What is Electrical fault finding?
If you're experiencing an electrical problem in Bristol, the first step is to get in touch with myself at Fairway Electrical, I can then arrange an initial site visit at your home. A thorough inspection of the electrical issues you’re concerned about will take place using electrical test equipment, previous experience and knowledge. Once the results from testing equipment is analysed, any fault might be traced around a circuit logically. I can then suggest solutions to best accommodate the electrical problem, whether you need additional sockets installed, rewiring or repairing damaged circuits.
Signs you might have an electrical problem at home
There are many electrical problems that you may be experiencing at your Bristol home, some of the most common are:
Dimming or flickering lights-Typically light fixtures only require a small amount of power to function, dimming or flickering lights is normally caused by a larger appliance wired to the same circuit. A flickering light could potentially be caused by a tumble dryer or dishwasher. I can investigate any dimming or flickering lights in your home and discuss moving lights to a different circuit or even installing dedicated lines for major appliances.
Extension cords- Electric wires are buried within the walls of a building for a reason, an undisturbed wiring system poses less of a safety risk and therefore can function for many years. Where many of us are guilty of using extension cords to power all our household appliances, you are actually creating greater hazards in your home. Extension cords can kink or get pinched, they can be a tripping hazard for small children or pets and even be the source of a fire if the cord itself is severely damaged. Fairway Electrical Bristol can install additional plug sockets in the most convenient of locations in your home.
Blown fuses- If you find that using the same appliance at a single outlet causes you to blow the same fuse or tripped breaker, you may find that the circuit is overloaded. Using my experience and skills, I can investigate the cause of the blown fuse or tripped breaker and discuss installing new circuits all in line with up to date electrical regulations.
Discolured or Hot Sockets - If your plug sockets are warm to the touch or have begun to discolour, they may have a loose connection . This could potentially cause a fire or give someone a nasty shock. Contact me to investigate such an issue immediately.
