Why Choose Our Repair Service

Common Electrical Repairs

Power Point and Switch Repairs

Faulty power points and switches are common electrical problems that require professional repair. We fix power points not supplying power, loose or damaged power point sockets, burnt or discoloured power point outlets, switches that don't turn lights on or off properly, sparking or crackling from outlets or switches, and broken or damaged switch plates. Never attempt to repair power points or switches yourself as faulty electrical connections create serious fire and shock hazards.

Lighting Circuit Repairs

Lighting problems can result from various electrical faults. Our lighting repair services address lights that won't turn on, flickering or dimming lights, lights staying on when switched off, multiple lights failing simultaneously, buzzing or humming from light fittings, and light switches that feel hot to touch. We systematically diagnose lighting circuit faults to identify whether problems originate from light fittings, switches, circuit wiring, or circuit breakers. For new lighting installations, see our LED lighting services.

Switchboard and Circuit Breaker Repairs

Switchboard problems require immediate professional attention. We repair circuit breakers that trip repeatedly, main switches that won't stay on, safety switches (RCDs) that keep tripping, burnt or damaged circuit breakers, loose connections in switchboards, and buzzing or arcing sounds from switchboards. Switchboard faults indicate serious electrical problems that can lead to electrical fires if not addressed promptly. Our electricians identify the cause of switchboard issues and complete necessary repairs or replacements to restore safe electrical operation.

Electrical Fault Finding

Our Systematic Approach

Electrical fault finding requires systematic diagnosis to identify problems efficiently. Our fault finding process includes detailed discussion of symptoms and when problems occur, visual inspection of electrical systems and equipment, testing with specialised electrical diagnostic tools, isolation testing to pinpoint fault locations, circuit tracing to identify affected areas, and identification of root causes rather than symptoms. This methodical approach ensures we find and fix the actual problem, not just temporary symptoms.

Common Electrical Faults

We diagnose and repair various electrical faults including short circuits in wiring or equipment, overloaded circuits causing breaker trips, earth faults creating shock hazards, neutral faults affecting voltage levels, high resistance connections causing heat buildup, and intermittent faults that occur sporadically. Our testing equipment allows us to measure voltage, current, resistance, and insulation to accurately diagnose even complex electrical problems. For comprehensive fault finding services, visit our fault finding page.

Testing Equipment We Use

Professional electrical fault finding requires specialised equipment including multimeters for voltage and resistance testing, insulation testers for cable condition assessment, circuit tracers to locate cables in walls, clamp meters for current measurement, thermal imaging cameras to detect hot spots, and RCD testers for safety switch verification. This equipment enables accurate diagnosis of electrical faults that would be impossible to identify through visual inspection alone.

Appliance Circuit Repairs

Kitchen Appliance Circuits

Kitchen appliances often require dedicated electrical circuits that can develop faults. We repair circuits for ovens and cooktops not heating properly, dishwasher circuits tripping breakers, refrigeration circuits with voltage problems, rangehood circuits not working, and microwave circuits causing breaker trips. Kitchen circuit faults can result from overloading, moisture damage, or connection failures at appliance terminals.

Air Conditioning Repairs

Air conditioning electrical problems require specialist knowledge. Our air conditioning electrical repairs include units not turning on, circuit breakers tripping when AC operates, incorrect voltage supply to outdoor units, faulty isolator switches, and electrical overload issues. We test air conditioning circuits, connections, and protection devices to identify faults and complete necessary electrical repairs to restore cooling system operation.

Hot Water System Electrical

Hot water systems can experience various electrical faults including electric hot water not heating, off-peak hot water systems not switching on, circuit breakers tripping when element operates, faulty thermostats causing overheating, and timer problems preventing heating cycles. We diagnose hot water electrical faults and repair or replace faulty components to restore hot water supply. For new hot water installations, see our hot water electrical services.

Storm Damage Electrical Repairs

Lightning Strike Damage

Lightning strikes can cause extensive electrical damage requiring comprehensive repairs. Storm damage we repair includes damaged switchboards from power surges, burnt out appliances and electronics, fried circuit boards and protection devices, damaged underground or overhead cables, and meter box damage from direct strikes. After severe storms, we provide emergency electrical inspections and repairs to identify and fix storm-related electrical damage.

Water Damage Repairs

Water exposure creates serious electrical hazards. We repair water-damaged electrical systems including wet switchboards and circuit breakers, flooded power points and switches, moisture-affected wiring in walls or ceilings, corroded electrical connections, and storm water damaged underground cables. Water damaged electrical systems require immediate professional attention to prevent electrical fires and shock hazards. For urgent storm damage repairs, contact our emergency electrician service.

Our Repair Process

1. Initial Assessment

When you contact us about electrical repairs, we gather information about the problem including what's not working correctly, when the problem started, any unusual sounds, smells, or visual signs, and whether circuit breakers have tripped. This helps us arrive prepared with likely parts and tools needed for repairs.

2. On-Site Diagnosis

Our electrician conducts thorough on-site assessment including safety evaluation of the fault, visual inspection of electrical equipment, electrical testing with diagnostic tools, circuit testing to identify fault locations, and clear explanation of findings. We identify the root cause of electrical problems before recommending repairs.

3. Repair Quote

Before starting repairs, we provide clear upfront pricing including parts required for repairs, labour costs for repair work, any additional work recommended, and total cost estimate. We don't proceed with repairs without your approval of quoted costs.

4. Repair Completion

Our electricians complete electrical repairs professionally including isolation of faulty circuits for safety, repair or replacement of faulty components, secure reconnection of all electrical connections, comprehensive testing to verify repairs, and clean-up of work area. We test all repairs thoroughly before re-energising circuits to ensure safe operation.

Repair Pricing and Guarantees

Electrical repair costs vary based on the nature of the fault, parts required, time needed for diagnosis and repair, and urgency of the repair. We provide transparent pricing with quotes before starting work so you know costs upfront.
