As Canberra’s trusted electricians with over 20 years of experience, we’ve walked into countless homes and spotted the same electrical gremlins popping up time and again. These everyday problems can turn into big headaches—or worse, safety hazards—if left unchecked. Here’s what we see most often and how to spot them early.

Flickering lights often signal loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or aging bulbs. That annoying flicker isn’t just distracting; it could point to deeper issues straining your system.

Power points that don’t work or feel warm to the touch? This usually means faulty outlets, poor connections, or overloads. Warm points are a red flag for potential fires—don’t ignore them.

Frequent circuit trips are a classic sign of overloaded breakers, dodgy appliances, or outdated wiring. In older Canberra homes, this is especially common as modern gadgets demand more power.

Outdated switchboards struggle to handle today’s electrical loads, leading to inefficiencies and risks. Buzzing sounds or hot panels? Time for an upgrade.
