Troubleshooting intermittent electrical faults in a Sydney Inner West home

Comprehensive Electrical Testing

We carry out thorough testing of all circuits, outlets, wiring, and switchboard components to locate the exact fault. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess voltage, continuity, insulation resistance, and protective devices to ensure every part of your system is functioning safely and correctly.

Intermittent tripping and random power loss can be difficult to track, but our electricians follow a systematic isolation process to pinpoint the source. We monitor circuits under load, check for unstable connections, and use specialised equipment to identify faults that only appear occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Flickering or dimming lights often point to loose connections, worn wiring, or a circuit struggling to handle the load. Sometimes the issue is as simple as a failing light fitting, but it can also be a sign of deeper electrical instability. A licensed electrician can test the circuit, secure connections, and ensure the wiring is safe.
Random tripping usually occurs when an appliance develops a fault, moisture enters a cable or socket, or a circuit becomes overloaded. A deteriorating RCD or breaker can also trigger unexpected shutdowns. Proper diagnostic testing will identify whether the issue is with your wiring, switchboard, or a specific appliance.
Yes. A burning or “hot plastic” smell is often a warning of overheating wiring, loose terminals, or a component that’s failing under load. Ignoring it can lead to serious hazards, including fire. If you notice this smell, switch off the affected circuit and call an electrician immediately.
Losing power in a single area usually indicates a fault on that particular circuit—such as a damaged cable, deteriorated outlet, or a breaker that’s no longer performing correctly. It might also occur when a specific room has more appliances connected than the circuit can safely support. An inspection will pinpoint the cause.
Damaged wiring can show up through several warning signs: discoloured outlets, buzzing noises, flickering lights, warm switch plates, or breakers that trip repeatedly. These symptoms indicate that insulation, connections, or cable integrity may be compromised and should be assessed by a professional as soon as possible.
Yes. Appliances with internal faults can cause short circuits, overloads, or leakage currents, which will trigger safety devices to shut off the power. Common culprits include heaters, kettles, washing machines, fridges, and older appliances. Testing the appliance or disconnecting it can help isolate the issue.
