Electrical faults within a residential installation pose serious safety risks and must always be inspected by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2018. Common indicators of electrical faults include flickering or unstable lighting, the presence of a burning odour near outlets, switches, or cabling, electric shocks when contacting conductive surfaces, overheating of socket outlets, audible buzzing from lighting fixtures or outlets, and repeated tripping of protective devices such as Circuit Breakers or Residual Current Devices (RCDs).
It’s critical to understand that electrical faults may present as both visible and concealed issues within the installation, affecting the integrity and safety of the electrical system. For this reason, any suspected fault should be isolated if safe to do so, and reported to a qualified electrician immediately. Our team is equipped to respond promptly, carrying out professional fault finding, system testing, and corrective actions to restore the safety and compliance of your home’s electrical installation.
