When do you need a Electrical fault finding?
You will need this service if you have frequent circuit breaker trips, partial or complete loss of power, burning smells from outlets, or unexplained electrical issues in your home.
What happens on the day
An experienced electrician will use specialised equipment to systematically test your electrical circuits and components. They will pinpoint the fault, explain the problem, and provide a solution to safely resolve it.
How to prepare
- Note down exactly what happens and when (e.g., 'main fuse trips when kettle is on').
- Clear access to your consumer unit/fuse board.
- If safe to do so, identify which appliances were in use when the fault occurred.
- Ensure access to the property and be available to answer questions.
How to improve your result
- Avoid overloading sockets by using too many high-power appliances on one circuit.
- Regularly check appliance cords for damage.
- If an appliance consistently trips your power, it might be faulty and should be professionally checked or replaced.
Why it is useful day to day
Quickly resolving electrical faults ensures your home remains safe and functional, preventing disruption to your daily routine and protecting against potential hazards.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about the specific symptoms (e.g., which circuit trips, when it happens), if any appliances were recently connected, and if there were any recent events like water leaks. This helps the electrician narrow down the potential fault locations and types, speeding up diagnosis.
