Electrical Warrant of Fitness Services
Like Car WOF but for your house
The Electrical Warrant of Fitness has been designed with owner-occupiers, landlords, and property managers in mind. A report will be produced which will help you understand the current electrical state of the property.
An electrical warrant of fitness (EWOF) inspection is a regular check to make sure your property is electrically safe.
How long the EWOF is issued for
An Electrical Warrant of Fitness is issued for one year and applies to the following:
- New properties
- Old properties
- Rental properties
- Business (Industrial or Commercial)
What a warrant inspection covers
The EWOF inspection is a general safety check issued under Regulations AS/NZ 3019:2022 section 3 and include checks and testing for the following:
- Consumer Mains and Entry Points
- Switchboard
- Hot Water
- Light Switches
- Range/Oven/Hob
- Power Points
- Light Fittings Internal/External
- Smoke Alarms
- Air Conditioner/Heat Pump
Important
We recommend testing electrical appliances and fittings periodically in line with AS/NZ 3760, and issuing a safety certificate or equipment test tag alongside the EWOF.
Keep in mind that our findings only reflect what the electrician can see at the time of inspection. In other words, the report covers readily visible wiring and equipment, and it doesn’t extend to wiring hidden in walls, under floorboards, or underground. Overall, we intend the report as an indicator of your electrical installation’s general condition, based on a basic visual inspection under AS/NZ 3019 section 3, alongside some electrical testing.
If your property passes its EWOF inspection, our electrician will apply the EWOF label to the switchboard. After that, you’ll need to organise the next warrant before the expiry date shown on the label.
If Your Property Doesn’t Pass
If, after an inspection and test, the report calls for further investigative or remedial work, the landlord must:
- Ensure that further investigative or remedial work is carried out by a qualified person within 28 days, or the period specified in the report if it’s less than 28 days.
- Obtain written confirmation from a qualified person that further investigative or remedial work has been carried out and whether the electrical safety standards have been met or if further investigative or remedial work is required.
- Supply that written confirmation, together with a copy of the original report which required further investigative or remedial work, to each existing tenant of the property within 28 days of the further investigative or remedial work being completed.
- Supply that written confirmation, together with a copy of the report which required further investigative or remedial work, to the local housing authority within 28 days of completion of the further investigative or remedial work.
