What we check
Switchboard condition and protection, safety switch operation and trip times, earthing, visual and tested condition of sockets, switches and fittings, and obvious wiring defects, tested to the standard the regulations require.
The 13 October 2026 deadline
Until now, the two-yearly electrical safety check has only applied to rental agreements started or renewed since March 2021. From 13 October 2026 it applies to every Victorian rental agreement — including long-running tenancies that have never needed one. If a property has no documented check, it falls due the day the rule lands.

Landlords
We run rental safety checks across Frankston, Mornington, Langwarrin, Seaford and the wider Peninsula. One visit covers the electrical safety check and smoke alarm testing, with the compliance record emailed to you and your agent. Book ahead of October and skip the spring rush — capacity across the Peninsula will disappear fast once the deadline hits.

Property managers
Whole rent rolls come into scope on the same day. We do bulk scheduling across your portfolio, reports straight to your inbox, and fixed per-property pricing so owner approvals are one email. Ask us for a portfolio quote.

The gas side
Landlords need a gas safety check too, by a licensed gasfitter — that's a separate trade. We coordinate our electrical visit with a gasfitter we work alongside, so the property gets both records in one sweep.
Rental Safety Checks done properly
Victorian rental laws require two-yearly electrical safety checks by a licensed electrician, with records kept and provided to renters. The requirement currently applies to agreements entered into or renewed since 29 March 2021 — and from 13 October 2026 it applies to every Victorian rental agreement, regardless of when the tenancy started. We run these checks for landlords and property managers across Frankston and the Peninsula: a thorough inspection and test of the installation, switchboard, safety switches, wiring, sockets, fittings, with a clear written report your agent can file, and a fixed quote for any defects found so they can be approved and fixed fast.
Reports agents can actually use
You get compliance documentation naming the property, date, checks performed and results, formatted for the property file, not a scribbled invoice line.
Defects quoted immediately
If something fails, the report comes with a fixed quote for the fix. One approval email from the owner and it's scheduled, no second call-out fee to come back and quote.
Portfolio scheduling
Property managers: we'll take your rent roll and build a rolling two-year schedule so nothing lapses, with reminders handled by us rather than your inbox.

Straight answers
How often are electrical safety checks required for Victorian rentals?
At least every two years, by a licensed electrician, and the record must be provided to the renter. If a property's never had one documented, it's due now.
What happens if a check finds a problem?
Nothing scary, you get a written defect list with a fixed repair quote. Most common findings are missing safety switches, deteriorated fittings and non-compliant DIY additions from previous owners.
Do you also do the smoke alarm and gas checks?
We handle the electrical check and smoke alarm testing. Gas safety checks need a licensed gasfitter. We can recommend one we work alongside regularly so the property is covered in one sweep.
What does an electrical safety check for landlords cover?
Every circuit, the switchboard, safety switches, powerpoints, lighting and visible wiring, tested against the standard and documented in a compliance report you can hand to your agent or renter. Defects come back as a written list with a fixed repair quote.
How much does an electrical safety check cost in Victoria?
Ours are fixed-price for standard homes and units across Frankston and the Peninsula, with portfolio rates for agencies — call 0495 105 784 for the number. No call-out fee on quoted work, and the repair quote is fixed too.
Can you work directly with our property management agency?
Yes. We already work with local agencies: bulk scheduling, reports emailed straight to the PM, and owner approvals handled through them. Ask your agent to add us as a preferred trade.
