In Melbourne's dynamic housing landscape, rooming houses play a crucial role in providing affordable accommodation. However, this responsibility necessitates rigorous safety measures, particularly in electrical systems. Kenner Electrics, a leading specialist in electrical maintenance, recognises the importance of regular rooming house electrical safety checks. These inspections are essential for resident safety and legal compliance.

The Residential Tenancies (Rooming House Standards) Regulations 2023, effective from 26 February 2024, outline specific electrical safety requirements. Each room must be equipped with a minimum of two functional power outlets, installed by a licensed electrician (Regulation 8). Furthermore, all power outlets and lighting circuits must be connected to overload protection circuit breakers and residual current devices in a switchboard, providing comprehensive electrical safety measures (Regulation 17).
Alongside this, rooming houses must have well-working hardwired smoke alarms, and regulations 12(1)(c) and (d) state that there must be an oven and cooktop in good working order, either in the resident's room or in a common area. Regulation 19(2)(b) also states that each habitable room must have access to artificial lighting "that provides a level of illuminance appropriate to the function or use of the room."

Rooming house operators are required to engage a licensed electrician to conduct electrical safety checks every two years (Regulation 21). So pop a recurring reminder in your calendar! Regulation 29 states that the rooming house owner must retain a record of the electrical safety check until the next safety check is conducted and that the record must include the details of the licenced electrician who conducted the test.
When our experienced electricians conduct an electrical safety check of your rooming house, they will inspect your switchboards and check all accessible electrical installations and fittings and at completion they will provide you with a completed form that you can use as evidence of compliance with the regulations.
During your electrical safety check, if our licenced electricians find any electrical issues that could affect your compliance, they will explain this to you in clear understandable language and will provide a quote to rectify the issue. If the quote is accepted, our electricians can usually complete this work on the same day in order to help reduce any disruption.
The cost of a rooming house electrical safety check in Melbourne typically ranges from $700 to $1000, varying based on the property's size. This investment is crucial for ensuring resident safety and meeting all electrical safety requirements. Kenner Electrics encourages rooming house operators to prioritise these inspections, viewing them as an essential component of responsible property management and legal compliance.
