This is for the new changes to the Residential Tenancies Act in Victoria.
I was told "Gas and electrical safety checks must be conducted every two years by a licensed/registered electrician and if gas is connected to the premises a gasfitter is required"
Can someone recommend qualified people to do this please? My agent said they will have a regular program like the smoke alarm maintenance scheme, but I am afraid it will be expensive. What is a reasonable price for this job?
Thanks in advance.
I would wait until you see the pricing first. Electrical safety test would be 30 mins but expect them to bill you for the hour. Tradies cost $800+ per day so $100 minimum. There might be an industry that will pop up to fill this need.
In the UK you can get gas check and 2 appliances serviced for $120 and that is all that company does. Certification for landlords.
I believe smoke alarms I have seen is like $99.
