Fault finder
Where is the electrical problem?
Most home electrical problems trace back to one of five places. Tap each one to see the signs and the usual fix.
Supply & meter
Problems that affect the whole house often start at the service line or meter. Some are T&TEC's to fix, some need an electrician.
- Whole house dim or flickering
- Power off while neighbours have it
- Call T&TEC for supply, an electrician for your side
Breaker panel
The panel protects every circuit. Old, overloaded or loose panels trip constantly and can overheat.
- Breakers tripping or feeling hot
- Rust or scorch marks inside
- Fixed by repairs or a panel upgrade
Wiring
Old, damaged or undersized wiring in walls and ceilings is a hidden fire risk, especially with ACs added later.
- Burning smell with no clear source
- Rats in the ceiling chewing cables
- Fixed by repairing or rewiring circuits
Outlets & switches
Loose or worn outlets overheat. Overloaded ones melt plugs. Two-pin outlets have no ground protection.
- Warm or discoloured outlets
- Plugs falling out, sparks when plugging in
- Fixed by replacing outlets or adding circuits
Lights & fixtures
Flickering or buzzing lights can be a bulb, a switch or a loose connection in the fixture.
- Flicker in one room only
- Buzzing from switches or fittings
- Fixed by tightening or replacing the fitting or switch

Six rules for hiring an electrician in Trinidad
Electrical work done wrong is a fire risk, not just a nuisance. These rules keep you safe.
Use a licensed wireman
Inspection applications need a licensed wireman. Ask to see the licence.
Price first
Agree the price, materials and what's included before work starts.
Label the panel
Every breaker should be labelled so you can switch off the right circuit fast.
Photograph hidden wiring
Before walls and ceilings are closed, take photos of where cables run.
Test before paying
Check every outlet, light and breaker works before the final payment.
Keep the paperwork
Receipts, inspection certificates and any warranty on parts.

Questions
Electrical in Trinidad: common questions
How does Electrician Done Right TT work?
Call or WhatsApp us with your area and the problem or job. We pass it to an independent local electrician who covers your part of Trinidad, and you get a price before any work starts.
How much does an electrician cost in Trinidad?
It depends on the job, the materials and how urgent it is. Small repairs cost far less than rewiring. You'll get a price before work starts.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or a wiring fault. If it keeps happening, have it checked rather than resetting it again and again.
Do I need an inspection before T&TEC connects power?
Yes. The Government Electrical Inspectorate must inspect and certify a building's wiring before T&TEC connects it for the first time.
Is it safe to use extension cords for my AC?
No. ACs should be on a dedicated circuit. Extension cords can overheat with heavy loads.
Which areas of Trinidad do you cover?
Chaguanas, Port of Spain, San Fernando, Arima, Penal, Diego Martin and the towns around them, including Couva, Cunupia, Marabella, Tunapuna and St. Augustine.
Do you work on businesses?
Yes. Shops, offices, restaurants and apartment buildings can book repairs, upgrades and inspections.
