Electrical installation and switchboard testing
n accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, Landlords and Agents are obligated to keep rented premises in a state of good repair. This includes ensuring that all electrical appliances provided by the Landlord are properly maintained and in safe working order. Evidence has shown that lack of appropriate maintenance on fixed electrical installations can lead to catastrophic events. Faulty installations present a serious risk of property damage, injury, and loss of life, therefore it is imperative for Landlords and Agents to ensure that potential electrical hazards are identified and rectified in order to minimize any risk and liability.
Canny Electrics can provide Landlords and Agents with an annual inspection test and assessment of the electrical switchboard to ensure its safe and complies with the new safety switch (RCD) requirements stated in the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2018) as well as a full test of all switches, fixed electrical appliances and electrical power points.

Older homes used to have fuse boxes. When the fuse would blow (usually at night), dad or mum would head out with the torch, pull the old fuse out of the box and re-thread the fuse wire before putting the fuse back into the fuse box (and hoping that the power would come back on).
The problem is old fuse boxes were not designed to cope with all the modern electrical appliances we use, so there is a real risk of fire or overloading your circuits.
If you have an old-style fuse box, it is time that your fuse box was retired and replaced with a safer more modern switchboard.
Canny Electrics Master Electricians can replace your fuse box in Victoria at a time that is convenient to you, with one that is safe and complies with new regulations, easy to use and does not need you to re-thread wires.
