What We Cover

What an Electrical Safety Inspection Covers

Ampy's electrical safety inspection covers the key elements that affect the safety and compliance of your home's electrical installation.

Switchboard Condition

We inspect the switchboard enclosure, breakers, safety switches, wiring condition inside the board, and earthing. Old fuse boards, missing safety switches, and overloaded circuits are all flagged in the report.

Safety Switch Coverage

We check every circuit to determine whether it has individual RCBO protection. Missing or inadequate safety switch coverage is one of the most common findings in older Victorian homes.

Wiring Condition

Where accessible, we inspect the condition of existing wiring. Older homes in Bendigo may have cloth or rubber-insulated wiring that has reached the end of its safe life.

Power Points and Switches

We check visible power points and switches for damage, incorrect wiring, or safety concerns. Loose fittings and damaged outlets are flagged.

Smoke Alarm Compliance

We check that smoke alarms are present and in the correct locations per Victorian regulations. Where required, we can install or replace smoke alarms as part of the same visit.

Written Report

Every inspection comes with a written report covering all findings. Items are categorised by urgency so you know what needs attention now and what can wait.

What We Inspect

Common Findings in Bendigo Homes

These are the most common issues Ampy finds during electrical safety inspections in the Bendigo area.

Missing safety switch protection

About this

Risk levelHigh
FixRCBO installation on affected circuits
UrgencyShould be addressed promptly
Note: Many homes built before 2000 have no safety switch protection on power point or lighting circuits. This is a significant safety gap.

What this means

  • Power point and lighting circuits with no RCBO protection are common in pre-2000 homes.
  • A fault on an unprotected circuit can deliver a fatal shock before any breaker trips.
  • Ampy can install RCBOs on all unprotected circuits as part of the same visit where possible.
Old fuse board

About this

Risk levelHigh
FixFull switchboard upgrade
UrgencyUpgrade strongly recommended
Note: Ceramic fuse boards have no safety switch function, cannot handle modern loads, and are increasingly flagged by insurers.

What this means

  • No safety switch protection of any kind. A person fault on any circuit will not trip the fuses fast enough.
  • Cannot handle modern electrical loads and often have no spare capacity for new circuits.
  • Increasingly flagged by home insurers as a risk factor.
