Electrical Fault at Home? Get the Right Help
A tripping breaker, dead room or burning smell can have different causes. Use these checks to describe the problem safely, then request an electrician when the fault needs professional diagnosis.
What you may notice
What to do first
- Switch off the affected appliance and avoid repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker.
- If there is smoke, sparking or a burning smell, switch off power at the main isolator only if it is safe to do so.
- Do not open the distribution board or touch exposed wiring.
When to request electrician help
Request an electrician when the fault returns after a safe reset, affects fixed wiring, or involves heat, sparking, exposed conductors or water near electrical points.
