Maximum demand calculations for renovations
Adding a kitchen, ducted air, an EV charger or a granny flat changes how much power the property draws at peak. We calculate maximum demand against AS/NZS 3000 so you know if the existing supply and switchboard will cope.
If they will not, we set out the options — load management, a board upgrade, or a supply upgrade coordinated with a Level 2 ASP — before your builder locks in the plans.
Pre-purchase electrical inspections
A general building inspection rarely goes deep on electrics. We inspect the switchboard, safety switch coverage, visible wiring, earthing and smoke alarms, and give you a plain-English report with the issues ranked by urgency.
Landlord and property manager compliance
NSW rental laws require working smoke alarms, and landlords must keep electrical installations in a safe condition. We test and replace smoke alarms, check RCD operation, and provide records for your files.
- Smoke alarm testing and replacement
- Safety switch trip testing
- Visual safety inspection of the installation
- Written report for the property file
AS/NZS 3000 inspection reports
For insurers, strata committees or your own peace of mind, we test and report on an installation against AS/NZS 3000, listing any defects and the work needed to fix them.
Electrical Consulting & Compliance FAQs
What is a maximum demand calculation?
An estimate of the most power a property will draw at once. It shows whether your supply, mains and switchboard can safely handle new loads.
Do I need an electrical inspection before buying a house?
It is worth it for older homes, renovated homes, or any property with an old switchboard. Fixing problems after settlement can be expensive.
What smoke alarm rules apply to NSW rentals?
Working smoke alarms are required on every level. Landlords must check and repair them, and replace batteries or alarms as needed.
Can you help with strata or property portfolios?
Yes. We do inspections, compliance testing and reports for strata and property managers, and can schedule recurring checks.
