FAQs

Fault Finding — Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?

A repeatedly tripping circuit breaker indicates an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. Overloads occur when too many high-draw appliances share one circuit. Short circuits and ground faults indicate damaged wiring or a faulty appliance. We diagnose the root cause.

What does it mean when an RCD (safety switch) trips?

An RCD trips when it detects current flowing where it should not — typically through a person, animal, or damp insulation. This is the safety switch working as designed. If it trips repeatedly, an appliance or wiring is at fault. We perform RCD testing and trace the cause systematically.

Why are my lights flickering?

Flickering can be caused by a loose connection (at the fitting, switch, or switchboard), an incompatible LED dimmer, a failing globe, or voltage fluctuations. Loose connections can cause arc faults and fires if left unresolved — do not ignore persistent flickering.

I have power in some rooms but not others — what is wrong?

Partial power loss usually indicates a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse in older switchboards, or a fault on a specific circuit. Check your switchboard first; if nothing is tripped, call us to investigate.

How long does fault finding take?

A straightforward fault can be resolved in under an hour. Complex faults — intermittent earth leakage, hidden wiring damage — may take longer. We provide a progress update when we arrive and quote clearly for any repair work before proceeding.

Can electrical faults cause fires?

Yes. Arc faults from loose or damaged connections are a leading cause of house fires. If you notice burning smells, scorch marks around outlets, or warm switch plates, treat it as an emergency and call us immediately.

What is RCD testing and why is it important?

RCD testing verifies that your safety switches respond correctly and within the required time. Queensland regulations require periodic testing. We perform RCD testing as a standalone service or as part of a broader electrical inspection.
