Electrical safety testing of general power outlets (GPOs) and residual current devices (RCDs) is a critical safety check for any Inner West property — particularly the area's older housing stock where original wiring may be aging, ungrounded or non-compliant. Inner West Property Inspections provides comprehensive GPO safety testing and certification.
Inner West Sydney has a significant proportion of older properties with original electrical wiring — some dating to the 1950s, 60s and 70s. This aging infrastructure presents genuine fire and electrocution risks. RCD (safety switch) protection, which became mandatory in newer properties, is frequently absent or inadequate in older Inner West homes.
For landlords, electrical safety testing is a critical aspect of duty of care to tenants. For buyers, identifying electrical deficiencies before purchase avoids inheriting an expensive compliance upgrade.
NSW is moving toward mandatory electrical safety checks for rental properties. Regardless of legal requirements, electrical safety testing is a fundamental duty of care obligation for landlords — particularly in older Inner West properties.
We conduct independent safety testing and reporting. Electrical repairs and upgrades must be carried out by a licensed electrician — we can recommend trusted local electricians if issues are identified.
