Electrical Fault Finding and Rewires

Why it is Important to Address All Types of Electrical Faults (Especially Short Circuits) and Rewires

Electrical faults are more than just an inconvenience—they’re a serious safety risk. Whether it’s flickering lights, tripping breakers, or a complete power outage, faults can indicate underlying issues that may lead to fires, electric shocks, or costly damage if left unresolved. One of the most dangerous types of faults is a short circuit, which occurs when electrical current takes an unintended path, often due to worn insulation or damaged wiring. These faults can generate intense heat, leading to burnt wires, melted outlets, or worse.

Electrical Fault Finding and Rewiring Commercial, Industrial and Residential

Rewiring ensures that your system is updated to handle today’s electrical demands safely and efficiently. Older homes, especially those built before the 1980s, often contain wiring that no longer meets modern safety standards. Rewiring replaces unsafe or outdated components, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and improves the reliability of your entire system.

By addressing faults early and upgrading old wiring, you protect your family, property, and peace of mind.

While safety standards have improved over the years for all types of electrical systems, many Sydney homes continue to fall prey to this dangerous threat. All types of faults, including short circuit faults, can lead to loss of life, injury, and house damage. Rather than risking your life or the life of someone you love, ensure the best, top-notch quality electricians in Sydney conduct your fault-finding and rewiring.

Electrical Faults Can be Fixed Before a Disaster

Inadequate maintenance, utilisation of outdated wirings and space heating are some of the common causes that lead to electrical faults – and thus, fires(*1). NSW Fire and Rescue say that almost half of home fires are caused by electric appliances and faults(*1). Appliance failure and poor house wiring are additional reasons why many homes have recently become fire risks to homeowners.

Types of Faults

There is a range of faults that can occur in both commercial and residential buildings. Short circuit faults are the most dangerous(*2). When a short circuit fault occurs, it most often means a ‘hot wire’ has been displaced or the insulation around it has worn away(*3). It also means electricity is still moving through the wire, which is why it is so dangerous. As electricity continues to stream through the wire, it causes safety switches and breakers to continuously trip.
