Landlord electrical compliance Perth

Landlords

Protecting your investment and meeting your legal obligations — clear, professional electrical compliance support across Perth WA.

Protect Your Investment. Meet Your Obligations.

As a landlord in Western Australia, you have specific legal obligations around electrical safety. These must be met before a tenancy commences — and maintained throughout the tenancy.

Smoke Alarm Requirements (WA)

Under the Building Act 2011 (WA), smoke alarms must be installed and fully operational prior to any tenancy commencing. Alarms must:

  • Be connected to 240V mains power (hardwired); or in limited structural circumstances, a compliant 10-year lithium battery alarm may be permitted
  • Be maintained and remain fully functional throughout the tenancy
  • Be replaced before the 10-year expiry date marked on the unit

Tenants must notify their property manager or landlord immediately if a smoke alarm stops working, emits fault warnings, or appears defective.

Safety Switch (RCD) Requirements

All leased residential properties in WA must have a minimum of two fully operational safety switches (RCDs), with protection across all power and lighting circuits — installed and compliant before the property is leased.

Calibre can inspect, test, install, and certify all required safety devices and provide full compliance documentation for your records.

Other Landlord Services

  • Pre-lease electrical inspections
  • Switchboard upgrades for older properties
  • LED lighting upgrades for energy efficiency
  • Air conditioning power supply
  • Appliance circuit additions
  • General electrical maintenance and repairs
24/7 Emergency Response

WA Compliance at a Glance

Smoke Alarms

Hardwired, maintained, and replaced before the 10-year expiry. Required before any tenancy commences.

Electrical Hazard Emergency Guide

In the event of an electrical shock emergency, follow the 8 steps below. If CPR is required once power has been safely isolated, tap the button below for our step-by-step CPR guide.

If you or anyone in the property experiences an electric shock or even a slight tingling sensation from taps, sinks, appliances, or any surface — treat it as a serious emergency.

1
Treat it as an Emergency

Any shock or tingling — even minor — must be taken seriously. Do not ignore it.

2
Turn Off the Mains Power

If safe to do so, go to the switchboard and turn off all power. Then call 000 immediately for an ambulance.

3
Do Not Touch the Person or Any Conductive Surface

Never touch the person receiving a shock, the item causing it, or nearby metal surfaces — taps, sinks, basins, appliances. You may be electrocuted too.

4
Provide First Aid if Safe

Once power is isolated and it is safe, perform CPR if trained and required. Follow all instructions from emergency operators.

5
Isolate All Power Sources

Turn off the mains, any solar inverters, isolators, and circuit breakers — without hesitation.

6
Call Western Power Emergency Line

Report the incident to Western Power on 13 13 52 and follow their instructions.

7
Seek Medical Attention — Even for Minor Shocks

Anyone who received even a small tingle must see a doctor or attend an emergency department for an ECG. Electrical injuries may not show symptoms immediately.

8
Report & Call a Licensed Electrician

Once everyone is safe, notify your property manager immediately. Do not use the affected area until a licensed electrician has inspected and cleared the fault.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. Can't find what you're looking for? Call us on (08) 9331 5011.

Are you a licensed electrical contractor in Western Australia?
+
Yes. Calibre Electrical Contractors holds Electrical Contractor License EC3277, issued by EnergySafety Western Australia. All electrical work is performed by licensed electricians and meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000. We provide compliance certificates for all relevant work.
What areas do you service?
+
We are based in O'Connor and service the wider Perth Metropolitan area. Please contact us to discuss your location and project requirements.
Do you offer emergency after-hours electrical services?
+
Yes. We offer emergency electrical response for urgent safety matters outside of standard business hours. Call (08) 9331 5011 and follow the prompts for emergency assistance. Please note that after-hours callout rates apply.
Do I need a safety switch (RCD) in my rental property?
+
Under Western Australian law, all rental properties are required to have RCD (residual current device / safety switch) protection on power circuits. Properties without compliant safety switches must be upgraded before a tenancy agreement can be signed. We can inspect your property, advise on compliance requirements, and install or upgrade safety switches as needed, providing a compliance certificate on completion.
What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?
+
A switchboard upgrade typically involves replacing an old ceramic fuse board with a modern consumer mains panel fitted with circuit breakers and RCD safety switches. The process usually takes 3–5 hours for a standard residential property. We'll assess your current board, provide an upfront quote, arrange any required Western Power disconnection, complete the upgrade, and issue a Certificate of Electrical Compliance on completion. Power is typically only off for 2–3 hours during the main works.
How quickly can you attend a maintenance request for a managed property?
+
For urgent matters (complete power loss, safety hazards), we aim to attend within 24 hours. For routine maintenance requests, we typically attend within 2–5 business days depending on workload. Property management firms working with us on an account basis receive prioritised scheduling. We communicate directly with tenants to coordinate access where required.
Do you provide compliance certificates?
+
Yes. We issue Certificates of Electrical Compliance (CoEC) for all work that legally requires one under Western Australian regulations. These include new installations, switchboard replacements, major rewiring, and other prescribed electrical work. Certificates are issued promptly upon job completion and can be emailed directly to property managers or landlords.
Can you help with solar panel installation?
+
Yes. We handle the electrical components of solar PV installations including inverter connection, switchboard modifications, metering upgrades, and Western Power grid connection application. We work with reputable solar panel suppliers and can manage the full installation process for residential and commercial properties.
Do you provide quotes before starting work?
+
For all planned and non-urgent work, we provide a written quote before starting. For emergency callouts where the scope is unknown until we investigate, we'll provide a verbal estimate as soon as we've assessed the situation, and won't proceed with significant works without your approval. There are no hidden charges — what we quote is what you pay.
What hardwired smoke alarm requirements apply to rental properties in WA?
+
Since July 2021, all new tenancy agreements in Western Australia require hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms. Existing tenancies have until 2024 to comply. Alarms must be installed on each storey of the property and in each sleeping area. Calibre can supply and install compliant hardwired interconnected smoke alarms and provide documentation for your records.

CPR Guide

Based on St John Ambulance Australia guidelines. In any emergency, call 000 immediately.

🚨
If this is an emergency — call 000 immediately Start CPR as soon as possible after calling for help. Do not delay.

What is CPR?

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep blood and oxygen circulating in the body when someone's heart has stopped. It is a life-saving technique that can sustain a person until emergency services arrive.

If an adult is unresponsive and not breathing normally, you need to call 000 and begin CPR straight away. Even if you are unsure, attempting CPR is always better than doing nothing.

The Action Plan

Follow the DRSABCD action plan before beginning CPR. Use "Dr's ABCD" to help you remember.

D
Danger

Check for danger to yourself, bystanders, and the patient. Do not approach if it is unsafe.

R
Response

Check if the person is conscious. Squeeze their shoulders and ask loudly: "Can you hear me?"

S
Send for Help

Call 000 or ask someone nearby to call immediately. Do not leave the patient alone.

A
Airway

Open the airway by tilting the head back gently and lifting the chin.

B
Breathing

Look, listen, and feel for normal breathing for up to 10 seconds. If not breathing normally, begin CPR.

C
CPR

Begin 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. Repeat continuously.

D
Defibrillation

Attach an AED (defibrillator) as soon as one is available and follow its voice instructions.

How to Perform CPR

Once you have completed DRSABC and confirmed the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, begin CPR immediately.

1
Position the Person

Lay the person on their back on a firm, flat surface. Kneel beside their chest.

2
Place Your Hands

Place the heel of one hand on the centre of the chest (lower half of the breastbone). Place your other hand on top and interlock your fingers, keeping them off the chest.

3
Give 30 Chest Compressions

Push down firmly and smoothly, compressing the chest by about 5–6cm. Release fully between compressions. Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute — roughly the beat of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Keep your arms straight and use your body weight.

4
Give 2 Rescue Breaths

Tilt the head back and lift the chin to open the airway. Pinch the nose closed, seal your mouth over theirs, and breathe in steadily for about 1 second — enough to see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths then return immediately to compressions.

Note: If you are unable or unwilling to give rescue breaths, continuous chest compressions alone can still be effective — do not stop compressions.

5
Continue — 30:2 Ratio

Repeat the cycle of 30 compressions then 2 breaths continuously. Aim for 5 complete cycles in approximately 2 minutes. Do not stop unless the person starts breathing normally, a defibrillator is ready to use, or paramedics take over.

6
Use a Defibrillator (AED) if Available

If an AED is available, attach it as soon as possible and follow the voice prompts. Resume CPR immediately after any shock is delivered and continue until paramedics arrive.

Key Reminders

Call 000 before or as soon as you begin CPR

Push hard and fast — 100–120 compressions per minute

Allow the chest to fully rise between each compression

Swap with another person every 2 minutes if possible to maintain quality

If unable to give rescue breaths — keep doing compressions

Do not stop CPR until paramedics arrive and take over

Important Disclaimer

This guide is based on St John Ambulance Australia guidelines and is intended as a general reference only. It does not replace formal CPR training. We strongly encourage everyone to complete an accredited CPR course through St John Ambulance Australia or another recognised training provider. CPR guidelines are updated periodically — always refer to current Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines for the most up-to-date information.

⚡ Fully Licensed Electricians

All work carried out by licensed electrical contractors — EC3277.

📞 Fast Response Times

We work around your schedule — minimal disruption, maximum efficiency.

Smoke Alarms Save Lives

A working smoke alarm can mean the difference between life and death. Most residential fire fatalities occur at night when occupants are asleep — a properly installed and maintained smoke alarm provides critical early warning when it matters most.

🏠

For Landlords

Under WA law, landlords are legally required to have functioning smoke alarms installed before any tenancy commences. Failure to comply can expose you to significant legal liability in the event of a fire. Regular testing and maintenance is also your responsibility — not your tenant's.

🔑

For Tenants

You have a right to live in a property with working smoke alarms. If an alarm in your home is faulty, not working, or has been removed — report it to your property manager immediately. Tenants are responsible for notifying their landlord promptly if an alarm appears defective.

📋

For Property Managers

Staying on top of smoke alarm compliance across a large portfolio is a significant responsibility. Calibre makes it easy — we handle scheduling, testing, installation, and provide full documentation so your records are always up to date and your landlords are protected.

Know the Requirements

Under the Building Act 2011 (WA) and residential tenancy legislation, all rental properties in Western Australia must comply with the following smoke alarm requirements.

✓ Mains-Powered (Hardwired)

Smoke alarms must be connected to 240V mains power. In limited circumstances where hardwiring is not structurally possible, a compliant 10-year lithium battery alarm may be permitted.

✓ Required Before Any Tenancy

Smoke alarms must be installed and fully operational before any tenancy agreement commences. This is a non-negotiable legal requirement for all rental properties.

✓ 10-Year Maximum Service Life

Smoke alarms have a maximum service life of 10 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is marked on the unit — once expired, the alarm must be replaced entirely.

✓ Ongoing Maintenance Required

Landlords are legally responsible for ensuring smoke alarms remain functional throughout the tenancy and are replaced before expiry. Regular testing is essential.

Our Smoke Alarm Services

Testing & Inspection

Installation
