Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs in Ballarat

A safety switch that will not reset, lights that flicker, or a circuit that has gone dead. We track down the cause methodically, fix it properly and explain what went wrong.

From $88 + GST call-out, standard job

Finding the real cause, not just resetting the switch

Electrical faults are rarely where they first appear. A tripping safety switch might be caused by a faulty appliance, water in an outdoor power point after a Ballarat downpour, a damaged cable in the wall, or an old circuit that is simply overloaded.

We use proper test equipment to isolate the circuit and then the exact point of the fault, rather than guessing and replacing parts until something works. That keeps the job shorter and the bill lower.

Once we have found it, we tell you what caused the fault, what it will cost to fix, and whether anything else in the home is likely to cause trouble later.

How we find the fault

  1. 1
    Talk it through

    You tell us what is happening and when. Patterns like "only when it rains" are a big clue.

  2. 2
    Isolate the circuit

    We test each circuit to narrow down where the fault is.

  3. 3
    Pinpoint and explain

    We find the exact cause, then explain the fix and cost before doing it.

  4. 4
    Repair and test

    The fault is repaired, the circuit is tested, and you get paperwork where required.

What affects the price

Fault finding starts from $88 + GST for the call-out on a standard job. Simple faults are often found and fixed in the first visit. Intermittent faults that only happen sometimes, faults hidden inside walls or ceilings, and old wiring that needs replacing take longer. We always tell you what we have found and agree the repair cost before going further.

Prices exclude GST and are starting prices for a standard job. Your final price is confirmed in a free, no-obligation quote. Zip finance available.
