A visual electrical inspection checks the switchboard, RCD protection, wiring condition, power points, lighting and any obvious hazards. The electrician reports what's safe, what needs attention, and any urgent risks — useful before buying, after a renovation, or for an older home you're unsure about.
As a guide, a basic home electrical safety inspection in NZ runs roughly $150–$350 depending on the size of the home and the depth of the report. It's cheap insurance compared with the cost (or danger) of an undiscovered fault — and far less than an emergency call-out for something that could have been caught.
FAQ
