Powerpoint & Switch Faults

Frequently Asked Questions – Fault Finding
1. Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
It’s usually caused by a wiring fault, damaged outlet, or faulty appliance. We can identify the exact cause.
2. Is it dangerous if lights flicker?
Yes — flickering often indicates loose wiring or overloaded circuits.
3. Can you repair faults immediately?
​
Most faults can be repaired during the same visit.
4. Do I need fault finding for one dead powerpoint?
Yes — a single dead outlet can indicate wiring damage behind the wall.
5. What if the issue only happens sometimes?
​​​​
Intermittent faults are common and can still be dangerous. We locate the cause even if it’s not happening during the appointment.
