This is one of the worst run companies I have ever had to deal with. Booked in for a specific date, I received one email to say that my appointment had been booked in. Had to take time off to be home for this appointment, no one showed! Rang and… Read more

made a complaint, as this was time out of my day and all they said was "sorry, you'll have to rebook". Rebooked, received multiple emails and texts messages confirming appointment, which makes me think that they were never going to show up to the first appointment, no matter when I had it booked for. Had to take yet another day off to be at home for this appointment. Technician actually showed this time, was here for less than 5 minutes, changed the batteries in smoke alarms and left. Emails made it seem these were important tests on smoke alarms and all it was, was a battery change. If this took such a small amount of time, I do not know why they couldn't have done this on the original booking date. This company either needs to hire more technicians, have a better booking system or map out their technicians appointments in closer areas.

 Follow-up  · This company is a rip-off of both time and money! Technicians are polite, but seem to not really know what they are doing. First booking was for Smoke detector safety test and technician just changed the batteries. Then had a gas safety check, where all he seemed to do was turn the gas burners and the heater on and off. Last was an electrical… Read more

!!!!!!!! Just a word of caution everyone !!!!!!! "any damage to plaster or paintwork would not be covered by CheckHero" so the electrician or gas plumber they send can basically make whatever hole they want to make and cause whatever damage they want to cause. I have attached a photo for your reference. I am not whinging as it is I guess, a part of the risk in choosing the cheapest one. Show details

Their service has consistently been reliable, professional, and courteous. They have been looking over the smoke alarm and switch boards of my house from the last two years.

Really happy with the service today. The electrician was very professional, positive, and incredibly efficient — he checked everything quickly. What really stood me out was that he even took his shoes off before coming inside, which is honestly very rare and much appreciated. Great experience overall

I had a Check Hero technician and gas expert attend my property today, and I was very impressed with the overall experience. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, punctual, and courteous. The technician took the time to clearly explain what they were inspecting and why, which gave me confidence that everything was being handled… Read more

thoroughly and safely. Their knowledge around gas systems was evident, and they answered all my questions patiently without making things feel rushed or overly technical.

What stood out most was their attention to detail and commitment to safety. They carried out the checks carefully, ensured everything was compliant, and left the area clean and tidy afterwards.

Overall, the service was efficient, transparent, and reassuring. I would definitely recommend Check Hero for anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable gas expert.

Excellent. Continuous ongoing communication on arrival, very courteous and professional, helped with a domestic unrelated problem. I am very grateful and would highly recommend.

The first appointment the inspector sent a txt to say he wasn't coming when he should have been here. I was p*ssed off with that I waited all day for him. I took a day off work without pay that cost me.

I had a disappointing experience with Check Hero Inspection. Firstly, the timing of the visit should be communicated much more precisely. It’s important for customers to know exactly when the team will arrive, rather than being left uncertain. Secondly, all required checks should be completed in a single visit. Multiple visits for the same… Read more

inspection are inconvenient and disruptive.

Lastly, I would expect better basic etiquette from the team. If shoes are left outside at the door, it’s a clear indication that footwear should be removed before entering. This is especially important as there are children in the house who crawl and move around on the floor, making hygiene a serious concern.

Overall, there is significant room for improvement in communication, efficiency, and professionalism.

Check Hero replaced a smoke detector in my investment property in April this year, organised through my property manager. It has only been seven months and the alarm has already failing again. This is very disappointing, and based on my experience, I would not recommend this service.

I've had 2 excellent ChechHero tradies come out to inspect my gas and 3 smoke alarms on the 13/04/26. They were friendly and acknowledgable and explained a few safety issues. They arrived at the required tracking time. Chang, the electrian, found a non compliant electrical issue that needs attention. I'm very happy he noticed it and will forward a report to my real estate for the owner to look at.

Very satisfied with the service I received. Electrician contacted me on the day to give me an accurate time frame of when he would be coming. On arrival he was friendly and polite, quickly and professionally checking, servicing and then testing the properties smoke detectors for compliance. More than satisfied with the service I received from this electrician

They seem to be the cheapest in the business for smoke alarm inspections ($86.90 inc. GST). The ability to track when the technician will arrive was helpful, the guy was friendly (although didn't give a name), and was really quick at his job

I had a great experience with CheckHero. They were professional, reliable, and had a very kind approach throughout the entire process. I really appreciated that they contacted me beforehand to confirm the exact time they would arrive — it made everything smooth and stress‑free. Overall, I’m really satisfied with the service and would happily recommend them.

Very good communication re appointment and also both the customer service centre and the inspector who arrived were very kind and understanding when I called re my current health issues and had to ask if they could be taken into account for the inspection. All in all, a very positive experience

The service was carried out professionally and courteously, including notifications re appointment times and the technicians arriving promptly and carrying out the routine gas and electrical system safety checks quietly and efficiently. Thankyou.

Smooth experience. Guy who did the check called me in advance to make sure I am available. He even removed his shoes before entering the apartment without being asked to do so which I appreciate.

Clear communication in organising the visits and confirming time of arrival on the day was helpful. Minimal input needed from me was appreciated as I was working from home when the technicians arrived.

I recently had a home security checked by checkhero and was very satisfied with the service. The technician arrived on time, inspected doors, windows, locks, and the alarm system. It was a thorough and helpful experience that made me feel more secure at home. Highly recommended.

The two men who came to check electric and gas were quick, efficient, kind, and very good at what they did. They arrived early in my time slot so I didn’t have to wait all day, and stayed in contact to let me know when they were coming prior.

We arranged for CheckHero to do a Gas/Electrical/Smoke test and they identified several things as being non-compliant. As many of the faults were related to the prior installation of one piece of equipment, we got the original installer to fix those related faults and told CheckHero not to fix the same faults. However, that request fell on deaf… Read more

ears and we received an invoice for CheckHero going to the property to fix ALL of the (fixed and unfixed) faults??? We refused to pay the full amount listed on the invoice - there was one other item that did have to be fixed that was on another piece of equipment that we agreed to pay. An electrical problem that had been repeatedly recurring was not identified by CheckHero so we requested a discounted quote from CheckHero. That quote which excluded a callout fee (as compensation for omitting the electrical problem) was higher than 2 other quotes that included a callout fee??? CheckHero needs to live up to its name and be more price-competitive (especially when the price of parts and trade wages are feely available on the internet)!

I'd never heard of CheckHero until our real estate agent organised for the gas and electricity checks. Have to say very easy to deal with. After the inspection one of our power points wasn't working and a tradie was organised and power point was fixed within a couple of days. Communication was great and overall a very satisfactory service.

I've had dealings with a few rental security check companies before and check hero was by far one of the easiest to deal with. From the bookings, the staff were fantastic and very friendly. They called prior to the date to confirm and then I was kept up to date with live updates of when to expect the trades. Once trades arrived, they were friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Overall very easy experience!
