Power Outages & Electrical Faults

Power outages and electrical faults can disrupt your home or business and may pose serious safety risks if not addressed quickly.

An outage is not always the network’s doing. A tripped circuit breaker, a failed safety switch, or a fault in the wiring behind them will all cut the power the same way, and testing is the only way to tell them apart.

So we start with fault finding and troubleshooting rather than replacement. Isolating the circuit at fault first is what makes restoring power safe, and what stops the same fault tripping again a week later.

Switchboard Emergencies & Electrical Hazards

Faulty switchboards and electrical hazards should never be ignored, as they can increase the risk of electrical shock, appliance damage and fire hazards.

Some warnings are obvious: a burning smell, a sparking power point, scorch marks around an outlet, exposed wiring. Others are quieter. A switchboard that runs warm to the touch, or breakers that trip a little more often each month, is telling you something before it fails.

Overheating switchboards and ageing fuse boards are often past patching, and an emergency switchboard upgrade is the safer answer. We will tell you which of the two you are looking at, and give you a long-term fix rather than a temporary one.
