"Had urgent need of some assistance following installation of a gas boiler at an elderly person's house when existing wiring proved to be out of spec. This company did a great job for us, as the ancient wiring job proved to be a real brain teaser."

FAQ

Fault Finding & Diagnostics FAQs

Common questions about electrical fault finding, diagnostics, and troubleshooting in Suffolk.

Electrical fault finding is a systematic process of diagnosing the root cause of electrical problems. Our electricians use professional test equipment including multimeters, insulation resistance testers, RCD analysers, thermal imaging cameras, and loop impedance testers. We inspect the consumer unit, test every circuit, check earthing and bonding, and inspect accessible wiring. Once the fault is identified, we provide a clear explanation and a fixed-price quote for the repair.
Fault finding is charged at our standard diagnostic rate plus any repair work required. For straightforward faults, we can often diagnose and repair in a single visit. For complex intermittent faults requiring extended investigation, we quote a fixed diagnostic fee upfront. You will never be charged for open-ended hourly troubleshooting — we agree the scope and price before proceeding.
Yes, intermittent faults are our speciality. These are often the most frustrating problems because they disappear when an electrician arrives. We use techniques including continuous monitoring, thermal imaging to detect heat build-up, vibration testing for loose connections, and historical load analysis. We also ask detailed questions about when the fault occurs — time of day, weather, which appliances are running — to narrow down the cause.
Our diagnostic toolkit includes calibrated multimeters, insulation resistance testers, RCD testers, earth loop impedance testers, prospective short-circuit current testers, thermal imaging cameras, power quality analysers, and cable locators. This professional-grade equipment allows us to detect faults invisible to the naked eye and measure parameters to BS 7671 standards.
Circuit breakers trip for three main reasons: overload (too many devices drawing power), short circuit (live and neutral touching), or earth fault (live touching earth). MCBs trip on overload or short circuit; RCDs trip on earth faults. We test the circuit to determine which type of fault is occurring, trace it to the source, and repair it. Common causes include faulty appliances, damaged cable insulation, moisture ingress, or loose connections.
A burning smell from electrics should always be treated as an emergency. It indicates overheating connections, overloaded cables, or failing components that could lead to fire. Turn off the affected circuit at the consumer unit and call our emergency line immediately. Do not use the affected socket or switch until it has been inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician.
Yes, we provide commercial fault finding for offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial sites, and rental portfolios across Suffolk. Commercial installations often involve three-phase systems, larger distribution boards, and more complex circuitry. Our electricians are qualified to diagnose faults in both single-phase and three-phase commercial electrical systems.
Yes, every fault finding visit includes a written diagnostic report detailing what we found, where the fault was located, what caused it, and our recommended repair. If we carry out the repair, we also provide the appropriate electrical certificate — a Minor Works Certificate for small repairs or an Electrical Installation Certificate for larger remedial work. This keeps your records complete and your insurance valid.
