What are the reasons for Electrical Faults?
Most appliances that have reached the end of their useful life simply stop working properly. Wear and tear can expose wires, cause friction, and pose a potential hazard in some cases. Electrical faults can also be caused by a variety of factors, whether they are unintentional or due to aging.
Older homes with non-upgraded wiring and fittings generally require a qualified electrician to conduct a fault-finding assessment on the wiring system and then repair any faults. Older wiring can be dangerous, posing risks such as electric shock and fire, as well as causing issues with your power supply. If you suspect an electrical fault in your home or commercial property, you should have it investigated right away to ensure the safety of you, your family, and your tenants.

Typical indications of an electrical fault
There could be a variety of causes when it comes to fault finding. The following are some of the most common indications of an electrical fault:
Flicker: Most light fixtures only use a small amount of power to stay on. Flickering lights could be caused by higher energy-consuming appliances or a loose wire somewhere in the circuit.
Odors: Sometimes old wiring or burning wires emit an unpleasant odour. If your switchboard emits an unusual odour, you should contact an electrician right away.
Sparking: If you notice sparking from an outlet or an appliance plugged into an outlet, turn off the power at the main and call an electrician. If your switchboard is sparking, you should contact an electrician right away.
Tripping: If your power keeps tripping, it could be a sign that there is a current touching the earth or that the fuse is consuming too much power.
Sound: When you turn on a light or a power outlet, you may hear a buzzing sound. This could be caused by the wiring behind the switch or by an unsteady current.
