Electrical Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
Electrical faults can be frustrating at best – and dangerous at worst. Whether you’re dealing with flickering lights, tripping circuits, buzzing sockets, or appliances that keep cutting out, She’s Electric offers a fast, friendly and expert fault-finding service to get to the root of the problem safely.

Our Fault Finding Services Include:
Diagnostics & Safety Testing
We use specialist equipment and years of experience to locate faults in your wiring, circuits, switches, or appliances.
Intermittent Faults
Some faults come and go – we’re skilled in tracking down hard-to-find issues that aren’t immediately obvious.
Tripping Circuits
If your RCD or fuse board keeps tripping, we’ll isolate the cause and recommend the safest solution.
Overheating or Buzzing
Strange sounds, smells, or overheating components can indicate hidden dangers. We investigate thoroughly and fix the root cause.
Emergency Troubleshooting
While we’re not a 24/7 service, we do our best to prioritise urgent electrical issues that may pose immediate risk.
Signs You Might Have an Electrical Fault:
- Sockets or switches that don’t work properly
- Frequent tripping of the fuse board or RCD
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Burning smells or hot outlets
- Intermittent power loss to certain circuits
- Shocks when touching appliances or fittings
If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. A small fault can quickly become a serious hazard if left untreated.
