Common Electrical Faults We Fix
Electrical faults can range from a minor annoyance to a genuine safety risk. All repair work is carried out by a licensed electrician, as required in NSW. Common issues we resolve include:
- Circuits that trip repeatedly
- Lights that flicker or won't turn on
- Power points that have stopped working
- Burning smells or warm switches, which should be checked immediately
When to Call an Electrician
Some electrical issues need prompt attention. It's worth calling us if you notice:
- A safety switch that keeps tripping
- Sparking or scorch marks around switches or points
- Buzzing or crackling sounds from the switchboard
- Any part of your electrical system that feels warm to touch
If the issue turns out to be your switchboard, we also offer switchboard upgrades as a longer-term fix.
FAQs
Need to know about something specific? You can always reach out to us and we’ll let you know.
Why does my circuit keep tripping?
This is usually caused by an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a wiring fault. We can diagnose the exact cause and carry out the repair.
Is it safe to reset a tripped safety switch myself?
You can reset it once, but if it trips again, it's best to have an electrician investigate rather than repeatedly resetting it.
Why are my lights flickering?
Usually one of three things - a loose connection at the light fitting or switch, a failing dimmer, or an issue further up the circuit. Occasional flickering is easy to ignore, but if it's frequent or getting worse, it's worth getting checked. Loose connections are a fire risk if left alone.
Why is there no power to one room?
Most likely a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse in your switchboard. Head to your switchboard and look for a switch that's in a different position to the others, attempt to reset it and see if power returns. If it trips again straight away, there's a fault on that circuit and you'll need an electrician to find it.
How long does fault finding take?
Depends on the fault. A tripped circuit or failed power point can be diagnosed and fixed in under an hour. Intermittent faults or issues hidden in the wiring can take longer - we'll give you an honest timeframe once we've had a look.
