Find the fault.
Fix the problem.
Done properly.
Electrical fault finding and repairs for power, lighting, circuits, outlets and other electrical problems across homes and businesses in South East Queensland.
Don't just guess what is wrong.
Electrical problems are not always obvious. A tripping circuit, dead outlet or lighting issue can have several possible causes.
JP Electrical Brisbane can investigate the electrical fault, narrow down what is causing the issue and discuss the appropriate repair or next step.
Find what is actually causing it.
Electrical faults can show themselves in one place even when the underlying problem is somewhere else in the circuit or electrical system.
Fault finding is about working through the symptoms, testing the relevant electrical components and narrowing down the cause before deciding what needs to be repaired.
What are you noticing?
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell JP Electrical what is happening and what changed before the issue started.
Breaker keeps tripping
A circuit or electrical protection repeatedly switches off.
Outlet stopped working
One or more electrical outlets no longer supply power.
Lights not working
A light, fitting or group of lights suddenly stops operating.
Intermittent electrical issue
The problem comes and goes instead of remaining constant.
Part of the property is off
Some rooms have lost power while other areas remain operating.
Something isn't right
The electrical system is behaving differently and you are not sure why.
Some electrical problems shouldn't be ignored.
If something electrical appears damaged, is repeatedly tripping or has suddenly stopped working, avoid continuing to use the affected equipment or circuit and contact JP Electrical to discuss what is happening.
Once the fault is found, sort the problem.
Identifying the cause is only the first part of the job. Once the fault has been narrowed down, the repair or required electrical work can be discussed.
Depending on the issue, this may involve repairing or replacing an electrical fitting, addressing a circuit problem or recommending further electrical work.
The fault may be bigger than one outlet.
When several electrical points are affected, power continues to trip or the problem involves more than one area, the investigation may extend beyond a single fitting.
JP Electrical can also assist with switchboard and electrical safety related work where the investigation identifies a broader requirement.
Fault finding, without the guesswork.
Start by explaining what is happening, which part of the property is affected and what changed before the problem appeared.
Tell us the symptoms
Explain what is not working, what is tripping or what has changed.
Investigate the fault
Work through the electrical areas related to the reported problem.
Explain the issue
Discuss what appears to be causing the fault and what needs attention.
Repair the problem
Complete or plan the agreed electrical repair or follow up work.
Common questions.
Repeated circuit trips can have several possible causes. Rather than continuing to reset the circuit, tell JP Electrical what is affected and when the trip occurs so the electrical fault can be investigated.
A dead outlet does not always mean the outlet itself is the only problem. The fitting, connection, circuit or another part of the electrical system may need to be checked as part of the investigation.
Tell us which rooms or electrical items are affected and which areas are still operating. That information can help narrow down which circuit or electrical area needs investigation.
Yes. JP Electrical can assist with electrical fault finding where lights, fittings, switches or lighting circuits are no longer operating as expected.
That is exactly what fault finding is for. Explain what you have noticed, when it started and what parts of the property are affected. The electrical issue can then be investigated from there.
