- We must all remember that electrical equipment and products do not last forever, and they are usually older than we think.
- We find most people are surprised to learn that in the most cases a fuse board has not been installed for over 30 years and offers little or no real protection against electric shocks and electrocution within their electrical installation.
- We come across people being unaware that the electrical installation is their responsibility to keep in a safe and sound condition.
- Also that some people presume that the supply authority did more than just change their electricity meter to a smart meter and are surprised to hear that they do nothing to your electrical switchboard which is yours and your responsibility.
- Of course it is not always possible to make major changes straight away, so at least have a safety inspection to service and check regularly for problems such as – heat damage, hot spots, cable terminations, loosening of connections and damages to gear and equipment. This can then assist to reduce the risks of faults, electrical fires, electric shocks, electrocutions and loss of electrical supply to your property.
If you ask an electrician what the first thing they do when they purchase an existing property, they usually answer Test and then Upgrade the electrical switch board to today’s standards of safety and compliance to achieve peace of mind and safety.

The Clean Energy Council of Australia (CEC) accreditation requirements, guidelines and guidance notes for solar PV installations to claim the installation money under the REC scheme run by The Energy Regulator of Australia.
- Electrical Power Authorities (companies) and Energy Retailers
  There are Power Authorities (companies) and power Retailers with the difference being the retailers are only involved in billing customers and therefore arranging metering appointments to be conducted by the supply authority contractors, whereas the power companies are to do with the owning and managing the electrical supply network.
  
  These are City Power, Ausnet, Powercor, Jemena and United Energy.
  All these companies have faults and emergencies numbers when required.
  
  The electrical supply and new connection requirements for all new or existing premises should be directed to the customer’s energy retailer through the correct and appropriate paperwork such as an electrical works request form (EWR). This is then followed up by phone calls for checking on the paper work and a phone call from the customer to open a new account when required.
  
  A Certificate of electrical safety (COES) or commonly referred to as a CES may be required at the same time or later depending on the electrical situation and works involved.
  
  We can help and assist with filling out of the paper work and advising on which electricity retailer to use to enable a quick and hassle free new connection arrangement and we recommend using email to submit forms.
- Exemptions to rules and regulations
  You can apply to Energy Safe Victoria for an exemption in some cases.
  
  A standard exemption can be for a minor alteration to a rule, standard installation practices and is usually obtained through Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) by applying to them, with a just and sound case for an exemption to a rule.
  
  Certain criteria would then be placed on the installation work to adhere to.
  - There are also exemptions that can be granted by Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) for different situations such as reinstating electrical supply after a fault with private poles and then being allowed time to move the overhead supply to an underground mains supply. This is obviously dependent on a lot of situations and variations so please call me to discuss and then seek further advice and an exemption with ESV.
  - In exceptional situations there is also a part 1 solution for an installation where an exemption is granted by Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) before commencement of a job, to therefore only meet all the fundamental principles and requirements of part 1 of AS/NZS 3000:2007 and not all the other specific requirements of the rest of the parts of the standard.
  Please Contact us to discuss examples of these.
  
  Contact us today on 1300 353 246 or e-mail us at info@electricalinspector.com.au or complete our online enquiry form on our contact page.
- Certificates of electrical safety (COES)
  All electrical work requires a certificate of electrical safety (COES) to be issued at various stages of work such as at ruff in stage of the wiring or at the completion of works to enable energization to the electrical supply the electrical installation or part thereof.
  
  There are three types, of certificates of electrical safety for electrical installation works.
  - A prescribed certificate which always involves our licensed electrical inspectors completing an electrical inspection on site.
  - A non-prescribed certificate for works that do not require an inspection and are classed as standard non-prescribed work.
  - A periodic certificate of electrical safety which is a certificate for larger and longer electrical installation works that can cover several months or a year and enables works to be recorded on different days and over the period of the job, to list all the electrical installation work.
  - In some situations parts of a prescribed installation work can be non-prescribed installation work when only one component is replaced (repaired) due to a fault condition with its equivalent same part with no alterations. Please call to discuss before doing the work so as we can make sure the work you are doing does come into this category and we then do not need to attend site for the non-prescribed work.
  - Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 3000:2007 states that extra-low voltage is a voltage not exceeding 50 volts AC or 120 volts ripple-free DC. Low voltage is a voltage exceeding extra-low voltage but not exceeding 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. Extra-low voltage electrical wiring work internal and external to buildings do not require a CES to be given. All wiring installed within a building must still adhere to all standards and requirements of electrical wiring systems.
  Contact us today on 1300 353 246 or e-mail us at info@electricalinspector.com.au or complete our online enquiry form on our contact page.
- When signing a certificate of electrical safety, it states
  
  I, the licensed electrical installation worker named above, who carried out the electrical installation work described above, certify that the electrical work has passed all the required tests and complies in all respects with the Electricity Safety Act 1998 and the Electricity Safety (Installations) Regulations 2009.
  
  This also means that the work complies too all appropriate Australian and New Zealand standards, requirements, acts and codes such as, but not limited to AS/NZS 3000:2007.
  
  You are signing a legal document stating all these facts and that you have successfully conducted all your required and mandatory tests for each installation.
  
  We understand this takes a little bit of time to conduct all the required tests at the end of an electrical installation or service job, but we see no reason why the costs of installing, testing and supplying of a certificate of electrical safety are not divided up in the quote or invoice for the customer to see. This would enable you to explain issues such as electrical installation safety, licencing, your insurance requirements and their home or building insurance requirements to do with all electrical work being carried out at the premises.
  
  Safety of each person and property is always paramount and can only be assured with complete and proper installation and testing methods by licensed electricians and registered electrical contractors. We can assist with training and testing techniques and practices to improve your skills, speed and understanding of all your requirements in relation to the signing of a certificate of electrical safety.
