When you need an ELECTRICAL FAULT FINDING ELECTRICIAN IN HARLOW, we are specialists in all manner of electrical issues so don’t be afraid to get in touch

What is an electrical fault?

An electrical fault is any situation where the electrical system operates outside of its design intentions. This could be shown as many different situations such as:

•    Trip Switch Problems
•    Flickering Lights
•    Electrical Burning Smells
•    Intermittent or Total Power Cuts
•    Faulty Sockets

There are many different electrical faults that can occur, some of which may not even affect the electrical systems operation to the untrained eye. 

As domestic electrical specialists, we are well versed in finding electrical faults in domestic properties. 

Trip switch problems

If you are experiencing trip switch problems in Harlow then its best to give us call. Trip switch issues are rarely anything to do with the trip swich itself. 

It’s a common misconception that a consumer unit switch tripping means the switch is faulty. More often than not its an indication that there could be a dangerous electrical fault somewhere in your home. 

Flickering Lights

There are several causes for flickering lights such as:

•    Failing bulbs or lamps
•    Transformers or dimmers failing
•    Loose connections
•    Nearby power disruptions

Whatever the cause, you will more than likely require an electrician that specialises in domestic electrical fault finding to come and investigate for you. We can pin most problems down very quickly and offer on site solutions to fix electrical issues. 

Electrical Burning Smells

I hope it goes without saying that electrical burning smells are not good! This unmistakeable smell resembles rotten fish, melting plastic or a strong chemical smell. It can be caused by overheating plastic and PVC insulation on cables reaching high temperatures and beginning to smoulder. 

If you smell something like this then shut off your electrical system as soon as possible and call us out to check it out. These things rarely resolve themselves and if left, the damage will inevitably get worse along with the increased cost of repairs. 

Intermittent or Total Power Cuts

Where power goes off, lights dim, sockets intermittently work or power fails completely, there are signs that the electrical system is struggling.

You should ring the electrical distribution network operator for your area to check if there are any works going on that would affect the power supply to the property. Freephone on 105. 

Should this yield no results then an electrician is advisable. We are a professional FAULT FINDING ELECTRICIAN IN HARLOW and we can get to the bottom of your electrical problems quickly before more serious issues occur.

Faulty sockets

Where one socket goes faulty, it is likely that the socket itself needs replacing or wiring repairs carried out at the back of the socket. Where all the sockets in the property are working intermittently it’s likely that there are more serious issues that need attention. 

Its important to have these electrical issues investigated even if things appear to return to normal as there can be issues within the mains supply, the consumer unit / fuse box, or the electricity meter. These kinds of issues can end up rather expensive to fix if not investigated promptly by a professional.
