Avoid Electrical Malfunctions! Why Are Electrical Inspections Important For Your Home?

What, whether will be like

Avoid electrical malfunctions before it is too late!


The older the electrical system of your building, the more likely it is that it will have failures which increase the chances of situations that end up in severe accidents. 

Don’t wait until the last minute when an electrical failure occurs. Regular inspections will pay off in the long run. Think about it like this: the best way to save costs on electrical malfunctions is to catch them before they even happen.

Ausgrid recommends that customers arrange for regular safety checks of their existing or newly purchased home, especially where old wiring has deteriorated and become unsafe. Special attention should be paid to all the following aspects of existing installations:

  • Service neutral links and the customer’s active and neutral links
  • Overhead point of attachment including exposed consumers mains that are often prone to ultraviolet degradation
  • The structural integrity of private pole as (and other private poles)
  • Old hinged wooden switchboards
  • Obsolete service fuses
  • Old underground service termination boxes and old overhead mains connection boxes ​​​​​​
  • Private aerial mains, particularly bare mains in bush fire-prone areas​​​​​​

It is recommended that periodic checks be carried out on safety switches (every six months) and circuit breakers (every two years) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and Australian Standards. Any identified potential safety hazards associated with Ausgrid’s service mains should be referred to Ausgrid’s emergency services and we will carry out any necessary repairs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Top benefits of electrical inspections

In simple words, regular electrical commercial inspections performed by a reliable company will guarantee that your systems are always in good, safe working condition. In this way, the risk of fire and injuries like electrocutions can be avoided. That being said, regular inspections of your electrical systems are a necessity rather than a choice.

Save costs on electrical failures

When an electrical failure happens, there are additional costs and business delays that can set your business back significantly. Even worse, you can lose the whole building in a fire. Many unfortunate fires start with poorly maintained or outdated electrical systems. So, when it comes to the high costs of electrical failures, these inspections of your electrical systems in your building or Office Space are a worthwhile investment.

Alliance Climate Control has an Electrical Department to identify if there are any electrical risk conditions that you should be aware of.
