Yes. Any installations, alterations, or rewiring typically require a building permit and safety inspection according to Victorian regulations. We coordinate all compliance and certification for you.
5. How long do I have to get electrical work inspected?
Under Victoria’s Electrical Safety regulations, any prescribed electrical installation work must be inspected by a licensed electrical inspector (LEI) within 8 business days after completion—and before reconnection to the supply.
6. What's included in a Switchboard upgrade?
We assess your panel capacity, upgrade circuits or meter boards if needed, test safety devices (RCDs/MCBs), and ensure full compliance with current standards. All work is followed by post-installation certification.
7. Do you install EV charging units?
Yes. We handle the full installation process—site assessment, panel upgrade if needed, installation of compliant charging stations, testing, and certification.
8. Why is my light flickering or switch hot?
Flickering lights may indicate loose bulbs, incompatible dimmer-switch combos, or overloaded circuits. A hot switch often signals faulty wiring—a potential fire hazard. In either case, please get in touch promptly.

Watch for visual signs such as dark marks, scorch stains, a burning or smoky smell, or sparking. These symptoms can indicate dangerous overheating—contact us immediately.
