Introduction
Whether you’re buying, renting, renovating, or just ensuring your home is up to standard, an electrical safety inspection is one of the smartest decisions you can make. At Handcock Electrical, we offer comprehensive inspections to protect your family, property, and investments; ensuring peace of mind and compliance with WA regulations.
Why Electrical Inspections Matter
An electrical system that appears to “work fine” may still have hidden issues such as:
- Aged or deteriorating wiring
- Loose connections or water ingress
- Faulty safety switches or smoke alarms
- Overloaded circuits due to modern appliances
Left undetected, these faults can result in electrocution, fires, or major damage; and often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
When Should You Get an Inspection?
- Before buying or selling a home
- When renting or leasing your property
- After storm damage or flooding
- During renovations or additions
- If your switchboard hasn’t been checked in 5+ years
