Electrical Fault Finding

Lights Flickering? Breakers Tripping? Let’s Get to the Bottom of It.

You’re boiling the kettle, and the power cuts out. The lights flicker every time the washing machine runs. Or maybe there’s that one outlet that never works—but no one’s quite sure why. Electrical faults are frustrating, unpredictable, and sometimes downright dangerous.

Aussie Home Services specialises in fast, safe, and accurate electrical fault finding across Sydney. Whether it’s a one-off power issue or a pattern of strange behaviour in your home’s electrical system, our licensed electricians will track it down and fix it before it becomes more serious.

What Is Electrical Fault Finding?

Fault finding is the process of diagnosing problems in your electrical system. It involves checking wiring, circuits, switchboards, sockets, and appliances to identify where the fault lies—whether a short circuit, overload, earthing issue, or a component failing under the surface.

And here’s the thing: electrical problems rarely go away independently. Left unchecked, even a minor issue can escalate into a fire hazard or complete power failure.

That’s why we take the time to find and fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Common Electrical Faults We Fix

Our Sydney-based electricians are trained to detect and resolve all types of residential and commercial faults, including:

Power Outages & Tripping Circuits

If your switchboard keeps tripping or certain areas lose power, we’ll test each circuit to find out why and get things back to normal. In some cases, we may recommend a switchboard upgrade if your current board isn’t up to modern safety standards.

Flickering Lights

Loose wiring? Faulty fittings? Overloaded circuits? We’ll trace the flicker to the source and stop it for good. If needed, we can also help with lighting repairs and upgrades.

Dead Power Points & Switches

When outlets or switches stop working, we’ll test them for continuity and check behind the walls for wear, corrosion, or loose connections. If repair isn’t viable, we also handle power point replacements safely and efficiently.

Burning Smells or Buzzing Sounds

These are warning signs of overheating, short circuits, or poor insulation. We’ll find the issue before it becomes a fire risk.

Appliances That Trip the Power

If a fridge, washing machine, or oven causes your power to trip, we can test the appliance and its circuit to determine where the fault lies.

Why You Shouldn’t DIY Fault Finding

We know it’s tempting to flick breakers, test cords, and guess your way through an electrical issue. But without the right tools or qualifications, you could make things worse—or put yourself at risk of electrocution or fire.

Our electricians use thermal imaging, insulation resistance testing, circuit analysers, and decades of experience to locate and resolve faults safely and efficiently.

How We Work

We keep things simple, safe, and customer-focused:

1. Inspect & Listen – We start with a chat about the issue and a visual inspection of your switchboard and affected circuits.
2. Test & Diagnose—We use specialised equipment to test each component of your electrical system to isolate the fault.
3. Explain & Quote – We explain the issue in plain English and provide a precise, upfront quote before any repairs begin.
4. Repair & Report – Once approved, we perform the necessary maintenance and summarise what we did and why.

No jargon. No surprises. Just fast, honest service from electricians who know their stuff.
