If extended remedial work is necessary, we leave the circuit safely disconnected and outline the next steps. ## Frequently asked questions about fault finding ### Can an electrical fault be resolved on the initial visit? Many common issues, such as faulty socket outlets, damaged light switches, or straightforward circuit overloads, are identified and repaired during the initial testing period when parts and time allow. If a fault is concealed within building fabric or requires non-standard replacement materials, we isolate the circuit safely and explain what is needed. ### What should I do if a circuit breaker keeps tripping? If a circuit breaker or residual current device trips immediately upon resetting, do not force it into the on position. Unplug appliances on that circuit to check if an individual device is responsible. If the switch still trips with appliances removed, leave the switch in the off position and book a diagnostic visit. ### Do you trace electrical faults in commercial buildings? Yes. We carry out fault finding for domestic properties, retail units, offices, and industrial premises. Our testing covers single-phase domestic supplies as well as three-phase commercial distribution boards and equipment across Christchurch. ### How is the cost of fault finding determined? The initial rate accounts for the time spent on site running diagnostic tests to identify the failure. If replacement components or extensive repairs are required, these are priced and confirmed before installation proceeds. ### Are your electrical fault repairs certified? MX2 Electrical is NAPIT registered and TrustMark accredited. Where repairs involve notifiable alterations or new circuit installations, the work is properly certified and registered in accordance with building regulations. ## Other services in Christchurch - [Electrician in Christchurch](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-christchurch): Electrical repairs, inspections and planned installations for homes, landlords and suitable business premises across Christchurch and BH23. - [Electrical fault finding (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding): MX2 Electrical traces electrical faults in Poole and Bournemouth from £70/hr.
