Electrical fault finding.
Something keeps tripping, half the power points are dead, or the lights flicker when the kettle goes on. Finding out why is a testing job, not a guessing one.

How it works
Isolate, test, prove — then fix.
Faults get found by dividing the installation up and testing each part until the problem is cornered. It is methodical rather than dramatic, and it is why an electrician who tests will beat one who swaps parts hoping.
Once it is found we tell you what it is, what it will take to fix, and what that costs before doing it.
What we do
Faults, found and fixed.
- Circuits and safety switches that keep tripping
- Dead power points and lighting circuits
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Burning smells, buzzing and arcing at the board
- Hot water and appliance circuit faults
- Intermittent faults that only happen sometimes
- Testing, certification and a written explanation of what we found
What we see most
The usual suspects.
Most faults come down to a handful of causes: water where it should not be, an appliance with a failing element, a damaged cable, a loose connection that has been slowly heating, or a board at the end of its life.
Some are a ten-minute fix. Some are the first sign the installation needs bigger work. You get told which, plainly.
Where we work
Greater Brisbane, properly covered.
Caboolture and Elimbah in the north, Browns Plains and Parkinson in the south, Victoria Point and Redland Bay east, Ipswich west. Just outside that? Ask us and we will tell you straight.
Usually an appliance or a circuit with a fault letting current escape. Unplug things one at a time to narrow it down, and if it still trips with everything out, call us.
Once. If it trips again immediately, stop — it is telling you something and repeated resetting will not fix it.
Usually, though they take longer because the fault has to be provoked rather than simply observed. Tell us when it tends to happen.
Yes. We accept emergency electrical enquiries around the clock.
