We Find and Fix Hidden Electrical Faults

Electrical faults are not just inconvenient – they can be dangerous. Our licensed electricians are trained to detect issues before they become hazards. Using specialised testing equipment, we locate faults in wiring, switchboards, power points or appliances and provide straightforward solutions.

Whether it’s a sudden blackout or a long-term issue that keeps getting worse, we’ll work efficiently to restore power, safety and peace of mind. All repairs are completed to Australian standards with a free workmanship warranty.

Electrical Fault Finding & Fixing Services

Why Fault Finding Matters

Not all electrical problems are visible. Undiagnosed faults can cause fires, damage appliances or lead to shock hazards – especially in older homes or properties with DIY wiring.

Our electrical fault finding service gives you a clear answer to what’s wrong and how to fix it. Whether you’ve lost power in one room, are dealing with intermittent faults or have a buzzing outlet, we’ll get to the bottom of it quickly. It’s about solving problems early before they become serious.

WHAT WE DO

Common Electrical Faults We Fix In Melbourne

We diagnose and repair all types of household electrical faults from both small annoyances to emergency electrical concerns. Our qualified electricians are trained to identify underlying issues quickly and fix them safely and efficiently. Whether it’s a blown fuse or something more complex, you can count on us to restore power and peace of mind.

Here are six of the most common issues we see:

  • 1 - Tripped Circuit Breaker

    1. Tripping Circuit Breakers

    If your safety switch keeps tripping, we’ll test for overloading, short circuits or faulty appliances and isolate the cause.

  • 2 - Flickering Lights

    2. Flickering Lights

    Loose wiring, ageing fittings or voltage issues can all cause flickering lights. We’ll investigate and restore the proper lighting function.

  • 3 - Dead Power Points

    3. Dead Power Points

    If a power point has stopped working, it could be a faulty socket, internal wiring issue or circuit problem – we’ll test and replace if needed.

  • 4 - Burning Smells & Heat

    4. Burning Smells

    A hot switch, burning smell or discolouration around fittings may indicate a fire risk. We respond urgently to assess and make safe.

  • 5 - Sparking Sounds

    5. Buzzing & Sparking

    Noisy switches, buzzing downlights or sparking when plugging in appliances are all signs of loose connections or damage.

  • 6 - Power Loss

    6. Intermittent Power Loss

    Power that drops in and out can be hard to trace. We’ll run tests across circuits, cabling and appliances to identify the fault.

Could not recommend enough! Leonard and Mackenzie did an amazing job installing downlights throughout my apartment. Really communicative, honest, tidy, and all round excellent service. Will definitely reach out again in the future for any electrical needs.

stars 5.0

Prompt, polite and professional service. All Electrics responded quickly to our request for a quote, were very communicative about their arrival time and were incredibly attentive when it came to the work at hand. Honestly, we were so happy with the job Leonard and Mackenzie did installing a power point that we booked them again almost immediately to install some ceiling fans for which they, once again, did a brilliant job. Very glad to know that we now have a dedicated professional we can reach out to the next time we need electrical work.

    Questions? No problem! Here are the most commonly asked questions we receive about electrical fault finding across Melbourne. If you still have questions or would like to speak to us, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

    Read More FAQs →

    • Common signs include tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, dead power points, burning smells, buzzing switches or intermittent power loss. You might also notice unusual heat from switches, sparking when plugging in devices or lights dimming when larger appliances are used. These symptoms may indicate overloaded circuits, poor connections or ageing wiring that requires immediate attention.
    • Yes, very much so. Electrical faults involve live wiring, circuit boards and potentially damaged insulation — all of which carry serious risks of electric shock, burns or fire. In Victoria, all electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Attempting to diagnose or repair faults yourself is illegal and could make the situation significantly worse. Always contact a qualified professional when you suspect an electrical problem.
    • Most electrical faults can be identified within 1 to 2 hours, though this depends on the complexity of the issue and how easily the fault can be isolated. Some intermittent faults — those that only occur occasionally — may take longer to diagnose. Once the fault is found, we'll give you a clear explanation of what's causing it and what's needed to fix it before proceeding.
    • Yes. Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of house fires in Australia. Loose connections, damaged insulation, overloaded circuits and faulty wiring can all generate heat that ignites surrounding materials. If you notice burning smells, scorch marks around power points or switches, or your safety switch keeps tripping, do not ignore it — call a licensed electrician immediately.
    • We offer fixed pricing for fault diagnosis, which means you’ll know upfront what the assessment will cost. If repairs are needed, we’ll quote you clearly and transparently before carrying out any work. There are no hidden charges, no inflated costs and no pressure. We believe in honest, up-front service so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
    • In most cases, yes. Our vans are stocked with common parts and materials so that straightforward repairs can be completed on the spot once the fault has been diagnosed. If the job requires specialist parts or more extensive work, we'll explain what's needed and schedule a return visit as quickly as possible.
