Electrical problems we fix in Wallsend
Tripping in Wallsend usually traces back to chewed cable, a failed fan or a faulty oven.
Exhaust fan trips the safety switch
An ensuite 3-in-1 unit (heater, fan and light) kept tripping the safety switch. The fan had failed inside the unit.
Bathrooms >
Oven fault found during an upgrade
While moving an oven circuit onto safety switch protection, we found the oven itself was faulty.

Three fans, and a rule that comes with them
Three ceiling fans went into a Wallsend home. Altering that lighting circuit made upgrading its protection from a plain circuit breaker to a safety switch a legal requirement, not an upsell, so that was done at the same time and the compliance certificate covers the lot.
Ceiling fans >
An oven that needed an outlet first
An underbench oven in a Wallsend unit came out and a new one went in. The replacement was plug-and-play, so a new switched socket had to be installed to suit it before the oven could go back under the bench.
Ovens and cooktops >
Dull, flickering fan lights
A Wallsend bedroom fan had globes flickering and going dim, and the heat lamp in the ensuite had blown. Both were replaced on the one visit, the fan globes with tricolour LEDs. Not every flicker is a wiring fault, and we will say so when it is not.
Lights and downlights >Electrical work in Wallsend: common questions
Can you put my oven circuit on a safety switch?
Yes. We did exactly that in one Wallsend home, and the testing showed the oven itself was faulty.
How do I know if rats have chewed my wiring?
Lights or power points that die, or a safety switch that keeps tripping, can mean chewed cable. Stop resetting it and call us to find the damage.
Why does my bathroom exhaust fan trip the safety switch?
Often the fan has failed inside the unit. Leave it switched off and call us to test it and replace the failed part.
I am only having ceiling fans put in. Why does the switchboard need work?
Because altering a circuit brings that circuit up to the current rules, and that means a safety switch rather than a plain circuit breaker. It is a legal requirement, not an upsell. We did it on a three-fan job in Wallsend and it is on the compliance certificate.
My fan light keeps flickering. Is that dangerous?
Not always. Dull, flickering globes in a fan are often just the globes, and in one Wallsend bedroom that is exactly what it was. It is worth having looked at, because a loose connection looks the same from the floor, and we will tell you which one it is.
