Three things, every time.
The callout. Travel and mileage anywhere in the Auckland region. There is no travel charge on top and no zone pricing.
The inspection and testing. On every inspection and certificate except the visual home electrical safety check, a registered electrician or EWRB-registered electrical inspector tests the installation with instruments: insulation resistance, earth continuity, loop impedance, RCD trip times and polarity, then checks the switchboard, the protection and the accessible wiring against the wiring rules. The visual safety check is a look over the installation with a written report, and no testing.
The paperwork. Where the installation is safe, eCertify issues the certificate on the day. Where it is not, you get a written report that lists every fault found, what it means in plain English, and how urgent it is. The report is yours to use, including in a sale negotiation.
Repairs. An inspection tells you what is wrong; it does not include fixing it. If eCertify finds something you want put right, it is quoted separately and the price is confirmed with you before any work starts. Minor faults can often be fixed on the day, and the cost is still flagged first.
Meter work. eCertify is not a metering equipment provider and does not install, relocate, re-seal or inspect energy meters. That is arranged through your energy retailer.
One thing worth knowing before you book a tested inspection or certificate: if the inspector finds an immediate fire or safety risk, eCertify isolates the affected part of the installation with your permission and reports it to WorkSafe, as the regulations require. On the visual home electrical safety check, eCertify tells you on the spot about anything that looks like an immediate danger and, with your permission, switches off the affected part until it is repaired. It is rare, and you would want to know either way.
A pre-purchase electrical inspection with eCertify is NZ$249.90 including GST, all inclusive. A building report will usually say something like "possible old cabling" and stop there. The electrical inspection is what turns that line into a tested answer, with a report you can put in front of the vendor. Set against a rewire that can run to tens of thousands of dollars, it is the cheapest piece of due diligence in the purchase.
It depends which document you have been asked for, and the name on the letter is usually not the name of the certificate. Insurers and banks generally want an energy works certificate, which is NZ$269.90 including GST with eCertify. A council or building consent sign-off is NZ$259.90 including GST. If you are not sure which one you need, send us the letter and we will tell you before anything is booked.
A certificate of compliance, the document an electrician issues for work they have just done, is not something eCertify sells separately. It comes from whoever did the work. If you are being asked to certify existing wiring, the document is a certificate of verification, and it is on the table above.
You need one of eCertify's fixed-price inspections or certificates when:
Every situation above maps to one fixed price in the table above, and eCertify confirms which one applies before anything is booked.
The difference is nearly always in what is left out. A lower figure may exclude the callout, the written report, or the testing itself. Compare like with like: eCertify's NZ$99.90 home electrical safety check in Auckland (including GST, until 30 November 2026) is a visual check and says so, while eCertify's tested inspections start at NZ$249.90 including GST. A higher figure is sometimes an hourly rate with no cap.
eCertify's prices are fixed for a reason: you know the total before the visit, the report is always included, and the inspector does not earn anything by finding faults. Every finding in an eCertify certificate or tested inspection report is cited to a named regulation or standard. A finding that cannot be cited is not a finding.
For a home buyer, yes, almost without exception. For an owner who has noticed tripping, flickering, warm switches or old cable in the roof, yes, because the alternative is guessing. For a vendor, a pre-sale certificate of verification removes the one line in a building report that stalls a sale.
Where the installation tests clean, you get that in writing and the peace of mind is the product. Where it does not, you find out from a report instead of at the insurance claim. For an owner who just wants a first look, eCertify's visual home electrical safety check is NZ$99.90 including GST in Auckland until 30 November 2026.

Every eCertify tested inspection and certificate is carried out by a registered, fully qualified electrician or an EWRB-registered electrical inspector. Fixed prices, including GST. The report or certificate is always included. Any repair is quoted and confirmed before it starts.
No. Test and tag covers portable appliances and tools, not the fixed wiring in a property. eCertify assesses and quotes test and tag separately from the inspections and certificates priced above.
