Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my earth leakage trip when it rains?
Moisture is getting into an outside connection, garden lights, gate motor supplies and outdoor sockets are the usual suspects. We isolate and seal or repair the culprit.
Is a tripping breaker dangerous?
The tripping itself is the protection working, but the underlying fault can be dangerous, especially if anyone bypasses the protection to 'keep the power on'. Never do that; have the fault traced.
How do you find an electrical fault?
We divide and test: isolating circuits and appliances one by one until the fault is pinned to a specific cable, connection or device, then repair and retest.
Do you come out at night for electrical faults?
Yes, we're available 24/7, and treat burning smells and exposed faults as emergencies.
Can an appliance cause the whole house to trip?
Absolutely, a faulty kettle, geyser element or fridge is one of the most common causes. Part of our process is separating appliance faults from wiring faults.
