Finding the fault before fixing it.
A circuit that keeps tripping, power that drops out to part of the house or a fitting that has stopped working are symptoms, not the fault itself. James tests the installation on site to find the cause, explains what he’s found and agrees the repair and price with you before he starts.
Don’t keep resetting a safety switch that trips repeatedly, and don’t open the switchboard. Note what was running when it tripped and call James. He can talk it through over the phone and tell you whether it sounds urgent, but a fault is only diagnosed once the installation has been tested.
Alongside repairs, James handles general electrical work for homes, rentals and commercial properties: safety switch and RCBO protection, surge protection at the switchboard, oven and cooktop connections, new power, TV, data and phone points, and sub-mains to garages, sheds and granny flats. Where a job needs Energex coordination, he arranges it as part of the work.

Fault and repair questions.
The practical details, before James quotes.
Still unsure?
Call 0487 331 842My safety switch keeps tripping. What should I do?
Don’t keep resetting it or open the switchboard. A switch that trips repeatedly is responding to a fault. Call James, tell him what was running when it tripped, and he’ll find the cause.
Can you tell me what’s wrong over the phone?
James can talk it through and tell you whether it sounds urgent, but a fault is only diagnosed once he has tested the installation on site.
Do you install surge protection?
Yes. Surge protection is fitted at the switchboard. James checks the board first and tells you if anything else needs to change.
Do you connect ovens and cooktops?
Yes. James connects ovens and cooktops and runs a dedicated circuit where the appliance needs one.
What are consumer mains?
The cable that brings power from the network connection to your main switchboard. Work on it is usually part of a supply upgrade or board relocation, and James arranges any Energex coordination the job needs.
What should I do in case of an electrical fault?
Keep clear of sparks, smoke, heat, damaged equipment or exposed wiring. If it is safe to do so, switch off the affected power and call a licensed electrician. Call emergency services where there is fire or immediate danger.
