Mandatory Rental Electrical Checks Every 2 Years: What You Need to Know

If you’re a rental provider in Victoria, you’re required by law to have a comprehensive electrical safety inspection carried out on your property every two years. But just because it’s mandatory doesn’t mean it has to be expensive or wrapped up in complicated annual plans.

At TEIGE Electrical, we complete detailed, no-nonsense inspections that meet all legal requirements (and a little bit more for piece of mind) — without locking you into ongoing costs or charging for things you don’t need. We cover a wide area of south-west Victoria, including:

Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, Dartmoor, Casterton, Macarthur, Hamilton, Mortlake, Terang, Noorat, Camperdown, Derrinallum, Allansford, Koroit, Timboon, and Cobden.

Why It’s Required

Under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021, rental providers must ensure their property’s electrical installation is inspected by a licensed electrician every 2 years. This check includes:

  • Visual inspection of accessible electrical fittings and equipment
  • Testing of safety switches (RCDs)
  • Assessment of the installation’s condition and safety compliance with minimal testing

Landlords are also required to provide evidence of this inspection to tenants or property managers on request.

What Makes TEIGE Electrical Different?

We’re not in the business of box-ticking or blanket pricing. When you book with TEIGE Electrical, you get:

  • A thorough, itemised inspection with over 220 individual points of detail
  • Honest reporting that separates critical safety issues from minor observations
  • Reports you can actually understand — not technical jargon or scare tactics
  • Straightforward pricing, with no contracts or hidden add-ons

We’re committed to genuine electrical safety, not subscription-based services with fluff.

Why We Don’t Push Annual Pricing Plans

Some competitors offer annual “convenience” plans, claiming to spread out the cost or include bonus services. But here’s the reality:

  • You’re paying yearly for a service required only every two years
  • You may be paying in advance for repairs or products you don’t need
  • “Included” services often have terms, exclusions, or catch-up fees

At TEIGE Electrical, we believe in honesty and simplicity. We charge you only when the work is due — not every year for the sake of it.

Real Value. Real Safety. No Nonsense.

By cutting the gimmicks and keeping the focus on genuine safety compliance, we’re often more affordable than the competition. You get:

  • A compliant, professional inspection
  • Clear documentation for your legal records
  • Real advice and experienced electricians
  • Local service you can rely on — no call centres or fine print
