How do I know if I have an electrical fault in my home or business?

There are several tell-tale signs that you may be dealing with an electrical fault:

If you notice any of these, don’t delay. Call a professional electrician to avoid risk of fire or electrical shock.

The cost of electrical fault finding services varies depending on several factors:

  • Type of fault (minor issue vs major wiring problem)

As a rough guide:
