Electrical problems we fix in Charlestown

In Charlestown we have met a buzzing safety switch, a cooktop sharing the oven's circuit and a faulty off-peak relay.

Electrician's hands working inside a switchboard

Half the house dead, board buzzing

A safety switch in one rental's board had burnt and was buzzing. We replaced it, tested the circuit and had power back the same day.

Fault finding >

Renovated kitchen with downlights and LED strip lighting

The cooktop sparked

The oven and cooktop shared one circuit. We fitted new appliances, gave the cooktop its own circuit, and put both on safety switches.

Ovens and cooktops >

Electric hot water tank installed against a brick wall

Hot water unit fine, still no hot water

The hot water unit tested fine. The off-peak relay in an old meter board looked faulty, so we flagged the board for upgrade.

Electrical work in Charlestown: common questions

Why is my switchboard buzzing?

A buzzing safety switch can mean a hot, burning connection. In one Charlestown rental it had burnt out and cut power to half the house, so we replaced it and tested the circuit. Leave it off and call us.

My cooktop sparked when I turned it on. What should I do?

Switch it off at the switchboard and stop using it. Then call us to test the cooktop and its circuit before anyone cooks on it again.

Why do my hot plates only work on high?

The control switch behind each knob has usually failed. We test them and quote to replace the switches or the whole stove.

The hot water unit tests fine. Why is there still no hot water?

The fault can be at the meter board. At one Charlestown rental the off-peak relay looked faulty, so the tenant contacted their energy provider and we flagged the old meter board for upgrade.
