Looking for a Fault repair Electrician?

Electrical Faults can occur at any time of day or night and when they do it can be concerning and potentially dangerous. In most electrical systems, things work just fine but where aging wiring or poor installation work have taken place, electrical issues can appear without prior warning. 

What is Electrical Fault Repair?

ELECTRICAL FAULT REPAIR is a service that follows electrical fault finding or a visit by an emergency electrician. Where faulty wiring has been diagnosed and pinpointed, a repair can take place shortly afterwards. 

A fault repair may involve removing carpets, furniture, or belongings in order to access electrical wiring under the floorboards of the property. Whilst this can be disruptive, the right electrician will be able to carry out permanent electrical repairs that stand the test of time. 

Are all repairs invasive?

Thankfully, most electrical repairs tend to be fairly minor issues where plug sockets are broken, lights have been flickering, the fuse box has overheated, or another accessible problem has occurred. 

Once any fault finding has been carried out, your electrician will be able to provide you with a quote to help you make an informed decision and to let you know the cost of any electrical repairs that are required in order to safely restore the electrical supply. 

On older wiring systems, it may not be possible to safely carry out a repair if for instance there are rubber cables that are affected or where wiring is undersized and a repair would leave a danger present. 

What types of Electrical Problems are there?

There are a variety of things that can go wrong in an electrical system and those issues can appear as:

• Circuit Breaker Trips
• Fuse Blows
• RCD won’t turn on
• Power Cuts
• Crackling Sockets

Circuit Breaker Trips

Where there is a circuit breaker tripping, it is important not to continually reset this switch. A circuit breaker trips when there is an electrical fault in the wiring system. When it trips it is put under great stress as it disposes of a large fault current in many cases.

This can eventually take its toll on the circuit breaker and it may eventually break and not turn on again, this is especially the case with older electrical equipment. 

Fuse Blows

When a fuse blows there can be a number of causes. A fuse or fuse wire will blow when there is an electrical overload. Overload happens when there are too many electrical appliances and pieces of equipment being used at the same time. 

The fuse wire or cartridge fuse will blow to protect the electrical cables in your home from overheating, melting, or catching fire due to too much electrical current flowing around them. Cables can only carry a certain amount of electrical current before they begin to overheat and break down.

RCD won’t turn on

One of the most common issues we are called for is to carry out an ELECTRICAL FAULT REPAIR on a consumer unit or fuse box where the RCD switch appears to have failed. 

In reality, these switches rarely fail. It is more likely that there are issues on the electrical circuit(s) causing the switch to trip. These devices are a life-saving electric shock protection device and are installed to prevent lethal electrical shocks to people using the electrical system.

When the switch detects problems that may cause electric shock it will disconnect the power supply to several electrical circuits at once meaning that you may lose sockets, lights, cooker or more items at once.

Power Cuts

Power cuts are a common electrical problem. One of the main reasons for power cuts is actually disruption in the incoming supply to your home. In this case it is an issue outside in the street or nearby causing problems with your electrical connection. 

Before calling an emergency electrician in Liverpool, check with the neighbours to see if they are affected, if the neighbours also have problems, then it is not likely to be your internal electrical wiring causing the issue. You can call 105 freephone to check if there are any power supply issues in the area that are affecting the electricity supply. 

If the neighbouring houses have no issues, then it is more likely to be your home system that has a problem. Give us a call and we will attend to carry out some fault finding for you to determine what has caused the problem. 

Crackling Sockets

When plug sockets go wrong it can be very unsettling and even scary. If there is a crackling sound coming from a plug socket in your home then it is vital that you turn off the plug socket circuit immediately. 

You can do this by finding your consumer unit or fuse box and turning off the switch marked “sockets”. Once you have done this, double check that they are definitely off and then call us to come and investigate the problem for you.

Most plug socket crackling problems are straightforward and quick to fix so please try not to worry. Don’t use the plug sockets until we arrive and let you know when everything is safe to use again.
