Fairway Electrical Bristol - Fault finding electrician in Bristol

Are you experiencing electrical faults at your Bristol home? Then you need a reliable and experienced fault-finding electrician who can identify and repair the fault quickly. Fairway Electrical Bristol are your local, experienced fault-finding electrician in Bristol. 

Common electrical faults

There are many electrical faults that can occur in your Bristol home. Some are easy to identify and repair whilst other require more time and deeper investigations. As an experienced fault-finding electrician in Bristol, I see a wide range of electrical faults and can get to the heart of the issue quickly.

Some of the most common electrical faults I am called out to look at include:

•    Frequent tripping at the fuseboard.
•    Total power loss.
•    Burning or strange fishy smell coming from a socket.
•    Discoloured sockets and switches.
•    Hot sockets. 
•    Buzzing, popping or sizzling noises.
•    Flickering lights.
•    Green goo leaking from sockets or switches.

If you are experiencing any of these faults, please get in touch with your local fault-finding specialist as soon as possible as they can indicate a serious issue. Your fault-finding electrician will perform a series of diagnostic tests and ensure your electrical system is safe to use. 

What can cause electrical faults?

An electrical fault at your Bristol home can occur for many reasons, the most common being the age of the electrical system. With time and use, electrics can begin to break down and behave in less-than-ideal ways. 

Other reasons for an electrical fault include:

•    An old fuseboard that is breaking down – this can become overloaded or fail to respond appropriately to a fault.
•    A stressed electrical system – common when too many appliances are using older wiring.
•    A poorly wired electrical system – if your wiring is not installed correctly, you can be at risk of several different faults developing.
•    DIY electrics – a lot of electrical faults are simply due to an amateur attempt to fix an earlier problem. 

As an experienced fault-finding electrician in Bristol, I am equipped to deal with a fault arising from these or any other situation and will be able to advise you on the best course to fix the issue.

Experienced Fault-finding electrician in Bristol

If you find yourself experiencing an electrical fault at your Bristol home, you need to call in a qualified electrician who has the experience to keep you and your home safe. Working with electricity is always a dangerous task. This is especially true when there is an electrical fault. It can be tempting to try and fix the fault yourself, particularly if the power has gone out completely, but it is safer to call in a reliable fault-finding electrician to fix the problem safely. A temporary fix can often cause a bigger problem, leaving you and your family at risk. It is best to call in a professional who can correctly identify and repair the fault. Much of the fault-finding process relies on experience. You need to know that a flickering light could be a fault with the fitting but could also indicate a more serious issue with your wiring. A qualified fault-finding electrician will always ensure they check for all possibilities and leave you with a fully safe installation.

If you need a reliable fault-finding electrician in Bristol, Fairway Electrical Bristol are on hand to help. I take great pride in my reputation as a reliable fault-finding electrician who takes safety seriously. I am fully qualified and NAPIT registered, with a wealth of experience in fault-finding and repair. Whatever your electrical issue, call me today.

    Jason found the cause of our mould issue in our en suite, which was the pipe for the extractor fan having a bend which meant it was not functioning as needed. Jason replaced the part and did all this…
