Holiday home electrical maintenance on the Great Ocean Road

A lot of the houses on this coast sit empty most of the year and full for six weeks. That is hard on a property electrically, and harder again when the owner is a two hour drive away.

The arrangement is usually simple. Something goes wrong, or a check is due, and you message us. We sort access with your manager, cleaner or a lockbox, do the work, send through photos, and invoice you afterwards.

The common ones are hot water systems that have died between stays, safety switches tripping from a damp outdoor circuit, outdoor lighting corroded by salt, and switchboards that have not been touched since the nineties. Most of it is straightforward when it is caught early.

What is included

• Pre season check before the busy stretch starts
• Between guest callouts when something fails mid season
• Access arranged with your property manager, cleaner or lockbox
• Photos and a written summary of what we found, sent to you
• Hot water, oven, heating and air conditioning electrical faults
• Safety switch and smoke alarm compliance for short stay rentals
• Invoiced remotely, no need for you to be on site

If you rent the place out, safety switches and compliant smoke alarms are not optional. We can bring the property up to standard and give you the paperwork to keep on file.
