OUR SAFETY INSPECTION SERVICES

What GNM Checks & Certifies

Our licensed inspectors use professional test equipment to assess every element of your electrical installation.

Switchboard Inspection

Full assessment of your meter box and switchboard — checking circuit breaker ratings, RCD presence and function, wiring condition, labelling, and compliance with AS/NZS 3000.

Safety Switch (RCD) Testing

Burning plastic or electrical smells, or visible arcing — this is a fire risk. Do not delay. Call immediately.

Pre-Purchase Electrical Inspection

Comprehensive inspection of all visible wiring, power points, light fittings, and the switchboard — with a detailed written report covering faults, safety concerns, and recommended remedial work.

Certificate of Electrical Safety

Required for all licensed electrical work in NSW. We issue Certificates of Compliance for work we perform — and can arrange independent inspection and certification of existing work.

NSW rental properties require interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom and on every level. We supply, install, and certify to current NSW legislation — essential for landlords.

Commercial Electrical Audit

Workplace electrical safety inspection covering fixed installations, emergency lighting, exit signs, switchrooms, and test-and-tag for portable appliances. WHS Act compliant reporting.

Before leaving, the inspector walks you through their findings, explains what's safe, what needs attention, and provides an honest recommendation.

I had a new cooktop and a heat light exhaust fan installed and I’m very happy with the service provided. They arrived on time, explained the installation process clearly and completed everything efficiently and professionally. The cooktop was installed neatly and works perfectly. The heat light fan in the bathroom was also fitted with great attention to detail and it makes a big difference in ventilation and warmth. Everything was left clean and tidy after the work was finished. Overall, the workmanship was excellent and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing appliance or electrical installations.

Cameron was quick, professional, and very helpful. He responded quickly, came out the same day to inspect the issue, and clearly explained what the problem was with the main switch overheating. He replaced the faulty switch, fixed the wiring, and tested everything to make sure it was working properly. The work was done neatly and efficiently. The price was very reasonable and the whole process was smooth. Great service and highly recommended.

The whole experience was effortless from start to finish. They turned up when they said they would, worked neatly, stayed professional, and kept everything straightforward. No confusion, no delays, just solid workmanship and clear communication. The end result was exactly what I needed, and I walked away genuinely impressed. I’ll be bringing them back for future jobs without hesitation.
