Why Every Home Needs an Electrical Safety Check—Especially If You Have Kids
Recently, I visited a family home in Melbourne to carry out a routine electrical safety check. Kids were running around, toys scattered on the floor, the usual warm chaos of a busy household.
At first glance, everything looked fine. But what we uncovered told a different story.
Behind the walls, the wiring was starting to crumble. The switchboard was outdated and at risk of overload. Smoke alarms failed to respond during a live test—giving a false sense of security. There were no safety switches. Several installations weren’t compliant with current standards.
Understandably, the homeowners were shocked. They had no idea—and they’re not alone.
Most people only find out something’s wrong when there’s a spark… or worse.
Why Electrical Safety Checks Matter
A lot can hide behind your walls—especially in older homes or ones with DIY renovations. An electrical safety check can:
Identify hidden faults before they become dangerous
Ensure your switchboard and smoke alarms are up to standard
Help protect your family—especially young children—from unseen risks
Give you peace of mind knowing your home is safe and compliant
When Should You Get One?
If you’re moving into a new home
If it’s been over 5 years since your last check
If you’ve noticed cracked switches, flickering lights, or DIY wiring
