๐ Professional Fault Finding Services
Electrical faults can be frustrating and dangerous. Our licensed electricians use advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly identify and fix the root cause of electrical problems:
- No Power Issues: Complete or partial power loss troubleshooting and repair
- Intermittent Faults: Hard-to-find problems that come and go
- Circuit Testing: Comprehensive testing of all electrical circuits
- Earth Fault Detection: Locating dangerous earth leakage problems
- Voltage Problems: Low voltage, high voltage, or fluctuating power issues
- Wiring Faults: Damaged, deteriorated, or incorrectly installed wiring
We use thermal imaging cameras, insulation testers, and multi-meters to pinpoint faults without unnecessary wall damage. Most faults can be diagnosed within 30-60 minutes.
โก Power & Circuit Breaker Problems
Is your power dropping out? Breakers tripping constantly? These are serious issues that need immediate attention:
- Tripping Circuit Breakers: Find and fix what's overloading your circuits
- Tripping RCDs/Safety Switches: Diagnose earth leakage faults causing safety switch trips
- Power Outages: Restore power and prevent future outages
- Overloaded Circuits: Redistribute loads or add new circuits as needed
- Faulty Breakers: Replace worn out or damaged circuit breakers
- Loose Connections: Tighten dangerous loose connections causing arcing
Constantly tripping breakers aren't just inconvenient - they're a fire risk. Our electricians will identify whether you need repairs, upgrades, or additional circuits to handle your electrical load safely.
๐ก Lighting Repair & Troubleshooting
Lighting problems can range from simple bulb issues to serious wiring faults. We repair all types:
- Lights Not Working: Individual lights, entire rooms, or outdoor lighting failures
- Flickering Lights: Dangerous loose connections or voltage fluctuations
- Dimmer Problems: Faulty dimmers or incompatible LED bulbs
- Buzzing Lights: Transformer issues or loose fittings
- LED Failures: Driver problems or compatibility issues
- Light Switch Issues: Faulty switches causing lights not to turn on/off
Modern LED lighting can have unique issues that older incandescent bulbs never had. Our electricians understand LED technology and can quickly diagnose driver failures, incompatibility issues, or wiring problems.
๐ง Switchboard Repairs & Upgrades
Your switchboard is the heart of your electrical system. Problems here affect your entire property:
- Burnt Connections: Dangerous overheating connections need immediate repair
- Failed Safety Switches: Non-functioning RCDs leave you unprotected
- Corroded Terminals: Corrosion causes poor connections and fire risk
- Old Ceramic Fuses: Outdated and unsafe - should be replaced with modern breakers
- No Safety Switches: All switchboards must have RCD protection by law
- Undersized Switchboard: Too small for your property's electrical needs
If your switchboard is more than 20 years old, or you can see signs of overheating (discoloration, burn marks, melted plastic), call us immediately. Switchboard faults are a leading cause of electrical fires.
๐ Appliance Connection Repairs
Hardwired appliances require professional electrical repairs when they fail:
- Oven/Cooktop Not Working: Repair or replace faulty connections and isolation switches
- Hot Water System Issues: Electrical faults preventing hot water heating
- Air Conditioning Faults: Electrical connection problems affecting AC operation
- Rangehood Failures: Motor or electrical connection issues
- Dishwasher Problems: Electrical faults preventing operation
- Pool Pump Issues: Electrical faults or safety switch problems
We work closely with appliance technicians when needed - if the problem is electrical, we fix it. If it's mechanical, we can recommend trusted appliance repairers.
