FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, call (02) 9675 5511.
Will my insurer accept your report?
Our reports include the details insurers ask for: the item, fault, cause and repair quote. Every insurer is different, so check with yours what they need.
Can a power surge damage a TV that still turns on?
Yes. Surges often damage inputs, the Wi-Fi module or the power supply while other parts keep working. We test the whole unit, not just whether it powers up.
Do you repair the item after the report?
If it’s repairable and your insurer approves the quote, yes. Or you can take the report elsewhere.
