Fault Finding & Efficiency

Electrical fault finding

Diagnosing and fixing common electrical issues.

What is electrical fault finding?

Electrical fault finding involves identifying and diagnosing issues within an electrical system. Whether it’s in a home or a business, electrical faults can cause anything from minor inconveniences to serious safety hazards. Common problems like loss of power, constant RCD (Residual Current Device) tripping, or flickering lights can all indicate deeper issues within the wiring or electrical components. Fault finding requires a skilled electrician to systematically inspect, test, and isolate the problem before providing a safe and reliable solution.

The problem

Why is fault finding important?

Electrical faults can sometimes be hidden, developing over time and eventually leading to more serious problems such as power outages, equipment failure, or even electrical fires. Fault finding allows for early detection and correction, preventing these issues from escalating. Additionally, resolving electrical faults ensures the continued safety and functionality of your electrical systems, whether in your home or business.

The PROCESS

What can you expect from our fault finding service?

Here’s what our professional fault-finding service includes:

  1. Thorough Inspection: Our experienced electricians will conduct a detailed inspection of your property’s wiring and electrical components. We systematically test circuits, switches, and connections to find the root cause of any issues.
  2. Accurate Diagnosis: Using specialised tools and years of expertise, we’ll quickly diagnose the issue, whether it’s a wiring problem, equipment malfunction, or circuit overload.
  3. Clear Solutions: Once the problem is identified, we’ll provide a detailed explanation of what’s wrong and the options available to fix it. We’ll always discuss the work that needs to be done before proceeding, ensuring there are no surprises.
  4. Safe and Professional Repairs: We carry out all repairs to the highest standards, ensuring your electrical system is safe, reliable, and fully compliant with UK regulations.

Our fault-finding services cover a wide range of common electrical issues, including:

  • Loss of Power: Whether it’s in a single circuit or throughout the property, loss of power can be caused by anything from a tripped breaker to a more complex wiring issue. We’ll trace the problem to its source and get your power restored.
  • Constant RCD Tripping: If your RCD keeps tripping, it’s a sign that there’s a problem somewhere in the electrical system, often related to insulation faults or equipment failure. We methodically test the circuits to locate the fault and fix it.
  • Flickering Lights: Flickering lights can be caused by loose connections, faulty light switches, or problems with the wiring. We’ll identify and repair the underlying issue to ensure consistent lighting.
  • Overloaded Circuits: If your circuit breakers trip frequently, it could be due to overloaded circuits or faulty equipment. We’ll test the load on your circuits and suggest ways to balance your electrical demands safely.
  • Low Insulation Resistance: Low insulation resistance can cause dangerous current leakage, leading to electrical hazards. We test and inspect your wiring, ensuring it meets the required safety standards.
  • Short Circuits and Open Circuits: Short circuits can cause appliances to blow fuses or trip breakers, while open circuits may leave parts of your home without power. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem and make the necessary repairs.
  • Reversed Polarity: Incorrectly wired outlets can pose a safety risk by reversing the neutral and live wires. We’ll inspect and correct these faults to ensure the safety of your system.

The solution

Benefits of electrical fault finding
