How much does fault finding cost?
Standard attendance and the first hour is $149 inc GST, then $37.50 per 15 minutes. We find the fault, explain it in plain English and give you the price to fix it before we start.
Why does my safety switch keep tripping?
The usual causes are a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor power point or light, or damaged cable. See safety switch keeps tripping for what to check first.
Part of my house has no power. What should I check?
Check the switchboard for a tripped safety switch or circuit breaker. If neighbours are out too, check the Energex outage finder. See power out: what to check.
