What is Electrical Fault Finding?

Fault finding is the process of diagnosing and resolving issues within your electrical system. 

Electrical problems can occur for various reasons, including wear and tear, poor installations, or overloaded circuits. Common signs you might need fault-finding services include:

• Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers: A sign of overloaded circuits or faulty wiring.
• Flickering or Dimming Lights: This could indicate loose connections or problems with your wiring.
• Unusual Burning Smells: A potential sign of overheating or damaged wiring.
• Loss of Power in Sockets or Appliances: Often due to faulty circuits or damaged connections.
• Buzzing Sounds from Switches or Sockets: Could indicate a serious electrical fault that needs immediate attention.

No matter the issue, I can identify the root cause and recommend the best solution to get everything back to working order.

Common Electrical Issues in Homes

Electrical faults can arise from several common issues, many of which I encounter regularly in homes. Here are some examples:

1. Shower Not Working

A frequent problem caused by a loose connection or burnt-out pull cord switch. This often results in no power to the shower.

2. Outside Lighting and Sockets

Poorly installed outdoor fixtures or water ingress from heavy rain can cause tripping or complete loss of power.

3. Poorly Installed Circuits

Cables not installed correctly, particularly under floors, are a common issue. They are often laid in water or damp ground, causing premature failure or tripping.

4. Faulty Equipment

RCDs (Residual Current Devices), switches, and other electrical accessories can fail over time, leading to intermittent faults or loss of power.

5. Loose Connections

Poor installation practices or the natural wear and tear of aging electrics can cause cables to become loose, resulting in flickering lights or overheating sockets.

Why It’s Important to Address These Issues

These problems not only disrupt your daily life but can also pose significant safety risks if left unresolved. Whether it’s diagnosing a shower fault or tracking down issues with outdoor sockets, I’ll identify the root cause and ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable.
