As a rental provider in Prahran, electrical safety compliance is an obligation you can’t afford to overlook. Victoria’s 2023 rental minimum standards are clear, and Compliance Fixer is here to ensure you meet every one of them. Our licensed and registered electricians handle the entire process professionally and efficiently.

Every inspection is carried out in accordance with Section 4 of AS/NZS 3019 “Electrical Installations – Periodic Assessment” and checks all installations against AS/NZS 3000, covering:

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

Following each inspection, we deliver clear photographic reports with actionable recommendations. Where minor issues are identified, we’ll resolve them on the spot free of charge.

Comprehensive Gas Safety Inspections

From stoves and hot water systems to heating appliances, gas appliances are still widely used across Melbourne. This is even despite the state’s push to phase it out. The current legislation around gas is as follows: all rental properties must have gas appliances tested at least once every two years.

A licensed and registered gas technician will perform:

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

After these safety checks are complete, we send you a report that’s both easy-to-read and easy to understand. Should you have more queries, our team will be more than happy to run you through any of the findings.
