If you have the old fuse based setup, switchboard upgrades are required to be completed by March 2023 on rental properties, new switchboard's components include main switches as well as an array of different sized RCDs that provides earth leak protection as well as overcurrent protection by detecting and interrupting the electrical flow in such events

Firecaulk is rated to withstand high temperature for a predetermined amount of time, it is filled in holes that leads out of the switchboard, the caulk are there to fill the holes so that if a fire starts inside the switchboard it does not spread easily.

Improper wiring with exposed copper present a danger to service personnel and users alike, we will refit or rewire the sections where wiring rules are not adhered to and adjust and remake as nessecery

Earth tag attached to the earth rod is an essential safety feature, it there is an earth leak with any of the devices that are attached to the electrical circuit and a user touches the earth rod at the same time, electrocution could occur, an earth warning tag is required by law as per electrical wiring rules AS3000

Switchboard must have labels written in place for all of its switches indicating such services for example Lighting, oven, aircon, etc as per wiring rules AS3000

Main switch (in fact all switches) must be suitable sized only for the cable that’s carrying the electrical capacity, eg a 16mm sized cable is not rated for 80A current, therefore if currently there Is an 80A mainswitch (CB), it must be derated accordingly so that when the cable is at capacity, ie 63A, the switch will shut off when current reaches above 63A, otherwise if the switch remain on 80A, the wire will burn up before the actual switch trips due to the wires carrying through 80A when its only suppose to carry 63A.

Some switchboards already have safety switches in place but new requirements require that they be changed to RCD/RCBO, this is required for all (but the aircon and oven circuit provided theyre directly hardwired into the switchboard and not via an isolator)

Earth rods need to be driven into the ground 1.2m deep leaving it 20cm exposed above ground, earth provides an outlet for renegade current to escape from as a path of least resistance.

If earth continuity is not detected, repairs are required to run earth cable to the GPO.

cracked, altered, loose powerpoints are in violation of AS3000 wiring rules and must be made safe ASAP

cracked, altered, loose light switches are in violation of AS3000 wiring rules and must be made safe ASAP

Architrave switches are just like normal power switches except theyre much thinner designed to be placed on door frames, architraves, skirting boards, theyre also alot more costly than regular switches, cracked, altered, loose architraves switches are in violation of AS3000 wiring rules and must be made safe ASAP

an isolator might be installed near an electrical outlet or for a particular appliance to allow someone to easily turn off the power to a particular appliance without having to unplug it, such as an oven or an air con unit

replace light dimmer with generic leading edge/trailing edge/universal light dimmers, premium LED dimmers are also available for extra cost.

If the home was build 1st Aug 1997, 240v smoke alarms are required, to install a new 240v smoke alarm requires cabling to be run to the ceiling location of where the alarm is to be placed, usually from the nearest smoke alarm or the closest availalable safe circuirtry.

replace existing exhaust fan like for like with generic 200mm/250mm extraction fans

LED lights come in all types, they go through model upgrades regularly too, although said to be designed for many many hours of usage, the truth is theyre anything but, the issue comes from all lights exhibit different light outputs in terms of light angle, colour rendering index, colour temperature and power intensity, it is almost impossible to find the exact same light of the make and model to suit so the closest available models thats currently available in the market is used for replacements, meaning that there will be subtle diffrences in how the replacements light/s would look compared to the rest/original set of lights.

Replacement using generic branded LED floodlight, these can include a sensor for extra cost

strictly limited to replacing like for like with closest available match, fitment not guaranteed and could incur extra cost from the visitation of a cabinet maker, just because the generic sizing is the same, ie 60cm, the dimensions of the design are still diffrent and may not be compatible with the older type, thus the requirement of a cabinet maker to make adjutstment before fitment can be completed by the electrician.

Gas regulator needs to be in an accessible position close to gas cooking device, in order to adjust the pressure as required

A chain or anti tilt device that’s screwed in to the floor and/or studs to prevent the tilting or falling of the upright gas appliance, using either generic compatible chain or generic compatible floor based anti tilt brackets.
