Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical fault finding?
Electrical fault finding is the process of testing an electrical installation to identify the cause and location of a problem. It may involve checking circuits, sockets, switches, lighting, protective devices and wiring before recommending the correct repair.
What electrical problems can you investigate?
Big Fish Electricians can investigate issues such as repeated circuit tripping, intermittent power, flickering lights, faulty sockets, buzzing switches, unexplained power loss and electrical accessories that are overheating or no longer working correctly.
Why does my fuse box or consumer unit keep tripping?
Repeated tripping can be caused by a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, an overloaded circuit, moisture, a defective accessory or another electrical fault. Testing is usually needed to identify the cause rather than repeatedly resetting the circuit.
Can you repair the fault during the same visit?
Where the fault is identified and the required parts and access are available, a repair may be completed during the same visit. More complex faults or problems involving damaged wiring may require additional work, which will be explained before proceeding.
How long does electrical fault finding take?
The time required depends on the type of fault, how often it occurs, the size of the installation and how accessible the affected wiring is. Some faults can be identified quickly, while intermittent or concealed problems may take longer to trace.
What should I do if a socket is hot, buzzing or smells of burning?
Stop using the socket and switch off the affected circuit if it is safe to do so. Do not attempt a repair yourself. Contact a qualified electrician promptly, especially where there is heat, smoke, scorching or a burning smell.
Can you find intermittent electrical faults?
Yes. Intermittent faults can often be investigated by testing circuits, checking connections and reviewing when the problem occurs. Providing details about the symptoms, affected rooms and any appliances in use can help narrow down the cause.
Will you need to damage walls or floors to find the fault?
Not always. Testing can often identify the affected circuit or accessory without invasive work. If concealed wiring needs to be accessed, Big Fish Electricians will explain the likely work before opening walls, floors or ceilings.
Do you provide urgent electrical fault finding in Portsmouth?
Big Fish Electricians offers support for urgent electrical problems in Portsmouth. When contacting the team, explain whether there is total power loss, repeated tripping, heat, burning smells, visible damage or another immediate safety concern.
How do I book an electrical fault-finding visit?
Provide the property postcode, a description of the problem, when it started, which circuits or rooms are affected and whether the fault is constant or intermittent. Photographs of the consumer unit or damaged accessories may also help the team assess the next step.
