Tripping circuits, dead sockets, and unexplained RCD trips are signs of an underlying fault that needs diagnosing before it becomes a safety issue. Smart Choice Sparks uses test equipment to trace faults methodically across Hampshire and Berkshire, identifies the root cause, and carries out the repair — rather than applying a temporary fix.
Matthew discusses the symptoms with you — when the fault started, which circuits are affected, and what you have already tried.
Test equipment is used to measure insulation resistance, continuity, and earth fault current on the affected circuits.
The fault location is identified and Matthew advises on the repair options and costs.
The repair is carried out and circuits are retested before being returned to service.
A persistently tripping RCD usually indicates either a faulty appliance leaking current to earth, deteriorating cable insulation, or a wiring fault somewhere on the circuit. Removing appliances one by one can sometimes isolate the cause, but a proper test with the right equipment is the reliable way to find it.
