Gas Safety Checks
We help you meet the current compliance requirements for gas safety:
- Gas safety checks for gas installations and fittings every 2 years
- Safety check to be handled by a licensed gas fitter having Type A servicing accreditation
- Conducting a gas safety check after a renter occupies your property if it has not been conducted within the last 2 years
- Renters can ask for the date of the latest gas safety check
- It is mandatory to maintain detailed records of the name and license number of the gas fitter that conducts gas safety checks, the date, findings, and any repairs or actions.
The law provides renters with the right to request a copy of the safety check records, which must be met within a week. At Too Hot to Handle, our services are provided in accordance with the Energy Safe Victoria guidelines.
Electrical Safety Checks
As part of meeting the electrical and gas safety checks requirements, we also help you address the compliance requirements for electrical safety checks. Some of the important guidelines under this aspect of the latest rules are as follows:
- Electrical safety check is essential for a landlord-provided electrical installation, appliance, and fitting with a duration of 2 years
- The safety check should be performed by a registered/licensed electrician as per the Australian and New Zealand Standards for Electrical Installations
- Renters can rightfully ask for the date of the latest electrical safety check
- An electrical safety check must be conducted right after a renter occupies a property, if a check has not been conducted in the last 2 years
- It is mandatory to maintain detailed records of the name, and license number of the electrician conducting the check, the date, results, and any repairs undertaken. All the details must be maintained as per Section 2 of AS/NZS 3019.
