Electrical problems are more than just inconvenient—they can also be dangerous if not addressed properly. At Triple Active Electrical, we often help Melbourne homeowners deal with issues that start small but lead to bigger problems if ignored. Here are five common electrical issues to watch out for:
1. Flickering Lights
This could be a sign of loose wiring or overloaded circuits. If multiple lights flicker at once, it’s time to call an electrician.
2. Tripping Circuit Breakers
A tripping breaker often means too many appliances are drawing power from the same circuit, or there’s a fault in your wiring.
3. Outdated Powerpoints
Old or damaged powerpoints can become fire hazards. We recommend upgrading to modern outlets with safety switches for better protection.
4. Burning Smell or Warm Switches
If a switch or outlet feels warm or emits a burning smell, turn off power to that area and call a licensed electrician immediately.
5. High Electricity Bills
Sudden increases in your electricity bill could indicate an electrical inefficiency or a hidden issue such as a faulty appliance or wiring.
When in doubt, always play it safe.
Our team of A-Class licensed electricians is here to diagnose and resolve any electrical issue—quickly and professionally.
