About this service

There is nothing more unsettling than a burning smell coming from a socket or the lights going out on a cold evening. As a specialist Electrician in Leeds, I understand that electrical faults aren't just an inconvenience; they are a genuine safety concern for your family. Many of the older Victorian terraces and back-to-back properties in our area still rely on aging cabling that degrades over time, often leading to nuisance tripping or dangerous shorts. My emergency fault finding service at OR Electrics is methodical and precise. I don't guess; I use high-specification test equipment to trace the fault directly to the source, whether it's damp ingress in a basement intake, a loose connection in a junction box, or a faulty appliance. My priority is always to make the installation safe immediately, explain exactly what has gone wrong in plain English, and get your power back on without leaving a mess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my consumer unit keep tripping?

If your RCD or breaker keeps tripping, it's doing its job: protecting you from a fault like an earth leak or an overloaded circuit. It is vital you don't keep resetting it without finding the cause, as this could lead to fire or shock. Call OR Electrics so I can safely identify the issue.

Does fault finding cause a lot of mess?

Not usually. I use sensitive testing equipment that allows me to 'see' down the cables without ripping up floorboards immediately. If I do need to lift a board or chase a wall, I'll discuss it with you first and use dust sheets to protect your home.

Is it safe to use an extension lead if a wall socket is buzzing?

Absolutely not. A buzzing or crackling socket indicates arcing, which is a major fire hazard. You should isolate that circuit at the consumer unit immediately and call a professional Electrician in Leeds to replace the accessory.

How do you charge for fault finding?

I charge a standard call-out fee which covers the first hour of testing. In 90% of cases, I can locate and often fix the fault within this time. If extensive repairs are needed, I will provide a fixed quote before proceeding so there are no nasty surprises.
