Half the house keeps tripping
At one Aberglasslyn rental we unplugged room by room and measured the circuit. The culprit was a faulty pump inside the rainwater tank.

The fault is not always where it looks. Three Aberglasslyn jobs show why.
At one Aberglasslyn rental we unplugged room by room and measured the circuit. The culprit was a faulty pump inside the rainwater tank.
Fault finding >
A popping sound, then the lights tripped. One downlight had a burnt-out driver. We replaced it and tested the whole circuit.
Lighting >
A light switch was making an arcing noise. We replaced it, fitted a new LED oyster light and flagged the old circuit protection for safety switches (RCDs).

A wall oven was hardwired with the cooktop fed through it, and no safety switch. We fitted a new oven on its own power point and protected the stove circuit. Testing then showed the power circuits' safety switch would not trip, so we replaced it that day.
Ovens and cooktops >
One rangehood had never been ducted out when the house was built. We replaced it and ducted it to a vent in the eave.
Kitchens >
New remotes and receivers did not bring them back, so we replaced all three fans and a tired ensuite exhaust fan.

A faulty appliance on the circuit is common. At one Aberglasslyn rental it was the pump inside the rainwater tank.
Yes. Crackling usually means arcing inside. At one Aberglasslyn home we replaced the switch, fitted a new LED oyster light and flagged the ageing circuit protection for safety switches.
Sometimes it is the charger plugged into it, not the outlet. We checked one in Aberglasslyn and the buzz came from a charging appliance.
