Initial Assessment and Site Walkthrough
Your electrician in Cairns will begin with a visual inspection of the property, identifying any visible hazards such as exposed wiring, damaged outlets or overloaded circuits. This walkthrough provides valuable context for the more detailed tests that follow.
Testing of Electrical Components
Next, our experts will test major components, including power points, lighting circuits, switchboards, safety switches (RCDs) and smoke alarms. These tests confirm that each element is functioning safely and in accordance with Australian Standards.
Switchboard and Wiring Inspection
Older switchboards are a common source of faults. During the inspection, our electrical Cairns team checks for outdated fuses, insufficient circuit protection and signs of overheating or wear. Wiring is also inspected for compliance and safety, particularly important in older buildings where degradation or outdated materials may be present.
Thermal Imaging and Load Testing (if required)
For commercial or high-risk sites, advanced diagnostic tools like thermal imaging may be used to identify hotspots, overloaded circuits or potential fire risks. Load testing ensures the electrical system can handle current and future demands.
Compliance Review and Safety Report
Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining any faults, hazards or areas for improvement. This report includes recommendations for urgent repairs or upgrades and verifies compliance with current electrical safety regulations.
