Victoria's rental laws require electrical safety checks every two years. Voltra Electrical carries out rental electrical safety checks across Melbourne — written reports for property managers, work orders welcome, smoke alarm coordination available.
Under Victoria's Residential Tenancies Act, rental properties must have an electrical safety check carried out by a licensed electrician at least once every two years. The check must be documented, and the written report must be kept by the landlord or property manager. Voltra Electrical carries out rental electrical safety checks across Melbourne suburbs, providing written reports suitable for your property management records and compliance documentation. Our checks cover the switchboard and circuit protection, all visible cabling and connections, powerpoints and switches, earthing and bonding, smoke alarms, and any other electrical components we can safely assess. We work directly with property managers and landlords, accept work orders, and can coordinate access with tenants. If we identify any issues during the check, we'll provide a clear quote for rectification work — no pressure, just honest advice. All inspection work is carried out by our licensed electrician (REC: 37324).
Victoria's 2-yearly electrical safety check requirement for rental properties came into effect in 2021 as part of the Residential Tenancies Regulations. The requirement applies to all rental properties — houses, units, and apartments — and the check must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The written report must be kept for at least three years and provided to the tenant on request. At Voltra Electrical, we understand that property managers need a sparky who's easy to work with — one who turns up on time, communicates clearly, provides documentation in a usable format, and doesn't create unnecessary drama with tenants. That's exactly how we operate. Our rental safety checks cover everything required under the regulations: switchboard inspection (safety switches, circuit breakers, condition of the board), visible cabling assessment, testing of all powerpoints and switches, earthing and bonding checks, RCD trip time testing, and smoke alarm testing and compliance check. We provide a written report detailing what was inspected, any issues found, and our recommendations. If rectification work is required, we'll quote it separately and carry it out at a time that suits you and the tenant. For property managers with multiple properties, we can schedule checks across your portfolio and provide consolidated reporting. We also offer smoke alarm compliance checks and replacements as part of the same visit, saving you the cost of a separate trade callout. If you're a landlord or property manager looking for a reliable electrician for rental compliance work across Melbourne, call us on 0413 421 667 or email info@voltraelectrical.com.au.
