FAQs
How can I tell if my home or business has faulty wiring?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped circuit-breakers, buzzing or crackling sounds behind walls, flickering lights, hot or discoloured power points, a persistent burning smell, or shocks when you touch appliances. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Mascot property, turn off the affected circuit if possible and arrange an inspection by a licensed electrician straight away.
What dangers are associated with leaving faulty wiring unrepaired?
Damaged or deteriorated wiring can overheat and spark, dramatically increasing the risk of electrical fires. It can also energise metal surfaces, leading to severe electric shock or electrocution. In addition, faulty wiring often forces circuits to work harder, shortening the life of appliances and increasing your electricity bills. Prompt professional repair keeps your occupants safe and your electrical system efficient.
Can I repair faulty wiring myself or should I hire a licensed Mascot electrician?
Under NSW law, any work that involves altering fixed wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical repairs are illegal and extremely dangerous. Our qualified technicians follow AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, carry full insurance, and provide a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on completion, giving you legal protection and peace of mind.
How much does it cost to repair faulty wiring in Mascot?
Costs vary with the scope of work. A simple replacement of a damaged power point might start around $150–$200, while tracing and rewiring an overloaded circuit could range from $500 to $1,500. Full rewiring of an older home may exceed $5,000. We offer upfront, itemised quotes after a site assessment so you know the exact price before we begin.
Will I lose power to my entire property during the repair?
Not necessarily. For localised faults—such as a burnt outlet or a single damaged circuit—we can isolate just that circuit at the switchboard while leaving the rest of your premises powered. For larger jobs, short planned outages may be required. We always schedule shutdowns at times that minimise disruption and keep you informed every step of the way.
Do you provide emergency faulty-wiring repairs in Mascot, and how quickly can you attend?
Yes. We operate a 24/7 emergency service for Mascot and surrounding suburbs. In urgent situations such as sparking cables or a total power outage, our on-call electrician can usually be on site within one hour. We’ll make the area safe immediately, carry out temporary repairs if needed, and then organise a permanent fix at the earliest possible time.
