Electrical advice without the jargon.
Practical guidance for common domestic electrical problems.
RCD keeps tripping?
Repeated tripping can indicate a fault on a circuit or appliance. Avoid repeatedly resetting it without investigating the cause.
Hot or damaged accessories
If a socket, switch or fitting is unusually hot, damaged or smells burnt, stop using it and get it checked.
Lighting faults
Flickering, intermittent or repeatedly failing lighting can have several causes.
Important: never remove covers or expose live electrical parts to take a photo or investigate a fault.
