Fault Finding & Diagnosis

We start with a thorough visual inspection and then use specialist test equipment to systematically check each circuit. This includes insulation resistance testing, continuity checks, and where needed, thermal imaging to detect hotspots. We narrow down the problem methodically until we identify the exact source of the fault.

Our electricians carry multifunction testers, insulation resistance meters, clamp meters, thermal imaging cameras, and circuit tracers. This professional-grade equipment allows us to diagnose even the most difficult electrical faults without unnecessary disruption to your property.

Simple faults such as a tripping RCD or a single dead circuit can often be diagnosed within 1–2 hours. More complex issues involving intermittent faults or older wiring systems may take longer. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and give you an honest estimate before starting.

Yes. Intermittent faults are some of the most frustrating to deal with, but our systematic approach and advanced equipment mean we can usually trace them. Thermal imaging is especially useful for spotting loose connections that only cause problems under load. In rare cases, we may need to install monitoring equipment over a short period.

In most cases, yes. If the repair is straightforward, we can fix it on the spot and the cost of repair will be quoted separately from the diagnostic fee. For more complex repairs that require additional parts or time, we’ll provide a detailed written quote before proceeding.
