5 Signs Your Home Needs Electrical Repairs

Flickering Lights: If your lights often flicker or dim, it can point to loose connections, faulty wiring or an overloaded circuit, and it’s worth having an electrician check it soon.

Tripping Safety Switches: A safety switch or circuit breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something is wrong, such as an overload, a faulty appliance or damaged wiring, and needs a licensed electrician.

Buzzing Power Points: Buzzing, crackling or warm power points and switches can mean loose connections or damaged wiring behind the wall, and should be switched off and inspected by a licensed electrician as soon as possible.

Burning Smells: Any burning smell from a power point, switch or your switchboard is a serious warning sign. Turn off the power at the main switch if it’s safe, and call an electrician straight away.

Outdated Wiring: Older homes with original rubber-insulated wiring or ceramic fuses carry a real risk of electrical fires and shocks. If your home still has its original wiring, consider booking a full electrical inspection and a switchboard upgrade to keep your household safe.
