Defect Notice Rectification
What is an Electrical Defect Notice?
An electrical defect notice is an official warning issued by your electricity supply authority, such as Ausgrid, when your electrical installations do not meet specific safety standards. These notices typically result from routine inspections or reported issues and can highlight a variety of concerns, such as faulty wiring, inadequate clearance of trees around power lines, or improperly grounded electrical systems. These notices are a call to action to prevent possible dangers like electrical fires or system failures.

Understanding Your Electrical Defect Notice
Ignoring a defect notice can lead to severe consequences, including potential power disconnection and significant safety risks. Prompt action not only protects your property but also ensures the safety of its occupants, preventing potential accidents and legal issues. These notices typically require action within 21 days, emphasising the importance of rectifying the identified faults swiftly. Common issues cited in defect notices include:
- Faulty or outdated wiring
Wiring that does not comply with current electrical codes can pose serious risks, including fire and electrocution. - Incorrect installation or malfunctioning of electrical components
This includes issues like improperly installed switches or faulty circuit breakers which could lead to electrical failures. - Overhead lines that are too low
Low-hanging wires not only pose a danger to tall vehicles but also present a risk of electrocution if they come into contact with people or objects. - Overgrown vegetation near electrical infrastructure
Trees and bushes that encroach on power lines can cause disruptions and are a significant fire risk during stormy or windy conditions. - Damaged or deteriorated equipment like power poles and switchboards
Compromised equipment can lead to unstable power delivery and increased risk of accidents.
By addressing these issues, High Demand Electrical ensures that your property meets all safety standards, thereby avoiding the potential for more severe consequences down the line.
