Top Electrical Inspection and Testing related questions

Not necessarily. Your electrician can bring their electrical inspecting and testing kit. The electrical testing instruments will depend on the specific services you need. Although usually, electricians use multimeters, voltage detectors, battery and testing, megger, and ground resistance test set. In case you require special testing tools, you can indicate this when putting up your task as well.

When it comes to electrical inspections, it's best to hire experts with extensive experience in handling all sorts of electrical systems. Before accepting their offers, make sure to inquire for relevant licenses and certificates. You can also utilise our transparent system to review their profile and work history. Check the feedback they've earned from previous tasks so you can get a better look at the quality of their service.

The duration depends on the exact inclusions of the service needed. You'll need to consider the size of your property, the number of electrical circuits and wires to be tested, and the available testing equipment. Most of the time, it takes roughly 3-4 hours, but more complex inspection and testing can take longer as well.

It's best to get a periodic inspection every 3-5 years. For older houses, you might want to get your electrical systems checked at least every two years, or whenever needed. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician to know the ideal inspection interval. In case you encounter circuit breaker issues, failing outlets and light switches, and other emergencies, you can also book a Tasker for an immediate electrical diagnosis. They can come to your house right away to identify the root source of the problem and recommend the appropriate fixes.

Yes. For extra safety and good measure, make sure to coordinate only with qualified electric repair experts. They can replace wiring and cables from your electrical box, fix faulty safety switches, light and lamp cables, and phone line sockets. You can also hire them for alterations, electrical upgrades, and new equipment installations.

Aside from electrical inspection and testing, you can also book Taskers for all sorts of property maintenance services. They can help clean your property, fix minor or major plumbing issues, install solar panels, and get rid of unwanted pests and rodents. Just make sure to indicate what kind of service you need when putting up your task.

What do electrical inspection and testing services include?

Electric testers and test light electricians know their way to almost any type of electrical system. You can hire them for commercial or domestic electrical testing, and ensure that the circuits are operational and safe to use. They follow a set of inspection and testing processes that are compliant to the industry standards. And with the use of appropriate test equipment, they can also identify hidden leaks and damages that are not as visible.

Electrical installation testing and inspecting

Electricians inspect the quality, durability, and safety of various electric equipment before doing any installation. They check for any damages or defects and verify if the materials are compliant with local standards. If the electrical systems are already mounted on your walls or ceilings, Taskers can examine them before covering them with your insulation. 

The process involves reviewing the general circuitry, GFCI and AFCI protection, electrical boxes and their switch heights, and cable wiring methods. If needed, they can also provide electrical wire listing and labelling.

Final electrical safety check

It’s always wise to get a final electrical inspection before you occupy a new space. Once the walls and ceilings are finally covered and painted, you can book an expert electrician to visit the site for one last electrical safety test. They can verify if the wires, cables, light and electrical fixtures are secured, hung, and mounted to places. Plus, they can also check if they are efficiently bonded and connected to their appropriate sources.

Periodic inspection and testing

Every electrical installation ages and weakens over time. Whatever the reason, you can avoid potential accidents by booking a periodic electrical inspection service. Doing so can help you monitor the condition of your existing cables, wirings, and electrical boxes. The process involves a series of tests, including:

  • inspection of insulation resistance
  • continuity of conductors
  • earth fault loop impedance
  • electrical leads and residual current devices (RCDs)

The purpose is to identify potential risks that could compromise your safety in the long run. Some crucial things to look out for are overloaded electrical circuits, possible fire and shock hazards, and poor earthing and bonding. After the service, your sparky can provide a detailed inspection report with suggested repairs in case defects are found.
