When it comes to fault finding there could be numerous causes. Some of the most common signs of an electrical fault are:

• Flickering Lights: light fixtures usually only draw a small amount of power in order to stay on. If your lights are flickering it could be due to higher energy consuming appliances or a loose wire somewhere in the circuit.
• Odours: Sometimes old wiring or burning wires can give off an odd smell. If your switchboard has an odd smell you should call an electrician out immediately.
• Sparking: If you see sparking from an outlet or appliance plugged into an outlet it is advised to turn the power off at the main and get an electrician out. If your switchboard is sparking, you should call an electrician out immediately.
• Tripping Fuses: If your power keeps tripping this could be a sign that either there is a current that is touching earth or that there is too much power being consumed by that fuse.
• Buzzing Sound: If you can hear a buzzing sound when you turn on a light or power outlet this could be the wiring behind the switch or an unsteady current.
