Experiencing an electrical problem at your home or business? James Smith Electrical provides professional electrical fault finding and repair services across the North Shore and Auckland.

Our qualified electricians can investigate the problem, identify the cause and carry out the electrical repairs required.

Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs

Electrical faults are not always immediately visible.

The cause of a problem may be located in wiring, electrical outlets, switches, lighting circuits, appliances or other parts of the electrical system.

We use systematic testing to help identify the source of the fault and determine the appropriate repair.

Our electrical fault finding services include:

Power outages affecting part of a property
Circuit breakers repeatedly tripping
Faulty power points
Faulty light switches
Flickering lights
Lighting faults
Electrical wiring faults
Intermittent electrical problems
Fault finding for hot water systems
Appliance electrical faults
Commercial electrical fault finding

Power Keeps Tripping?

A circuit breaker that repeatedly trips is a sign that something may be wrong with the electrical system or connected equipment.

Possible causes can include:

A faulty appliance
An overloaded circuit
Damaged wiring
A faulty power point
A lighting fault
Moisture affecting electrical equipment
Other electrical faults

Avoid repeatedly resetting a circuit breaker if it continues to trip.

Our electricians can investigate the cause and carry out the appropriate electrical repairs.

Power Point Not Working?

A power point that has stopped working may be caused by a local electrical fault, a problem with the circuit or another issue within the electrical system.

Signs of a faulty power point can include:

No power
Intermittent operation
The outlet feeling warm
Discolouration
Sparks
Unusual noises
Physical damage

If you notice signs of overheating, damage or burning, stop using the outlet where it is safe to do so and contact a qualified electrician.

We can inspect the power point and associated electrical circuit to identify the cause of the problem.

Lights Flickering or Not Working?

Flickering lights or lights that stop working can have several possible causes.

The issue may be related to:

A faulty light fitting
A faulty bulb
A loose connection
A damaged switch
Wiring problems
An overloaded circuit

Our electricians can investigate the electrical system and identify whether a repair is required.

Partial Power Loss

If some areas of your home or business have power while others do not, there may be an issue affecting a particular circuit.

We can investigate electrical faults affecting:

Lighting circuits
Power point circuits
Appliances
Hot water systems
Outdoor electrical equipment
Commercial electrical systems

We will identify the affected area and assess the electrical system to determine the cause of the problem.

Electrical Faults After Water or Moisture

Water and moisture can affect electrical equipment and wiring.

If an electrical problem occurs after heavy rain, a leak or exposure to moisture, it is important to have the affected electrical installation inspected.

Do not attempt to repair damaged electrical equipment yourself.

Our electricians can investigate the affected system and determine what electrical repairs may be required.

Burning Smell or Warm Electrical Outlet?

A burning smell, scorch marks or an electrical outlet that feels unusually warm can indicate a potentially serious electrical problem.

If it is safe to do so, stop using the affected equipment and contact a qualified electrician.

Do not continue using a power point, switch or appliance connection that shows signs of overheating or damage.

We can inspect the electrical installation and carry out repairs where required.

Electrical Fault Finding for Hot Water Problems

If you have no hot water or your hot water system is not heating correctly, the problem may involve an electrical component.

We can investigate electrical issues relating to:

Hot water cylinder elements
Thermostats
Electrical circuits
Wiring
Electrical connections

If the problem is related to plumbing or another non-electrical component, we can advise you that another qualified trade may be required.
