Common electrical faults
Recognising the signs of faulty wiring early can prevent more severe electrical hazards. Common electrical faults include:
- Flickering or dimmed lights: We often receive calls from customers noticing dimming or flickering lights. This is typically caused by loose connections, faulty wiring, or overloaded circuits. We perform thorough electrical testing and visual inspections to pinpoint the problem, repairing any loose or damaged wires to restore safe and reliable lighting.
- Unusual smells: Strange odors coming from electrical installations - such as a burning or fishy smell - may indicate a fault. A fishy odor often signals a loose connection causing the plastic insulation around wires to melt, while burning smells can indicate overheating or damaged sockets and switches.
- Scorched sockets or switches: Overheating can cause scorch marks to appear on sockets and or switches. As soon as you notice any form of scorch or discoloration you should contact a local electrician.
- Frequent tripping: If your electrical system trips frequently, it may be due to overloaded circuits or poor earthing. We can diagnose the cause and provide a safe, lasting solution.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to contact a qualified electrician promptly. Leaving these problems to deteriorate further can be fatal for you and your wallet!
How Carlyia diagnoses electrical faults
At Carlyia, our electricians utilise advanced diagnostic tools to identify and resolve electrical faults promptly with little to no disruption. The process typically involves:
- An Initial assessment: Gathering information from the property owner about the symptoms and any recent electrical work or incidents.
- Circuit isolation: Determining which circuit is affected and safely isolating it to prevent further issues.
- A Visual inspection: Checking for obvious signs of damage, such as burnt wires or loose connections.
- Some testing with top of the range diagnostic equipment: Using industry leading testing equipment to assess the condition of the wiring and help us understand exactly what we’re dealing with.
Our approach ensures that faults are accurately diagnosed and rectified, restoring safety and reliability to your electrical system. We also aim to get your home or business back up and running as soon as possible. If we can’t repair the fault there and then (for example we need a particular part we don’t have to hand) - we’ll provide a temporary, safe solution while we retrieve said part.
Our clients consistently commend our fault-finding expertise and customer service. For instance, one satisfied customer noted:
"Quick and pleasant communication - through the process of investigating the source of the blown fuses other issues were found and rectified and we have had no issues since. Would use again." - Verified Reviewer
Such feedback highlights our commitment to thorough fault finding, prompt repairs and complete customer satisfaction. What more could you ask for?
