Real Estate Electrician — Eastern Melbourne

Reliable electrical maintenance for investment properties. We work with property managers and real estate agents across the eastern suburbs — fast response, correct invoicing, no headaches.

What Property Managers Need — and What We Deliver

Property managers have one requirement above all others: the job gets done quickly and correctly, the invoice is right, and there are no callbacks. That's exactly how we operate.

Sandy Electrical is the maintenance electrician for a number of property managers across the eastern suburbs. We attend reactive faults, carry out the legally required rental electrical safety check every 2 years and smoke alarm testing every 12 months, test RCDs, and deal directly with tenants when required — so you don't have to manage the coordination.

A Real Job — Switchboard Rebuild After an Electrical Fire

This rental property's switchboard and meter box were destroyed in an electrical fire. We worked with the property manager to assess the damage, coordinate the rebuild, and get the property back to a safe, fully compliant standard — because a rental with no power isn't leasable.

Maintenance Work We Cover

Rental Electrical Safety Check

Required by law every 2 years for every Victorian rental property. We check the switchboard, wiring, and fittings, fix any faults found, and provide a written compliance report for your files.

Common Questions

How often does a rental property need an electrical safety check in Victoria?

Under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021, every rental property in Victoria must have a licensed electrician check the switchboard, wiring, and fittings at least once every two years. We carry out the full safety check, fix anything that fails, and give you a written report and compliance record for your files.

What are the smoke alarm requirements for rental properties in Victoria?

Victorian law requires all rental properties to have working smoke alarms on every storey, in every bedroom corridor, and in the living area, tested at least once every 12 months. From 29 March 2023, all smoke alarms must be photoelectric type. Hardwired (240V) interconnected alarms are required for new installations. We handle the annual testing, any compliance installation, and provide documentation for your records.

How do you invoice — per job or monthly?

Per job by default. For property managers with regular volume, we can set up monthly account billing. Contact us to discuss.

Do you deal directly with tenants?

Yes. We can coordinate access and attendance directly with tenants, keeping the property manager informed. Just include tenant contact details when you log the job.

What's your response time for maintenance jobs?

Most non-urgent maintenance is attended same or next business day. For safety issues or power loss, we prioritise and attend as soon as possible.

Do you cover the whole eastern suburbs?

Yes — we cover Lilydale, Mooroolbark, Croydon, Ringwood, Mount Evelyn, Healesville, Yarra Glen, Belgrave, and surrounds. If you manage properties across the east, we can service the lot.
