The problem

How faults are actually found

Most faults come down to a few causes: a failing appliance, moisture getting into an outdoor fitting, a loose connection, or damaged cable.

Common faults we trace: safety switch trips when it rains, power points dead in one room, lights dim when an appliance starts and a fridge tripping the safety switch. See also Electrical repairs.

Intermittent faults are the hardest. Noting when the trip happens, such as when it rains or when a particular appliance runs, helps narrow it down.

We use insulation resistance and continuity testing to find the faulty section, then repair or replace only what is needed.

How it works

Our process. No runaround.

1

Hear the history

When it started, what trips and what was happening at the time.

2

Isolate circuits

Narrow the fault down to a circuit or appliance.

3

Test properly

Insulation resistance and continuity testing to find the cause.

4

Repair and re-test

Fix the fault and confirm the circuit is safe.

Compliance

Standards and certificates.

Fault finding and repairs must be done by a licensed electrician and comply with AS/NZS 3000. Repairs are tested before the circuit is returned to use.

If the fault is on the street side of the meter, it belongs to Ausgrid (13 13 88), and we will tell you.

Questions

Good to know before you call.

Why does my safety switch keep tripping?

Faulty appliances, moisture in outdoor fittings and damaged cables are the most common causes. Unplug appliances on the circuit and reset. If it still trips, call us.

Why do my lights flicker?

Loose connections, failing LED drivers or incompatible dimmers are common causes. Flickering across the whole house can also be a supply issue.

Why does it only trip when it rains?

Water is getting into an outdoor light, power point or cable. We test the outdoor circuits to find it.

Can you find intermittent faults?

Yes, although they can take longer. Notes on when the fault happens help a lot.

Is a tingle from a tap or appliance dangerous?

Yes. Stop using it and call an electrician straight away, as it can indicate an earthing fault.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. Our workmanship comes with a lifetime warranty. We are fully insured, have been in business since 2016 and hold NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 332956C.

Matt arrived on time and was very helpful and polite. He and his colleague fixed my bathroom light switch and installed 2x sockets just as I wanted and ensured everywhere was left tidy. Highly recommended and I will be using his services again.
