Test and tag is the inspection and electrical testing of portable appliances and leads, tagged with the test date and next due date, and recorded in a register. It's how businesses meet their duty of care under AS/NZS 3760. In Templestowe Lower that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

Templestowe Lower is part of our home patch — we're through Manningham most weeks, so test and tag here doesn't come with a travel premium or a long wait. The register is the part that matters at audit time. A tag on a lead proves one test; a maintained register proves a system, and that's what an inspector or insurer asks to see.
Because we're already working across Donvale, Templestowe and Park Orchards, a Templestowe Lower job usually slots into a run we're doing anyway. That keeps the call-out honest and means we can come back if something needs a second look.
Count and categorise what needs testing and how often.
Visual inspection plus electrical testing with calibrated equipment.
Test date, next due date and tester identified on every item.
A written register issued for your records and audits.
Every test and tag booking in Templestowe Lower runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Testing performed to AS/NZS 3760 with calibrated instruments and a written register.
The part people underestimate with test and tag is the prep. Count and categorise what needs testing and how often. We do that before anyone quotes a number, because a price written without looking at the board is a price that changes halfway through the job.
Testing intervals depend on the environment, not the calendar alone. A construction site lead and an office phone charger sit at opposite ends of the scale, and treating them the same either wastes money or leaves a gap.
“Quoted before we start, certified when we finish.”
Manningham homes run large — 80s and 90s family builds with pools, sheds, studios and separate outbuildings hanging off sub-mains. Those existing loads are exactly what pushes a board over the line when a heat pump or a 7 kW charger goes in, so capacity planning comes before product choice. Older boards out here also tend to be tucked in awkward external cupboards that need rework to fit a compliant new enclosure.
Templestowe Lower sits on the same run as Donvale, Templestowe, Park Orchards — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
More about test + tagAnyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote test and tag honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Templestowe Lower makes sense before you agree to it. Small sites are done in a single visit; larger ones are scheduled to avoid disrupting work.
Plenty of Templestowe Lower homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Priced per item with volume rates for larger sites, quoted after an asset count.
Testing performed to AS/NZS 3760 with calibrated instruments and a written register. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.
Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter
Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Templestowe Lower visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.

Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Testing performed to AS/NZS 3760 with calibrated instruments and a written register.
It depends on the environment — from three months on construction sites to five years for low-risk office equipment. We set the intervals per asset class and remind you when they're due.

Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
