Signs You Need Electrical Fault Finding

 

Electrical faults can develop gradually over time or suddenly without warning. Some issues may seem minor but could indicate a serious underlying problem. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call a professional:

 

1. Tripping Fuse Box or RCD

• Does your fuse board trip frequently?

• Do certain appliances cause a power cut when switched on?

 

Possible causes: Overloaded circuits, short circuits, earth faults, faulty RCDs.

 

2. Flickering or Dimming Lights

• Do your lights dim when using other appliances?

• Are they flickering even after changing the bulb?

 

Possible causes: Loose wiring, voltage fluctuations, overloaded circuits.

 

3. Electrical Sockets Not Working

• Have you noticed some sockets not supplying power?

• Do plugs feel loose or spark when inserted?

 

Possible causes: Worn-out wiring, faulty outlets, circuit breaker issues.

 

4. Buzzing Noises or Burning Smells

• Do you hear a buzzing or crackling sound from switches or sockets?

• Have you noticed a burning plastic smell near your fuse board?

 

Possible causes: Loose connections, overheating wires, failing components – this is a fire hazard!

 

5. Electrical Shocks from Appliances or Switches

• Have you felt a mild electric shock when touching an appliance?

• Do switches or sockets feel warm to the touch?

 

Possible causes: Faulty earthing, improper wiring, or insulation breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

How much does electrical fault finding cost?

The cost depends on the complexity of the issue. Simple faults (e.g., a faulty switch) can be fixed quickly, while more complex issues (e.g., rewiring a damaged circuit) may take longer. I always provide a fixed price before starting any work.

 

How long does it take to find and fix a fault?

Most electrical faults can be diagnosed within 30-60 minutes. Repairs may take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the severity of the issue. If it's not possible to fix on the day, I will always make it safe and provide you with a quote to fix the issue.

Yes, DIY electrical work can be extremely dangerous. If you suspect a fault, turn off the power and call a professionalrather than trying to fix it yourself.
