FAQs
By ensuring your property is inspected by High Demand Electrical, you are taking a significant step towards securing its safety and enhancing its efficiency. Reach out today to learn more about how we can assist you in maintaining a safe and compliant electrical environment.
A pre-purchase electrical inspection carried out by High Demand Electrical covers the full visible electrical installation of the property, including the switchboard and circuit protection devices, wiring condition and compliance, power points, light fittings, earthing and bonding, smoke alarm placement, and any visible defects or safety hazards. Where applicable, we also assess the condition of any solar systems, air conditioning circuits, and hot water connections. You receive a written report detailing our findings and any recommended rectification works.
Electrical defects discovered after settlement can range from minor issues costing a few hundred dollars through to major rectification works involving full rewires, switchboard replacements, or consumer mains upgrades that can cost several thousand dollars. A pre-purchase electrical inspection gives you an accurate picture of the property's electrical condition before you commit, allowing you to negotiate on price, request rectification from the vendor, or factor repair costs into your purchase decision.
The best time to book a pre-purchase electrical inspection is during your cooling-off period or as a condition of your offer, before contracts are exchanged. This gives you time to review the report, seek repair quotes if needed, and make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase. High Demand Electrical provides fast turnaround on pre-purchase inspection reports across Sydney to fit within typical conveyancing timeframes.
Typically $250–$450 depending on property size, age and access. We provide a fixed, upfront quote before booking.
Many pre-1980s homes still contain vintage VIR or TPS wiring, which degrades over time and carries higher fire and shock risk — often invisible without a proper inspection of the switchboard and roof space.
Yes. Our Level 2 electricians can quote and complete any recommended repairs directly, from switchboard upgrades to a full rewire.
Testimonials
"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.
When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.
