How many readers have got up into the ceilings of their new houses and had a look at the wiring? I was amazed when I had a look around at our "mess".
I am referring to the loose / unfixed cables everywhere, downlight transformers not fixed to timber. We even had our coax splitter box "secured" on an upright using just insulation tape wrapped around it. The wiring to the ducted aircon zone motors is worse, just draped everywhere.
It seems there are conflicting views as to what is acceptable. I did find the website below (SA Govt website) and have had a read through AS3000 and AS3018 (Elec Standards) - but then electrical works is not my forte. And I cant find anything at all on what is acceptable for aircon installation.

I am keen to hear others observations as to their own finished works or any advice on standards?
