Electrician in Skellefteå
Fixed price SEK 2,195 for up to two hours of fault finding on site — you know the cost before we arrive. We measure our way to the fault, explain the cause and resolve it in the same visit in most cases.
The most common causes are moisture in a back-box, a faulty appliance or a damaged cable. We disconnect circuit by circuit and measure until the fault is pinpointed — methodically, not randomly.
Tripping even when most things are turned off? That usually points to leakage currents that have built up over time — an aged heating cable, moisture in an outdoor socket or an appliance left on standby. Those faults require instruments to find.
An overloaded circuit or an appliance with an internal fault. We find out which — and if the circuit needs relieving with a new one you will get a fixed price before anything is done.
Turn off the circuit in question and book fault finding straight away. A burning smell often comes from a hot back-box or loose connection — and a loose connection only gets worse with time. This is a fault you should not wait with.
In older fuse boxes it is not always the fuse that is the problem — worn fuse holders and uneven loading also cause trouble. We find the cause, and if the box is worn out you will get a fixed price for a replacement with a modern consumer unit.
Flickering lighting in several rooms simultaneously may be a loose connection at a central junction — something that should be investigated, not ignored. If it is just one fitting it is usually simpler. We determine which on site.
If the MCB trips again immediately when you try to reset it, the fault is still in the circuit — often in a connected appliance or in the cable itself. Unplug everything possible; if that does not help, measurement is needed.
