Electrical fault finding services
Blown fuses and circuit tripping can happen at any time, leaving you without power. As a CHAS and Construction Line-affiliated supplier of electrical systems, we’re experts in finding the root cause.
Most electrical faults can be traced back to issues with RCDs, fuse board issues, and blown fuses, but our tracing services keep an open mind to ensure that the real problem can be identified and resolved.
Check out our advice on whether you need RCD protection for all circuits.
According to the HSE, more than 1,000 electricity-related injuries in the workplace are reported each year. We ensure your business doesn’t become one of these statistics by using our six-step process:
1. Observe the problem.
2. Analyse the symptoms.
3. Identify the root cause.
4. Determine the best way to deal with the issue.
5. Repair the problem.
6. Test and re-check to ensure everything functions as it should.
We go through each stage meticulously to guarantee that one call is all it takes to address any electrical problem.

Common commercial and industrial electrical faults
No matter where you are, the risk of electrical faults and hazards is always there. Even if you’re considered a low-risk environment from an electrical safety perspective, regular maintenance gives you peace of mind that electrical faults won’t disrupt your day-to-day operations.
Some of the most common electrical faults we deal with in commercial and industrial settings include:
· Sparking – Sparks flying indicate there’s something wrong with the socket or the electrical appliance itself. Cut the power and unplug the device immediately before contacting a professional to investigate the problem, as this is a fire hazard.
· Unpleasant Odours – Odd smells are normal the first few times a brand-new appliance is used, but if they persist, it could indicate an issue with the appliance or outlet. It’s often a sign of faulty wiring, but it could be something else.
· Buzzing Sounds – Buzzing and humming are something we naturally associate with electricity, but it isn’t supposed to make these sounds. Frayed wires and loose connections are just some of the potential issues that could cause this problem.
· Tripped Circuit Breakers – Circuit breakers are there to protect your business and prevent damage to installations and appliances. However, if it happens often, it could indicate an overloading problem, which could be linked to you using more power than your unit’s amp rating.
· Dim/Flickering Lights – Lighting fixtures use a minute amount of power, relatively speaking. If they’re dim or flickering, you likely have a faulty circuit on your hands. This could necessitate replacing the fixture or repairing an issue with the wiring or circuit.
Most of these problems are nothing to worry about and can be resolved with a quick visit from a qualified electrician. However, before you’re tempted to put it off, they could also be the early warning signs of an electrical catastrophe.
Electrical problems must be viewed with the utmost seriousness. Upon noticing a problem, turn off the relevant appliance or socket and call Wells Electrical as soon as possible.
