Signs That You Need Residential Electrician Services In Brisbane

Signs That You Need Residential Electrician Services In Brisbane

Flickering Or Dimming Lights

Flickering lights are not that big of a problem. You can replace them with a new one. However, if the lights only flicker or get dimmed when another particular appliance is turned on, it’s a sign of circuit overload and faulty wiring. Changing the light bulbs is not going to help you at all. Your house needs professional attention as soon as possible.

Buzzing Sound From Electrical Outlets

No electrical system should make noise while working. If you hear continuous crackling or buzzing sounds from electrical outlets, it indicates loose wiring. If the issue isn’t addressed immediately, it can lead to a traumatic fire hazard. Turn off the main power source and call an electrician right away.

Persistent Electrical Shocks

Do you feel mild shocks or tingling sensations when touching an appliance or switch in your house? If yes, then you are at great risk of electrocution during a thunderstorm. Such issues usually arise due to poor grounding or wiring issues. You may also notice these appliances spark electricity when getting plugged in or out. Get an electrician and fix the loose wiring.

High Energy Bill All Of A Sudden

If your electrical bills have gone up all of a sudden for no valid reason, it’s time to ask for a home inspection. Oftentimes, faulty appliances draw too much electricity to simply operate. Book an appointment with your trusted local electrician to find out which appliance is causing this havoc.

Outdated Electrical System

Brisbane’s local safety regulations for electrical systems have been updated multiple times. If you’re still using the original wiring of your home, you’ll likely need to repair or replace various electrical gadgets frequently. Additionally, if you want to install smart home appliances, they may not fit or function correctly with outdated wiring. Only a re-wiring planned by a licensed residential electrician can solve this problem.

Power Point Installation And Repair

It’s a hassle using extension cords every time you need to use an appliance. You can simply get additional power points drilled into the walls for your devices.

Avoid potential fatalities by booking Connex Electrical to add or upgrade power points in convenient locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does A Residential Electrician Do?

A residential electrician specializes in installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting electrical systems around a house. You can book them if you have to rewire your apartment, install an electrical device, get a safety inspection, etc.

How Often Should I Book An Electrical Safety Inspection For My Home?

It’s generally acceptable to get a routine electrical safety inspection by professionals every 3 to 5 years. If you are about to sell or buy an apartment, it’s also a good time to inspect the electrical system beforehand. After any major renovations of the apartment or condominium, it’s recommended to book a safety inspection.

Can Residential Electricians Install Energy-Efficient Lighting?

If your main concern is lowering the monthly electricity bill by switching to energy-efficient lighting, residential electricians are more than capable of doing so. Usually, electricians recommend LEDs as they are more cost-effective in the long run.

How Do I Know If My Home Needs Rewiring?

If the circuit breakers tip frequently, it's a sign of an old wiring system. Houses older than 25-30 years come with traditional aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, which is simply not compatible with modern electrical outlets.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Residential Electrician In Brisbane?

The standard call-out fee is anywhere between AUD 50 to $100. The actual residential electrician cost depends on the complexity of the job. But on average, the hourly rate lies between $80 to $130.
