What causes electrical emergencies

Common causes
Overloaded circuit
Too many appliances on one circuit draws more current than it is rated for, which trips the breaker or overheats the wiring.
Short circuit
A live wire touching neutral or earth causes a sudden surge. It is a common cause of sparks and tripping and needs proper attention.
Moisture or water ingress
Water reaching wiring, a DB board or an outdoor point can cause tripping, corrosion and a real shock risk.
Worn or damaged wiring
Older or rodent-damaged wiring degrades over time. Failing insulation is a frequent cause of faults and fire risk.
Faulty appliance
Sometimes the fault is a single appliance, not the installation. We help you find which one and rule out the rest.
