Electrical Inspection Tips
Do I need an electrical inspection before selling my home?
Yes – it ensures the property is safe and compliant for the next owner.
What’s included in an electrical inspection?
We check wiring, outlets, switchboards, safety devices (RCDs), and overall compliance with NZ standards.
What is an Electrical Warrant of Fitness (EWOF)?
An EWOF certifies that the electrical system in your caravan, motorhome, or relocatable dwelling is safe and up to code. It’s required every 4 years under New Zealand law.

Switchboards and fuses
Wiring condition

How often does my relocatable cabin need an EWOF?
Every 4 years, in line with New Zealand electrical safety regulations.
Can I connect my cabin to a campground or powered site without an EWOF?
No – most campgrounds and holiday parks will not allow connection unless you can show a current EWOF sticker.
Does my cabin need an EWOF if it’s on private property?
Yes – if it’s connected to mains power via a caravan lead or portable plug-in system, it must have a current EWOF.
Do tiny homes need an EWOF?
Yes – if your tiny home or portable building connects to mains power using a caravan-style plug, it must have a valid EWOF renewed every 4 years.
Is an EWOF the same as a standard home electrical compliance certificate?
No – an EWOF is specifically for transportable and portable buildings using plug-in connections, not fixed residential wiring.
