During a rental electrical safety inspection, we’ll perform a comprehensive audit of wiring, switchboards, safety switches and other electrical fixtures. We’ll check whether they’re installed properly and identify potential safety hazards. At the end of the electrical system evaluation, we’ll produce an electrical safety certificate that accords with AS/NZS 3019. According to the law, electrical safety checks should be performed in rental properties every 2 years.Â
During a gas safety inspection, we will use tests like a negative pressure test and a carbon monoxide test to ensure that all your gas fixtures and appliances are safe and fully operational. As laid out by AS/NZS 3019, we recommend you enlist the services of our licensed gas plumbers to carry out gas safety checks every 2 years.
Electric and gas safety inspections need to be carried out every 2 years by a licensed electrician or a gas plumber, respectively. Our licensed professionals will conduct checks on your electrical/gas equipment to identify faults, equipment in need of replacement and potential safety hazards. Owners of rental properties are required to receive a safety certificate at the end of these safety checks.Â
You can book a licensed electrician or gas plumber by scheduling an electrical or gas check on your rental property with Approved Electrix. To verify whether an electrician or a gas plumber/gasfitter is licensed, you can look up their details on the Energy Safe Victoria Website. Always ask your electrician/gas plumber for their name and license number before they start on a gas or electric inspection at your rental property.Â
Landlords need to have an electrical safety check conducted as soon as possible if an electrical safety audit hasn’t been carried out in more than two years. Failure to produce an electrical safety certificate may result in fines and other legal consequences.Â
Landlords are responsible for arranging rental electrical safety checks at least once every two years. They are also obliged to provide an electrical safety certificate to tenants within 7 days upon request.Â
Tenants are responsible for using electrical appliances in a safe manner and informing their landlords of any potential faults in writing so that the latter can arrange an electrical systems evaluation on the rental property.
