“Excellent service – undertook aerial and electrical work in the flat. Visited flat beforehand and undertook various tests to see what was feasible. Then agreed to work on a Saturday and was extremely efficient and professional as well as flexible to small changes in project scope as the job progressed. ” ruth newsum, SW1V

Common Electrical Problems solved by BEST

Light Fixtures and Bulbs:

Some of your lights get extra bright while others remain dim.

This is typically caused by a ‘bad main neutral connection’. It can cause light bulbs to pop and can even damage electronic appliances. It will continue to cause problems, and should be looked at immediately

Light bulbs keep burning out

There could be a number of causes for this, from the wrong selection of bulbs to poor connections. Often this quite an easy problem to fix.

Flickering or Blinking Bulbs

This is almost always due to a poor connection somewhere along the wiring in the house. A qualified electrician will be able to find and solve this quickly.

Wall Switch Problems:

A switch doesn’t control anything!

This is a very common problem when moving into a house that has been previously owned. When receptacles are replaced, they may have been disabled. There should be no reason to fix this other than personal preference, but you may be able to add additional lights or fixtures through this switch if you wish.

Switches are getting warm

This is quite common amongst dimming switches, and especially if they are running 600 watt or less bulbs. However, heat at a receptacle is much more of a problem and should be addressed by an electrician immediately.

Issues with Tripping Breakers:

A circuit breaker won’t reset after tripping

This could be a problem with the breaker, but it is far more likely to be an issue with the cicuit it is protecting. It won’t reset because the fault that caused it to trip is still in place. Get an electrician in to diagnose where the problem is.

It trips when I use certain appliances, like hairdryers, heaters or microwaves

This is a problem caused by high wattage items, overloading the circuit. Unfortunately, limiting use of other appliances whilst using the problem appliance won’t solve the issue. The first solution may be to set the appliance on a low watt setting, which is often an option. If that doesn’t work, or you don’t have that option, the only solution is to get a dedicated ‘heavy duty’ circuit for these high wattage items.
