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?
