FAQs
What does a residential electrician do?
A residential electrician installs, repairs and maintains electrical systems in homes. This includes everything from lighting and power points to switchboards, smoke alarms and wiring upgrades. They ensure your electrical system is safe, efficient and compliant with current standards, helping prevent hazards and costly breakdowns.
How often should I have my home’s electrical system checked?
It’s recommended to have a qualified electrician inspect your home every five to ten years, depending on the property’s age. Older homes may need more frequent checks to ensure wiring and switchboards are up to code. Regular inspections can prevent faults, improve energy efficiency and protect your family from potential electrical hazards.
Why do my lights flicker or dim?
Flickering lights are often caused by loose wiring, overloaded circuits or faulty fittings. Sometimes it can also signal an issue with your switchboard or incoming power supply. It’s best to have a licensed electrician inspect the system to identify the cause and ensure everything is operating safely.
