Checking Voltage to test for faults in the circuit

No power at home

If you have no power at home, stay calm and follow some steps to fix the problem safely. First, check if the outage is just in your home or if it affects others. You can do this by calling your energy provider or asking your neighbours. If it’s just your home, begin by inspecting the main switchboard. Ensure that the circuit breakers are in the "on" position—sometimes a breaker can trip due to an overload or fault. If a breaker has tripped, turn it off and then back on to reset it. If this doesn’t restore power, check your safety switches (RCDs) to see if they have tripped. If they keep tripping, unplug any appliances that might be causing the problem. Then, try resetting the safety switches again. If the power still isn’t back, it’s important to call a licensed electrician. They can look for problems in the electrical system. This includes checking for bad wiring, overloaded circuits, or issues with the main power supply. Never attempt to fix electrical faults yourself, as it can be dangerous.

Tripped circuit breaker

A tripped circuit breaker is a common problem. It usually happens when there is too much load or a fault in the electrical system. If a circuit breaker trips, it shuts off power to prevent potential hazards like electrical fires. To fix the problem, first ensure safety by turning off or unplugging any electrical devices on the affected circuit. Next, locate your switchboard and check which circuit breaker has tripped—it will be in the “off” position. Flip the breaker back to the “on” position. If the breaker stays on, it means the issue was likely caused by an overload, and you can restore power to the circuit. If the breaker trips again right away, there may be a problem. This could be faulty wiring or a broken appliance. In this case, it’s best to contact a licensed electrician to investigate and resolve the problem. Regularly tripping circuit breakers should not be ignored. They can signal serious electrical problems that need professional help.

Electrical fault finding is essential for keeping your home’s power system safe and functional. Identifying and fixing faults quickly prevents potential hazards like electrical fires, shocks, or ongoing power disruptions. Electricians find problems like bad wiring, overloaded circuits, or broken parts. They make sure your home’s electricity works well and safely. Regular fault finding not only restores power but also improves the overall reliability and safety of your electrical system.

If you're experiencing electrical problems at home, it’s essential to have licensed electricians inspect your electrical systems promptly. Common electrical issues such as flickering lights, loose connections, short circuits, or a faulty circuit can be signs of deeper faults that may result in a power outage, electric shock, or damage to your electrical equipment. A fault occurs when an overloaded circuit, power surges, or aging wiring disrupts the electrical circuit, often leading to electrical hazards. At Home Wise Electrical, our professional electricians specialise in fault finding and safely resolving problems in home electrical setups. Whether it's general electrical work or urgent repairs, we ensure a thorough inspection and safe, reliable solutions to restore power and peace of mind.
