Which electrical problem sounds like yours?

No power in the house?

Total power loss can be urgent, especially at night, during bad weather or when security systems and fridges are affected.

DB board keeps tripping?

Repeated tripping often points to a fault that needs proper electrical fault finding before it becomes dangerous.

Burning smell or sparking plug?

Smoke, sparks, heat or a burning smell should be treated as an electrical safety warning.

Need help after hours?

Electrical problems rarely choose office hours. Tell Pete what is happening and how urgent it is.
