The service
Done properly, the first time.
Electrical faults can appear in many different forms, from power outages and flickering lights to constantly tripping circuit breakers or outlets that suddenly stop working. These issues can indicate deeper electrical problems that need professional diagnosis and repair.
The most common signs it's time to book a fault-find: a breaker that trips the moment you reset it, a specific circuit that keeps dropping out under load (usually kitchen, laundry or air-con), lights that dim or flicker when an appliance switches on, a burning or 'fishy' plastic smell near a switchboard or outlet, warm or discoloured power points, or a dead circuit with no obvious cause. Any burning smell or warm accessory is treated as urgent — turn the affected circuit off at the switchboard and call us before using it again.
A standard fault-find takes 1-2 hours on site. We start at the switchboard, isolate the affected circuit and work outward using insulation-resistance testers, clamp meters and thermal inspection to pinpoint where the fault actually sits — a failed accessory, a damaged cable run, a loose termination, a shared-neutral issue between circuits, or a failing appliance drawing fault current. Once we've isolated the cause we stop and give you a fixed price for the repair before touching anything further, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Every fault-find includes the diagnostic time, a written explanation of what we found, the repair itself (accessory replacement, re-termination, isolating a damaged section of cable, or replacing a faulty RCD/breaker), a full post-repair test of the circuit, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety for the rectified work. If the fault points to a deeper issue — a switchboard that's no longer safe to keep patching, or cabling that needs to be run again — we'll quote that separately rather than paper over it.
Addressing electrical faults quickly helps prevent further damage to your electrical system and reduces the risk of electrical hazards in your home.
