Electrical Fault Finding Dublin
Electrical fault finding is used when something is wrong with the electrical installation but the cause is not immediately obvious.
We can investigate residential electrical problems including:
-
RCDs repeatedly tripping
-
Circuit breakers that will not stay on
-
Partial loss of power
-
Sockets suddenly not working
-
Lights or circuits losing power
-
Intermittent electrical faults
-
Buzzing or crackling electrical fittings
-
Burning smells or unusual heat
-
Sparking or scorch marks
-
Electrical faults after building or renovation work
-
Wiring faults
-
Electrical problems with no obvious cause
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
Tell us what is happening and we can investigate the relevant part of the electrical installation.
Electrical Repairs Dublin
Once an electrical fault has been identified, the correct repair depends on what caused the problem.
-
Electrical repair work following fault finding may include:
-
Repairing damaged electrical connections
-
Correcting wiring faults
-
Replacing faulty electrical components
-
Repairing part of a circuit
-
Isolating a defective section of an installation
-
Repairing damaged electrical fittings
-
Carrying out other remedial work identified during testing
The objective is to identify the problem first and then carry out the appropriate repair.
If the investigation shows that the property needs a specialist service such as fuse board work, socket replacement or extensive rewiring, we will explain the appropriate next step.
Electrical Faults After Building or Renovation Work
If an electrical problem starts shortly after building, decorating or renovation work, tell us what work was carried out.
Changes to walls, floors, ceilings or other parts of a property can sometimes affect existing electrical cables, fittings or connections.
Knowing what changed before the fault appeared can help during diagnosis.
Electrical Fault Diagnosis
The exact fault-finding process depends on the symptoms and the electrical installation.
1. Tell Us What Is Happening
Useful information can include:
-
What has stopped working
-
Which area is affected
-
Whether an RCD or circuit breaker is tripping
-
Whether the fault is constant or intermittent
-
When the problem started
-
Whether you have noticed heat, unusual smells or noises
You do not need to know the technical cause.
2. We Investigate the Affected Electrical System
The electrician assesses the relevant part of the installation and carries out appropriate testing based on the symptoms.
The aim is to narrow down where the electrical fault is occurring.
3. We Explain What Has Been Found
Once the cause has been identified where possible, we explain the problem and what needs attention.
4. We Carry Out the Appropriate Repair
Some faults can be repaired during the visit.
If the diagnosis identifies a larger or more specialised requirement, we explain the work needed and direct it to the appropriate service.
Electrical Repair After Fault Finding
Not every electrical fault requires major work.
Depending on what testing identifies, the solution may involve a localised repair.
In other cases, the fault may lead to one of our dedicated electrical services.
What Information Helps With Electrical Fault Finding?
When booking an electrical repair, it helps to tell us:
-
What the problem is
-
Which part of the property is affected
-
Whether an RCD or circuit breaker is tripping
-
When the problem started
-
Whether it happens continuously or occasionally
-
Whether recent building or electrical work has taken place
-
Whether particular equipment appears to trigger the fault
-
Whether there is visible damage
If there is visible damage, photographs may also help us understand the situation before attendance.
