Dann's Electrical does electrical safety inspections across Penrith, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury, checking your switchboard, safety switches, wiring, earthing and smoke alarms. It suits older homes, rentals, sales and homes after storms. You get a plain-English rundown of what's urgent and what can wait, and a fixed price for anything that needs fixing.
Most wiring faults are hidden in the walls and ceiling until something trips, sparks or burns. An inspection tests what you can't see: the switchboard, safety switches, earthing, circuits and smoke alarms.
We explain what we find in plain English, tell you what's urgent and what can wait, and give you a fixed price for anything that needs fixing. Nothing is done without your OK.

Why inspections matter
Inspection triggers and risks from the NSW Government and NSW Fair Trading.
The NSW Government says if your home was built before the 1980s, you really should consider having it inspected.
NSW Government figures say up to 1,800 house fires each year could have been prevented by getting the wiring checked and having safety switches installed.
NSW Fair Trading says older types of wiring can become brittle and should not be handled. It needs checking by a licensed electrician.
NSW rules say an installation that has been disconnected for 6 months or more needs a safety inspection by a qualified electrician before it can be switched back on remotely.
The NSW Government says a rental condition report should note whether the safety switches are working, which can only be known if a test has been done.
The NSW Government says any electrical fault in a rental property, before or during a tenancy, would be considered an urgent repair.
Where we work
We check and test the switchboard, safety switches, earthing, circuits, powerpoints, light fittings and smoke alarms, and look for damaged or deteriorated wiring. Thermal imaging is available to find hot spots in the board.
NSW Government guidance doesn't set a fixed inspection interval for homes, including rentals. The NSW Government recommends an inspection for homes built before the 1980s, and it's worth doing when you buy, before renovating, between tenants and after storm or water damage.
If the power has been disconnected for 6 months or more, NSW rules require a safety inspection by a qualified electrician before it can be switched back on remotely. This often applies to vacant homes and deceased estates.
We explain it, tell you how urgent it is and give you a fixed price to fix it. If something is dangerous, we'll make it safe on the spot.
