Fault finding is priced on a fixed basis — we agree a price before we start so there are no surprises. The cost depends on the complexity of the fault and the time needed to trace it. Get in touch and we’ll give you a fixed price based on what you’re experiencing.
Most straightforward faults — a tripping circuit, a power loss in one room, a flickering light — can be diagnosed and fixed within two to three hours. More complex intermittent faults can take longer, particularly if they’re hard to replicate. We’ll always be upfront about the likely time involved before we start.
A tripping circuit is a sign something isn’t right, but it isn’t automatically dangerous — the circuit breaker is doing its job by cutting power when it detects a fault. That said, it’s worth getting it looked at promptly rather than just resetting it repeatedly. Repeatedly tripping circuits can indicate an overloaded circuit, a failing appliance or a wiring fault that needs attention.
In most cases yes — once we’ve found the fault we’ll fix it there and then where possible. If parts are needed or the scope of work is larger than expected, we’ll let you know what’s involved and agree a plan before we continue.
Yes — a burning smell near a socket or switch should be investigated promptly. It usually indicates a loose or overloaded connection generating heat, which is a potential fire risk. Turn off the circuit at the consumer unit and give us a call.
Yes — if your solar panels or inverter are underperforming or have stopped working, we can carry out a full system check to identify the fault. We cover solar fault finding, inverter health checks and inverter replacements across Frampton Cotterell.
