Tag and testing Services in Nelson & Tasman
At Mako Electrical, we understand how you might overlook the safety of your everyday electrical gear. Kitchen appliances and power tools work hard for you every day. But wear and tear can make them unsafe over time. Our tag and testing services in Nelson and Tasman help with this issue.
We ensure your electrical appliances and equipment function and remain safe to use. We keep the process straightforward so you don't need to think about the technical aspects—we handle all of that for you.
Why Tag and Testing Matters for Your Home
You might be wondering, "Is it necessary to test and tag my appliances if they're still working?" The answer is yes—because an appliance can seem fine on the outside but have hidden problems that could lead to shocks, sparks, or even fires.
Testing and tagging isn't just about following rules. It's about:
Protecting your family – stopping electrical accidents at home.
Cutting costs over time – finding small issues before they turn into expensive breakdowns.
Feeling at ease – knowing your equipment meets standards and works .
When we check your appliances, we go beyond plugging them in to see if they turn on. We use specialized equipment to assess electrical safety and then label each item to show it's okay to use.
What Our Testing and Tagging Covers
Here's what we do when you schedule testing and tagging with Mako Electrical:
Visual Check – We scan for damage indicators such as frayed cords, cracks, or marks from overheating.
Electrical Testing – Our test equipment helps us examine the wiring and connections inside your appliance.
Tagging – Each appliance that passes gets a tag showing the test date and when the next one is due.
Record Keeping – We maintain a record for you making it simple to monitor when appliances need another check.
This service is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and anyone who wants their electrical items to be safe and meet regulations.
Backing You at Every Turn
We don't just stop after we tag your appliances. We also provide guidance on when you should test again and what you need to watch for between checks. If we notice an issue, we'll tell you and help you solve it before it turns into a bigger problem.
This means you won't have to guess—you'll always be aware of your home's electrical safety status.
