Old wiring? Tripping circuits? Or just want peace of mind? Copper Fox Electrical helps Melbourne homeowners stay protected with detailed electrical safety inspections that detect fire hazards, outdated cabling, and overloaded switchboards. Ideal for families, rentals, or elderly parents, it’s how you stay safe and up to code.
Safety
Melbourne homes are a mix of old weatherboards, post-war builds, and modern renovations. That’s a recipe for hidden wiring issues if no one’s checked behind the walls in years.
Here’s why electrical safety checks aren’t optional:
Insurance compliance for rental and homeowner policies
Insurance compliance for rental and homeowner policies
Protecting kids and the elderly from shocks or faulty outlets
Peace of mind during renovations or property sales
Compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and current safety switch regulations
Services
Every electrical safety check we carry out across Melbourne follows Australian Standards and includes a full report or quote with clear recommendations, so you know exactly where you stand:
We inspect the condition, layout, and safety compliance of your switchboard to check whether it’s outdated, overloaded, or legally up to scratch for supporting today’s power-hungry appliances.
Each breaker and safety switch is tested to confirm it trips correctly and quickly under fault conditions, reducing the risk of electric shock or fire during power surges or wiring faults.
Copper Fox Electrical check every accessible switch and power point for signs of wear, loose wiring, heat damage, or poor connections that could pose a risk to you or your family.
Our team tests each smoke alarm for battery health, expiry dates, and proper installation, including whether they’re hardwired, interconnected, and positioned correctly to meet current fire safety laws.
We look for early warning signs like burnt outlets, buzzing switches, or scorch marks that may indicate hidden arcing or overheating behind the walls or ceiling cavities.
We verify proper earthing and bonding in key areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor zones, checking for any safety issues around metal taps, sinks, or fixtures exposed to water.
All visible wiring is assessed for age, insulation breakdown, rodent damage, and outdated materials that are still surprisingly common in older Melbourne homes and renovations.
We inspect garden lighting, external sockets, spa wiring, and wet-area power points to make sure they’re RCD-protected, weather-sealed, and safe to use in all conditions.
Each circuit is reviewed to see how much demand it’s handling, and we’ll flag any signs of imbalance, overloading, or risk of nuisance tripping from too many appliances running at once.
We check if your home has adequate surge protection installed and recommend upgrades if needed, especially for homes with solar panels or sensitive tech like TVs, fridges, and computers.
Noticing these signs? It could mean there’s a fault behind the wall. Book a check before it becomes a bigger issue:
Could signal loose wiring or voltage fluctuations from overloaded circuits.
Often caused by faulty appliances, moisture, or deteriorated wiring.
A hum or buzz usually means arcing or overheating, don’t ignore it.
Overloaded outlets or loose connections can lead to fire risk.
A burnt smell suggests insulation damage or wiring breakdown.
Loose wiring or internal damage needs immediate attention.
Likely to have outdated cabling, switchboards, or no safety switches.
Faults are often missed during inspections or renovations.
Safety checks help meet landlord obligations and prevent liability.
The team at Copper Fox Electrical spot issues early, before they spark damage, fires, or insurance problems.
