FAULT FINDING & REPAIRS
When the power keeps tripping or part of the house goes dark, you need someone who finds the actual cause, not someone who guesses and charges you for it. DTW diagnoses electrical faults methodically and fixes them properly the first time.
Hidden faults can be a real safety risk. Getting them sorted early protects your property and your family. If something is sparking or smells hot right now, see the emergency electrician page for what to do first.

FAULT FINDING PROCESS
LISTEN & INSPECT
We start by understanding the symptoms, what trips, when it trips and what was happening beforehand. A visual inspection of the affected areas follows.
TRACE & TEST
Using test equipment we isolate the fault to the exact cable, connection or device. No guesswork, no swapping parts hoping it fixes itself.
FIX AT THE SOURCE
The fault is repaired properly, not reset and monitored. You're told what caused it and what was done, in plain language, before we leave.

FAULT FINDING & REPAIRS FAQs
Can you find an intermittent fault?
Yes. Intermittent faults are the trickiest, but methodical testing tracks them down rather than just resetting the board and hoping.
Do you do after hours repairs?
Urgent electrical faults can be dangerous, call and we'll sort out the quickest safe option, including after hours by arrangement.
Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
It's doing its job, detecting a fault. We find which circuit or appliance is causing it and fix the cause, not just reset it.
Is it safe to use my power while I wait for you?
Depends on the fault. If a safety switch has tripped and won't reset, avoid using that circuit. If you smell burning or see scorch marks, turn the main off and call immediately.
Can you usually fix the fault in one visit?
In most cases, yes. We carry a wide range of parts and materials. If a specialised component is needed we'll source it fast and return as soon as possible.
