5 Reasons you should schedule an Electrical Inspection


Every building needs to have a regular electrical inspection to ensure the safety of your family and possessions. There are many reasons why you may need an inspection from the effects of time and the environment to the destructive influence of pests.

These are five reasons you should schedule an electrical inspection with your local electrician in Reedy Creek:

Buying a home or property

When you buy a home or other type of property you will want to be 100 percent sure that your new investment is safe. After all, it’s a huge decision and you will want to reduce any chance of buying a potential problem. Having a professional electrical inspection before you buy means you know the exact condition of the property and if any issues become apparent you can use this as a bargaining point to reduce the price to cover any costs.

Selling a Property

When selling a property you have to compete with all the other properties and sellers in your area. Having a professional electrical inspection will show prospective buyers that you have taken care of your property and addressed any potential electrical issues giving you an effective negotiating position.

Inspections for Established Homes

Many established homes and buildings need to have scheduled electrical inspection on a regular basis to ensure your family and property is safe and secure. Many climatic conditions can contribute to the breakdown of the internet wiring in buildings and unfortunately this cannot be seen as wiring is concealed. Any water entering your building from a leaky roof or the effects of wind induced movement can over time cause electrical failures.

Often the wiring in older homes was not designed for the large amount of gadgets most homes now use so it’s very common for circuits to be overloaded which can lead to a potential fire hazard.
Often older wiring, switches and fuse boxes need to be upgraded to meet with new requirements and safety issues

New Home Inspections

When you have a new home or other building constructed there is a normally warranty issued by the builder to cover any issues or repairs that need to be corrected. It’s very unlikely that your builder will contact you and tell you your warranty is about to expire and ask for any issues so they can fix them for you. This is the time you need to schedule an electrical inspection to catch any problems and have them repaired under your building warranty, before it expires.

Adding to your building

Whenever you make additions to your home or buildings, it’s important that you have the existing electrics inspected to ensure that your electrical system is able to cope with any additional loads on it that this will cause. At the same time you should ask your electricians in Reedy Creek to do a follow up inspection after the work is completed. This will ensure your home is safe.

Electrical fittings and associated circuitry are often subject to stresses from day to day use as well as from the environment. Wind and storms can cause buildings to move enough to cause problems with wiring that cannot be seen. Another major problem all around Queensland is pests that get in and disrupt wiring.
