The problems
What homeowners run into, and what we do about it.
The problem
The bill is bigger than the price you were given.
What we do
You know the price before we start. Common jobs have a fixed price, including GST. Anything larger is quoted after a look, and the total is agreed before work begins.
The problem
You are selling, or making a claim, and the certificate cannot be found.
What we do
For the work we do, the certificates, photographs and test results are kept in the Electrical Record for your home, so they are there when a buyer or an insurer asks.
The problem
The last owner changed things, and nobody knows what is behind the wall.
What we do
We cannot tell you what was done before us. From our first visit on, photographs are taken before the covers go on and every job is written down.
The problem
You are buying a house, and want to know the state of the electrics.
What we do
A safety check with a written report looks at the electrics. A licensed electrician checks the home and tells you, in plain words, what is in order and what is not.
WorkSafe advises keeping your Certificate of Compliance in a safe place, because it may be required for an insurance claim or when you sell your home.Source: Getting electrical work done, WorkSafe
