Common Domestic Electrical Problems Worth Checking

Some electrical issues around the home are easy to ignore, but they can be early signs that something needs checking by a qualified electrician.

Does your consumer unit keep tripping?

If your RCD or circuit breaker trips regularly, it could be caused by a faulty appliance, moisture, damaged wiring or an overloaded circuit. Repeated tripping should not be ignored.

Read our RCD tripping guide

Are your sockets, switches or lights showing warning signs?

Buzzing switches, flickering lights, warm sockets, scorch marks or a burning smell are all signs that your home electrics should be checked. It is better to ask early than wait for a bigger fault.
