What Is The Periodic Inspection?
A periodic inspection consists of a thorough process conducted by trained electrical technicians to monitor the status and quality of electrics in the building to determine if the space is safe and if any hazards or dangers are present.
During Working Hours?
The most efficient time for periodic inspections is before or after business hours, as the process will involve having the power off for prolonged periods of time. We also offer weekend inspections for businesses who are unable to accommodate testing between Monday-Friday.
How Long Does It Take?
Inspections are typically completed within 2 to 8 hours depending on the size and electrics of the space and or building. For example, an office floor can take up to 2 hours, so a 3 storey inspection would require a full evening (approx. 6 hours), while a 2 bedroom home or flat would typically be completed within 2 hours. As these times are estimates based on previous work experience, we recommend contacting us for an accurate estimate to reflect your needs.
