MI Electrical Compliance will conduct a comprehensive and in-depth Electrical Safety & Compliance inspection at your home or properties you own and rent out.
We recommend that this inspection is performed every 2 years and we will assist in ensuring your property is compliant, especially now with the new changes to legislation that have came into effective as of January 2021 in Victoria, where every rental property in Victoria MUST have an electrical safety inspection, as we can assure you this will become legislation in Queensland.
