Tripping breakers, dead sockets, flickering lights — diagnosed and fixed properly, not just patched until next time.
Electrical faults rarely fix themselves, and guessing at the cause usually means paying twice. We trace intermittent faults, tripping circuits, dead sockets and flickering lights back to the actual cause — loose connections, failing components, overloaded circuits — and fix the root problem rather than just resetting the breaker and hoping.
What’s included in fault finding and repairs
- Tripping or overloaded circuits — identifying what’s actually pulling the load.
- Dead or faulty sockets and switches — diagnosis and replacement.
- Flickering or failing lighting — wiring, dimmer or fitting issues.
- Intermittent faults — the kind other electricians give up on.
- Written report — what was found and what was done, for your records or insurer.
An unresolved electrical fault doesn’t just mean inconvenience — it’s one of the more common causes of house fires, and it can quietly damage anything plugged into a circuit running hot or under-voltage. Sorting it properly the first time is almost always cheaper than the repeat call-outs that come from a patch job.
If something’s been tripping or acting up for a while, don’t wait for it to get worse. Reach out through our contact page and we’ll get it diagnosed.
Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs in Tenerife
Electrical faults rarely announce themselves clearly. Tripping breakers, intermittent circuit failures, unexplained high consumption, and RCD nuisance trips all indicate an underlying wiring or device fault that needs systematic investigation rather than guesswork. We use calibrated test instruments — insulation resistance testers, earth loop impedance testers, and thermal imaging cameras — to locate faults accurately before opening walls.
Common faults we diagnose include deteriorated insulation on older rubber or aluminium wiring, loose neutral connections causing voltage imbalances, rodent damage to cable insulation, water ingress into outdoor or pool electrical equipment, and overloaded circuits drawing more than their design current. Once the fault is located we carry out a permanent repair, not a temporary fix, and re-test the affected circuits before handing back.
Following any repair we provide a written report detailing what was found, what was done, and the test results before and after — useful for insurance purposes and for any future inspections. If the inspection reveals wider installation defects that should be addressed, we will advise you honestly on priority and cost rather than exaggerate the scope of work. Call us any time for rapid response to urgent electrical faults.
