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

Questions
Electrical Repairs: common questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually too many appliances on one circuit, a faulty appliance, or a short or ground fault in the wiring. An electrician can test which.
Is a warm outlet dangerous?
Yes. A warm outlet or switch often means a loose connection that can overheat. Stop using it and get it checked.
Why do my lights flicker?
It can be a loose bulb, a bad switch, a loose connection or a supply problem. If it affects the whole house, call T&TEC as well.
Do you do emergency electrical repairs?
Call or WhatsApp. Urgent safety problems are prioritised where an electrician is available.
