The home electrical safety inspection price in Brisbane at Faze Electrical & Airconditioning starts from $295. That covers a licensed electrician testing the safety switches and circuits, checking the switchboard, power points and smoke alarms, and a written report. Any repair the report lists is quoted separately, as a fixed price in writing, so you decide what happens next.
The quick answer
- A home electrical safety inspection (we call it a safety audit) starts from $295.
- It includes safety switch testing, circuit testing, a switchboard check, power points, smoke alarms and a written report.
- Repairs aren’t in the price. They’re quoted separately, fixed in writing, and the quote is free.
- Our earlier free inspection offer has ended.
How much is a home electrical safety inspection in Brisbane?
Our residential safety audit starts from $295. The final price depends on the size of the home and its switchboard, and we confirm it before we book.
Three phase homes and larger switchboards take longer, so they’re quoted. The service itself is described on our electrical safety inspection Brisbane page.
What the price covers
A licensed electrician tests the installation as well as looking at it. These are the checks listed on our service page.
| Check | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Safety switch (RCD) testing | Whether each safety switch trips when it should |
| Insulation resistance testing | Whether the cable insulation on each circuit has deteriorated |
| Earth fault loop impedance | Whether the protection can cut the power quickly in a fault |
| Polarity checks | Whether power points are connected the right way round |
| Switchboard inspection | Heat damage, worn breakers and loose terminals |
| Power points | Cracked plates, scorch marks and loose mountings |
| Smoke alarms | Type, age and interconnection, against the rule for 1 January 2027 |
You get a written report with the test results, anything that isn’t compliant, and a fixed price to fix it.

Repairs are priced after the report
The inspection finds problems. Fixing them is a separate job, and you choose whether to go ahead. These are our starting prices for the repairs an inspection most often leads to.
| Repair | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Replace a fuse with a circuit breaker | from $250 |
| Safety switch added to an existing switchboard | from $385 |
| Full single phase switchboard upgrade | from $1,850 |
| Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarm, supplied and installed | $181.50 each including GST |
Safety switch work is covered on our safety switch installation Brisbane page, and alarms on our smoke alarm installation page.
When an inspection is worth booking
An inspection earns its price when there’s a decision to make, or a sign that something’s wrong.
- You’re buying an older home. The Queensland Government says a buyer of an older property without a safety switch must install one for the power point circuits within 3 months of the transfer (early responsibilities).
- The switchboard still has old ceramic fuses.
- A safety switch or breaker trips again after you’ve reset it once.
- You want your smoke alarms checked before 1 January 2027.

Common questions about the inspection price
Is the safety inspection still free?
No. Our earlier free inspection offer has ended, and the residential safety audit now starts from $295. The quote for any repair the audit finds is still free.
Can I test my own safety switches between inspections?
Yes, with the test button. The Electrical Safety Office recommends pressing it every three months. If the switch doesn’t trip, call a licensed electrician.
Who does the inspection?
A licensed Faze electrician, under Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 90552, issued by the Electrical Safety Office. Our electrical work carries a 12 month workmanship warranty, and we’re Logan electricians based in Woodridge.
Our advice
If you’re buying an older home, still have ceramic fuses, or have a switch that keeps tripping, book the audit from $295 and get the written report. Then decide on repairs from the fixed prices in it.
