Fault Finding — common questions
My safety switch keeps tripping — can you fix it?
Yes. A tripping RCD usually means a faulty appliance or circuit. We methodically isolate the cause and repair it so it stays on.
I can smell burning near a power point — what should I do?
Stop using that outlet, switch it off at the board if you can, and call us right away. A burning smell can indicate a serious fault and we'll prioritise it.
Why does a safety switch keep tripping?
Common causes include a faulty appliance, moisture, damaged wiring or a circuit fault. The safest approach is to isolate the cause with proper testing rather than repeatedly resetting the switch.
What information helps with fault finding?
Note what stopped working, which switch trips, whether the problem is constant or intermittent, and anything that happened just before it started. This can make the first diagnostic steps more efficient.
