Bojan,

as the electrician has given you a Certificate of Electrical Safety, he is obligated to come and make the place safe. Since he charged you for a service (outlined in the Certificate), he has to fix the fault you identified.

I would also point out the existence of the Office of the Chief Electrical Inspector (now known as or replaced with Energy Safe Victoria), with which all Safety Certificates must be lodged on the day that you receive your copy (technically the day the job was completed).

You might want to make mention of him and the job to them. And even if you don't want to involve them, mentioning the Office might be especially useful if the electrician refuses to come back or demands further payment :-)

I think a starting point (who could tell you what you can do or who to talk to) would be ESV Legal Operations on 03 9203 9700.

There is also the Ombudsman.

Cheers

Phil
