⚡ Why do my fuses keep blowing?
Frequent fuse blowouts are usually a sign that your circuit is overloaded or there’s a fault in the wiring. Using too many high-powered devices on the same circuit can cause this issue. Our team can inspect your system, identify the cause, and install additional circuits or upgrade your fuse box to handle the load safely.
💡 How can I tell if my wiring is outdated?
Outdated wiring can pose serious safety risks. Warning signs include:
- Frequent tripping of breakers
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Discoloured outlets or switches
- Burning smells near sockets
If your property is over 30 years old and hasn’t had a recent electrical inspection, it’s time to get it checked.
🔌 What should I do during a power outage?
First, check if the outage is limited to your property or affecting your neighbours. If it’s just you, inspect your breaker panel for tripped switches. If flipping the breaker doesn’t work—or if it trips again—call a professional immediately. Avoid attempting DIY fixes with live wiring.
🛠️ When should I call a professional electrician?
You should contact an electrician if you experience:
- Burning smells from outlets
- Sparks when plugging in appliances
- Buzzing or crackling sounds from wiring
- Unexplained power loss in parts of your home
