Inspections explained

Everybody knows that appliances wear out over a long period of time, but most people just assume that the wiring within their home is in a safe condition, why would they think otherwise, everything is working just like it always has done. The answer may be yes it is working, but this does not mean it is safe. Over time we have invented more and more appliances and older installations were simply not designed to cope with the new demand, in your average house wired in the 1960's just one single socket and one light was fitted in each room, compare that to today when on average we fit around 3 double sockets, ceiling and possibly wall lighting in each room.

The type of wire used in older installations was insulated by rubber, paper or cotton; this insulation will have over a period of time degraded and possibly in some cases become detached from the conductor causing a serious fire/electrocution risk.

The purpose of an inspection is to check all of the wiring within your home is safe and identify any things that could cause a possible problem in the future.
