Electricity is a wonderful servant, but must be treated with proper respect. Only an experienced professional eye can be trusted to detect the small signs of wear and tear that could potentially result in tragedy.
Proactive self checking
Everest Electrical advise that there are some basic self checks that home owners can take. These include checking for:
• Frayed cords.
• Incorrect bulbs in light fittings (low wattage can result in burn out and fires).
• Smoke alarms working properly.
• Outlets and switches – look for exposed wiring and overloaded power bars.
• Outdoor power points. Make sure that all outlets are properly weatherproof.
Of course, if in any doubt at all, we welcome your call to Everest Electrical to arrange a free safety inspection.
This in-depth free safety check will ensure that all of the above key areas are properly inspected as well as Safety Switches, Circuit Breakers, Switchboard, Asbestos Panels, Wiring, Earthing Systems, Water Pipe Bonds, Heat Hoods, Sub Floor Ventilation and Energy Efficiency.
Key Benefits of electrical safety inspections
• First and foremost, electrical safety inspections can help prevent fires. All too often it is found that house fires have been caused by faulty electrical wiring. A safety inspection can prevent this by identifying problems with wiring and circuits that would not be noticed until it is too late.
• Electricity is an unforgiving resource. Death or serious injury can often be caused by electric shock. Electric shocks are often caused by the use of small appliances plugged in to faulty power outlets. A safety inspection will identify if these potential risks are evident.
• Electrical safety inspections provide peace of mind for home owners. Knowing that your wiring has passed a safety inspection means that you can proceed with confidence when negotiating the sale of your home or considering major renovations.
• Improve electrical efficiency and reduce costs. Faulty wiring can drain electricity.
All being well, a safety inspection may reveal that your home is perfectly safe and that all wiring is in perfect working order – a great outcome. We invite you to call the Everest Electrical team today on 0410 229 139 to arrange your inspection.
