It’s your responsibility as a landlord to ensure that a rental property’s electrical system, from outlets, light fixtures, and phone lines are all operating properly before the tenants move in. When old tenants move out, and before the new ones arrive, give Mister Sparky a call and we can check your Christchurch property for you. We’ll make sure the electric circuit is working as it should and is safe for the new tenants. We can also let you know of any electrical damage and if you might be owed bond money.

For landlords or property managers renting fully-furnished flats around Christchurch, in-between tenancies is the perfect time to call Mister Sparky to test and tag all your electrical equipment. The same laws apply for hotel and motel owners that provide guests with electrical appliances. As you’re providing these electrical goods, it’s your job to get regular Test and Tag checks every two years to ensure they’re in good working order and are safe for everyone to use. Not having the electrical appliances you provide tested and tagged can leave you liable if they damage your property, or injure your tenants or guests.

Electrical problems are common in homes of all types, ages and sizes and rental properties are no exception. Problems can range from faulty electrical outlets, light fixtures or switches, to more serious electrical issues like heat or sparks, flickering lights, circuit breaker trips and light bulbs frequently burning out.

With any of these electrical problems, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to arrange with a registered electrician for repairs to be made. Because issues with electric outlets, fixtures and switches are often tied into greater problems with the circuit or electrical system, it’s in your best interest to get repairs made as soon as possible.

At Mister Sparky, we understand your property is important to you. We pride ourselves on our rapid response time around Christchurch, getting to you and fixing your electrical issues fast. Finding electrical faults and dealing with tenants can be stressful enough, so we aim to take the hassle out of the repair. The team at Mister Sparky are friendly, professional, and easy to work with to ensure your rental properties are repaired quickly and with quality.
