When is electrical fault finding needed?

If a breaker trips regularly, part of the apartment has no power, sockets or lights are not working, or contacts are heating up, the cause must be found first.

Does diagnosis always mean rewiring?

No. The cause is found first. The solution may be a local repair, fixing a connection, board work or a larger wiring upgrade.

What to do in case of smoke or fire?

In case of smoke, fire or immediate danger to life, call 112. An electrician is called once the situation is safe.

When this service fits

This service is for situations where there is already a fault but the cause is not yet clear. It is different from a planned rewiring or board replacement.

The cause may be overload, a damaged circuit, a connection or a single appliance.

Circuits, sockets, lighting and distribution in the board are checked.

The problem may be in a point, switch, connection or a section of wiring.

Heat, smell or discolouration is a dangerous sign that must not be left unchecked.

After renovation, drilling or moisture it is important to know whether a cable has been damaged.

Diagnosis helps decide whether a local repair is enough or rewiring is needed.

Which service to choose next

We record the symptoms: when the breaker trips and which rooms or points are affected.

Questions

Can a full rewiring be avoided?

Often yes. The cause is found first, and the repair scope is chosen after the diagnosis.

Can you give an exact price in advance?

The final cost depends on the cause of the fault and access to the problem area. We give the price after the diagnosis.

Is this for a power cut in the whole building?

If there is no power in the whole building or area, first check the network operator's information. Korteri Elektrik deals with problems within the apartment.
