We find the cause of the fault
Electrical faults can have many causes — a failed component, an overloaded circuit, moisture, a loose socket or a fault somewhere in the installation. We work methodically through the installation, measuring and testing until we find the fault. Once we know what is causing it we explain it to you and suggest the right fix, so that the fault does not come back.
Common faults we investigate
- The fuse blows and the power does not come back
- The RCD trips again and again
- Sockets or switches that have stopped working
- Lights that flicker or flash
- Parts of the home left without power
- Burning smell or heat from the electrics — Turn off the main switch and call us immediately.
Qualified electrician with the right equipment
Fault finding should be carried out by a qualified electrician with proper test equipment — guesswork in an electrical installation is neither safe nor efficient. We work professionally, document what we find and put the fault right to the requirements of the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board. With voltage testing and circuit checks we also track down harder faults, such as a loose connection behind a socket. If you want the whole installation reviewed rather than a single fault, we carry out an electrical inspection.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to trace an electrical fault?
It depends on how long it takes to find the fault — simple faults are quick, hidden faults take longer. You always get a free quote or estimate first. If you want a quick indication you can calculate your price here.
Why does the RCD keep tripping?
It is usually caused by an earth fault somewhere in the installation or a faulty appliance. We investigate to find exactly what is tripping it, so that you avoid repeated outages.
Is it urgent if there is a burning smell from the electrics?
Yes. If there is a burning smell or heat from the fuse box, sockets or cables — Turn off the main switch and call us immediately. If life is in danger, always call 112 first.
