An electrical safety check isn’t just a box to tick—it’s about keeping your home or business safe, compliant, and running smoothly. At Maxxvolt Electrical, we carry out thorough, honest inspections to uncover hidden hazards before they become serious problems.
Whether you’re buying, renting, renovating, or simply want peace of mind, we’ll make sure everything’s up to standard.
What’s Included in an Electrical Safety Check?
We conduct a full top-to-bottom inspection of your electrical system. This includes:
- Testing power points and light switches
- Checking switchboard condition and safety switches (RCDs)
- Inspecting wiring, fittings and connections
- Looking for signs of wear, damage or overheating
- Verifying smoke alarm placement and compliance
- Testing circuit breakers and fuses
- Identifying potential fire or shock hazards
All findings are clearly explained, and you’ll receive a report outlining any issues that need attention.
Who Needs an Electrical Safety Check?
Electrical systems age just like everything else. A safety check is a smart move if:
- You’ve just moved into an older property
- You’re a landlord or property manager
- You’re buying or selling a home
- Your power trips regularly or lights flicker
- You’re planning a renovation or extension
- You want peace of mind that your wiring is safe
For businesses, safety checks are especially important to meet workplace safety regulations and duty of care obligations.

FAQs
How often should I get an electrical safety check?
For most homes, every 5–10 years is recommended. For rental properties or commercial sites, more frequent checks may be required under safety regulations.
Is a safety check the same as a compliance certificate?
Not exactly. A safety check assesses the condition of your system, while a certificate is issued after electrical work. We’ll let you know if any compliance upgrades are needed.
How long does the inspection take?
Most checks take between 1–2 hours, depending on the size and condition of your property.
What happens if you find a serious issue?
We’ll explain the issue clearly and offer safe, compliant options for repair or upgrade. Nothing is done without your approval.
