Electrical fault finding in Parramatta

Electrical faults can cause extensive damage to your appliances and can even start a fire in your home so if you are not in the habit of regularly checking over your home for signs of an electrical fault, it is worth scheduling in a Parramatta Electrician to your home maintenance plan. When John started experiencing minor electrical issues in his Parramatta home, he called us at Sydney Local Electricians and booked an appointment with our Parramatta Electrician team to come to his Wilde Avenue home.  

Electrical fault finding can be easy if there is an obvious problem, but when it comes to wiring or other issues, the fault is not always readily apparent.  John experienced a few faulty electrical issues and here are a few obvious signs that you might have an electrical fault in your home:

• Lights flicker or dim for no reason
• Light switches or power points that feel hot to touch
• Buzzing in light switches or behind power outlets
•  A tingling sensation when touching the outside of a light switch or power outlet
• Discolouration or burnt marks around power points or light switches
• Fuses constantly blow or switches that trip constantly
• Appliances are not working as well as they did

Hiring a Parramatta Electrician to inspect the electrical systems in your home is the most effective way to detect any faults and avoid the problems that can come from having an undiscovered electrical fault.  It may even save you from fire or serious injury.

Sydney Local Electricians will take a systematic approach to the electrical fault finding procedure, starting with obtaining any information from you about suspected fault, or areas that you have noticed are not quite right.  In John’s case, the electrical fault turned out to be a faulty light switch which was causing the safety switches in his metre box to constantly trip.  Without the expert eye of a qualified Sydney Local electrician, John may never have located the issue on his own.

The Sydney Local Electricians team will also use specialised fault finding equipment to quickly and safely locate the problem points. Professional electricians have specialised fault finding techniques and equipment that can safely help them detect any issues in your electrical circuits.  After locating the electrical fault, it can then be removed and replaced with new equipment which could include anything from a replacement power point or light fitting right through to a complete wiring replacement or switchboard upgrade. There are a number of possible sources of electrical problems in the home, and only a professional will be able to give you an exact cause.

It is extremely important to remember not to touch any electrical source that is noisy, hot to touch, sparking or has a burning smell.  Don’t leave your home safety to chance and never attempt to make electrical repairs yourself.
