A few simple things can keep you and your family safe while you wait:
These are the calls we get most often. If yours sounds familiar, give us a ring.
Your safety switch is doing its job by cutting power when something’s wrong. Common culprits are a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor power point or a damaged cable. Try unplugging everything on that circuit, resetting the switch, then plugging things back in one at a time. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, it’s time to call a fault finding electrician. And if your home still has old ceramic fuses, a switchboard upgrade will give you modern safety switches that protect every circuit.
This usually means one circuit or safety switch has tripped. Check your switchboard first. If nothing has tripped, or it won’t reset, there may be a fault in the wiring or the switchboard itself. If your neighbours are out too, it’s more likely a network outage.
Don’t ignore this one. If you can safely reach the switchboard, turn off the main switch and call us straight away. If you can see smoke or flames, get everyone out and call 000.
A single flickering light is often a loose globe, a failing driver or a dimmer that doesn’t suit LEDs. If lights are flickering right across the house, it can point to a loose connection at the switchboard or mains, which needs checking quickly.
A power point should never feel warm. Stop using it, unplug anything you safely can and switch off that circuit. Hot power points often come from loose wiring or overloaded power boards. If you’re running out of places to plug things in, a power upgrade can add the outlets you need.
Domestic electrical fault finding is a process of elimination. Here’s what happens when we arrive:
Many common faults are found within an hour or so. Intermittent faults that come and go can take longer to track down. If we notice anything else along the way, we may suggest a full electrical safety check.
Fault finding is charged differently to a fixed-price install. Until we’ve traced the fault, nobody knows whether it’s a damp outdoor power point or a cable chewed through by rats in the roof. So we charge for the time it takes to find the problem.
We’ll tell you our rate before we start and keep you updated as we go. Once we’ve found the fault, you’ll get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. There’s also no call-out fee for jobs that proceed.
Electrical faults don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our electricians work 7 days a week, including weekends. If you’ve lost power late at night or something feels unsafe, our emergency electrician team can help get your home safe and back up and running.
