Why Accurate Fault Finding Matters

Accurate fault detection is vital for the safety and efficiency of your electrical system. If not addressed properly, issues like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits can lead to dangerous outcomes, such as electrical fires or electrocutions. At SK Electrical, we specialise in thorough and precise fault identification to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and reliable.

How to Spot Electrical Faults in Your Home

Recognising the early signs of electrical problems is essential to preventing major issues. Look out for signs like frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, strange buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, or a burning smell with no obvious source. These could point to issues like faulty appliances, poor earth connections, or circuit malfunctions. If you notice these signs, contact SK Electrical immediately for expert assistance.

Troubleshooting Electrical Faults Before Calling an Electrician

Before calling an electrician, follow these steps to identify the issue. This may help you restore power or pinpoint the problem without needing immediate professional assistance.

Check Your Switchboard

  • Look for any circuit breakers or RCDs/RCBOs that are in the OFF position.
  • If a breaker or safety switch has tripped, do not force it back on without identifying the cause.

If the Fault Is on a Power Circuit

  • Unplug everything on that circuit—including appliances you might not immediately think of, such as dishwashers, fireplaces, or outdoor power outlets.

If the Fault Is on a Lighting Circuit

  • Turn off all light switches to rule out a faulty light or fixture.
  • Be mindful of two-way switches (e.g., staircase lights), as “off” in one position may still be “on” from another switch.

If You Have One RCD Controlling Multiple Circuits

  • Turn off all circuits connected to the RCD.
  • Reset the RCD—if it stays on, turn each circuit back on one by one until you find the one that trips the RCD.
  • Leave that circuit off and call SK Electrical for assistance.

Check for a Faulty Appliance

  • If a specific power circuit is tripping, plug in each appliance one at a time to see if one causes the breaker or RCD to trip.
  • If a device trips the power, it is faulty and should not be used.

Check for a Power Outage

  • Visit Ausgrid’s website to check if there is a power outage in your area before assuming the issue is within your home.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue or if you notice burning smells, buzzing sounds, or sparks, turn off power at the switchboard and contact SK Electrical immediately for assistance.
