Electrical Faults & Fault-finding around Figtree
Much of the housing in Figtree was built decades ago. Older homes like these often still have original switchboards, ceramic fuses or only one or two safety switches, and wiring that was never designed for today's appliances.
In older homes, faults often trace back to tired wiring, loose connections or moisture in outdoor points. Jade finds the cause rather than just resetting the safety switch.
Homes near the escarpment and bush get their share of storms and fallen branches. If power drops out after a storm, it's worth getting the switchboard and any damaged outdoor wiring checked before resetting things repeatedly.
What we do
- Safety switch or breaker that keeps tripping
