Electrical Fault Finding and Repairs
Appleby Electrical provides electrical fault finding and repair services for homes and domestic properties throughout Penzance and the surrounding area.
If you have a circuit that keeps tripping, sockets or lights that have stopped working, or another electrical problem that you cannot identify, professional fault finding can help locate the cause and determine the appropriate repair.
Common Electrical Problems
I can investigate a range of electrical faults, including:
- Circuit breakers or RCDs repeatedly tripping
- Sockets that have stopped working
- Lights or lighting circuits that have failed
- Intermittent electrical faults
- Power loss to part of a property
- Damaged or overheating sockets and switches
- Faults following electrical alterations
- Problems with individual circuits
- Suspected wiring faults
- Electrical problems identified during an EICR
Electrical faults can sometimes be caused by a faulty appliance, rather than the fixed wiring. Where appropriate, I will help establish whether the problem is within the electrical installation or elsewhere.
Electrical Fault Finding in Penzance
Fault finding is often a process of testing and elimination.
I will assess the symptoms, inspect the relevant parts of the installation and carry out appropriate electrical tests to help identify the cause of the fault.
Once the problem has been identified, I will explain what is required to put it right.
Some faults can be relatively straightforward to repair, while others may require further investigation or remedial work.
A Circuit That Keeps Tripping?
Repeatedly resetting a circuit breaker or RCD without finding the reason for the problem is not a good long-term solution.
A circuit may trip because of:
- A faulty appliance
- Damaged wiring
- Water or moisture affecting electrical equipment
- A faulty socket or switch
- Insulation deterioration
- An overloaded circuit
- A fault within the electrical installation
If a circuit continues to trip, it should be investigated rather than repeatedly reset.
Electrical Repairs
Once the fault has been identified, I can advise on the appropriate repair.
Depending on the problem, this may involve replacing a faulty accessory, repairing or altering wiring, replacing protective equipment or carrying out further electrical work.
Where more extensive work is required, I will explain the options and provide a quotation where appropriate.
