A. An electrician is the qualified tradesperson doing the work. An electrical contractor is the licensed business that can legally offer electrical services to the public, carry the right insurances, and provide compliance where required.

A. The big ones we see are overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, deteriorating wiring, tripping safety switches, and damaged switches or power points. If something is repeatedly tripping, buzzing, sparking, or smelling hot, it’s time to get it checked

A. Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm power points/switches, or burning smells. If it’s happening regularly, an electrician can test loads and recommend fixes like circuit upgrades or switchboard improvements.

A. First, check if it’s a street outage (ask neighbours). If it’s only your property, check your safety switch/breakers and unplug a few appliances before resetting. If it won’t reset or keeps tripping, leave it off and call an electrician — that’s often a sign of a real fault.

A. Don’t ignore it — it usually means the supply authority has flagged something unsafe that needs rectification. Book a licensed electrician to inspect, quote and repair, then provide whatever confirmation is required so the issue can be cleared properly.

A. Yes — start with the biggest wins: LED lighting, efficient appliances, and making sure high-load items (like hot water and air con) are running efficiently. If you want to go further, we can assess your setup for load balancing, switchboard/circuit improvements, and smarter control options.
