BEFORE YOU BOOK ANYONE
How to know an electrical check is worth paying for.
A check that ends in a spoken 'looks fine' does not help you decide anything. Five things a check should give you.
What is actually inspected
Board, safety switches, wiring in the roof, power points, earthing. Ask for the list.
A written report
Ask whether you get a report you can keep, share with a buyer or an insurer, and act on later.
The findings ranked
Ask that the report separates what is unsafe now from what can wait.
A licence number
Inspection is electrical work. Ask which electrical contractor licence covers the inspection.
A report you can take anywhere
Ask that the report stands on its own, so you can decide who does any repairs.
Mountain Man Electrical, Townsville and Cairns
What you get from a Mountain Man health check.
The same five, in the same order.
- 01
Board, wiring, aircon, solar and the pole
We inspect the switchboard, the safety switches, the wiring in the roof and the power points, and test as we go. The air conditioning and any solar and battery system get a basic visual and function test, and we inspect the property pole to see whether it is defective.
- 02
A written report
A report on every electrical asset in your home.
- 03
Most urgent first
The report flags the most urgent safety concerns first, then what can wait.
- 04
Licence 88209
The check is done by a licensed electrician and the licence number is on the report.
- 05
Yours to keep
The report is yours to keep and use, whether or not we do the repairs.
Know exactly how safe a home's electrical really is.
We inspect and test every electrical asset, flag the most urgent concerns first, and give you a report you can budget and negotiate from.
In North Queensland, humidity, salt, pests and ageing VIR cabling all take a toll. Catching a fault early is far cheaper than dealing with the damage later.
No power, a burning smell or a board that keeps tripping?
Skip the form and call. We can often tell you what to do over the phone. Emergency call-outs are for existing customers.

Questions before you book.
What do I get at the end?
A written, photographic report on the condition and safety of your electrical system, the most urgent issues flagged first, and a clear quote for any repairs.
Should I get one before buying a house?
Yes. It tells you whether the property is electrically safe and what it will cost to bring up to standard, which is useful in your negotiations.
Do you check the air conditioning, solar and property pole?
Yes. The air conditioning and any solar and battery system get a basic visual and function test, and we inspect the property pole and tell you whether it is defective. Anything that needs work goes in the report.
Who carries out the check?
A licensed electrician. Our team holds Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence No. 88209.
