FAQ
Common questions.
What is included in a pre-purchase electrical inspection?
The agreed scope can include accessible switchboards, safety switches, circuit protection, outlets, lighting, visible wiring concerns and electrical fault symptoms. The inspection scope is confirmed before booking.
Is this the same as a building inspection?
No. This is an electrical condition inspection only. It is not a building, pest, structural, plumbing or gas inspection, and it does not advise on legal or property valuation matters.
Can you inspect a rental property?
Yes. Evaready can help landlords, property managers, owners and tenants with agreed electrical condition checks for rental properties across Sydney and surrounding regions.
Can you inspect an occupied property?
Yes, where safe access can be arranged. Access limits what can be checked, so agent, tenant or property-manager details should be provided before booking.
Do I receive a written report?
The agreed findings summary records visible and tested conditions, priority safety items and recommended next actions. Confirm the report format before booking. It is not a blanket compliance certificate or legal clearance for a sale or tenancy; required documentation for any separately completed electrical repair is a different matter.
Can you quote repairs found during the inspection?
Yes. If repair work is requested, Evaready can quote electrical repairs or further investigation after the inspection findings are explained.
Does the inspection find concealed wiring defects?
Not always. Concealed wiring, intermittent faults and inaccessible areas may require further investigation or invasive work. Findings apply to the conditions observed at the time.
What should I send before booking?
Send the property address, purpose, deadline, authorised access arrangements, known concerns and relevant previous reports. Only take photos from a safe position without opening covers or approaching damaged equipment.
What if there is an urgent electrical hazard?
Keep clear of unsafe equipment. For fire, smoke, serious electric shock or immediate danger, move to safety and call Triple Zero (000); seek medical assessment after any shock. Do not keep resetting tripping protection. Once everyone is safe, call for electrical advice rather than waiting for an inspection quote.
