Signs you may need an electrician
Signs that your home may need to be examined by a licensed electrician include:
- Constant trips: If the power to your home is constantly tripping, it indicates that there could be a fault in your circuit breaker or the connecting wires. An overloaded or short circuit is a potential fire hazard and should be addressed as soon as possible.
- Flickering lights: When your lights are constantly dimming or flickering, it could indicate that there is faulty wiring, especially if it’s more noticeable when other appliances are on.
- Burning smells: The scent of something burning in your home could indicate many different electrical problems. A component could be overheating, or an exposed wire could be touching a flammable surface.
- Buzzing noises: Hearing a buzzing noise from your lights or other appliances can indicate that a wire is loose or other issues. Some appliances may also make a buzzing noise if they are malfunctioning.
- Outdated components: Certain electrical components may be affected by aging, such as old wires. Others may become out of date, such as ceramic fuses. These components are potential hazards and should be addressed by a qualified professional.
- High electricity bills: If your home is using older, inefficient appliances or certain components are malfunctioning, like wires, you could be using more power than you intend to.

Frequently asked questions
Do electricians need to be licensed and insured?
Yes, in Australia, an electrician needs to be fully licensed and insured to operate legally and guarantee a greater level of safety.
Climate Plus is a fully qualified and insured electrical services provider, holding an Electrical Contractor licence in addition to our other licences and accreditations:
- An Australian Refrigeration Council Refrigerant Handling Licence
- A Plumbing, Draining and Gasfitting Contractor Licence (ACT)
- We are also accredited for solar PV installations and battery installation by Solar Accreditation Australia
Do electricians do light fittings?
Yes, electricians are typically responsible for installing, changing or repairing light fittings. Electricians handle light fittings because working with any sort of electricity can be dangerous and requires an expert who understands the proper compliance and safety standards.
How do I know if my home needs an electrical health inspection?
Additional signs that your home could be due for an electrical inspection include:
- Your home is over 25 years old.
- You are selling your home or have just bought a new one.
- Your powerpoints are melted or noticeably discoloured.
- Your property has just been through an extreme weather event, like a heavy storm or other natural disasters.
What is involved in a switchboard upgrade?
A switchboard upgrade involves replacing an old or outdated switchboard with a newer model. The process typically starts with assessing the existing switchboard along with the property. During this stage, the electrician will also determine if there are any hazards or deficiencies.
If an upgrade is needed from there, the electrician will disconnect the power supply and remove the old switchboard. Old, outdated or dangerous components like ceramic fuses could also be removed at this stage.
Finally, the new switchboard will be rewired and installed to the proper compliance and safety standards. The circuit breakers and safety switches may also be upgraded if necessary.
Why do my circuit breakers keep tripping?
There are many causes for a circuit breaker to trip, including:
- Circuit overload: If too many devices are plugged into a circuit, it may overload, causing the power to trip.
- Short circuit: When a live or exposed wire accidentally touches another hot or neutral wire, it may cause a power trip.
- Ground faults: Your electricity may be travelling to the ground through an unintended path, due to faulty appliances or malfunctioning wires.
- Old circuit breaker: Typically, a circuit breaker is meant to trip for safety reasons. However, an old or faulty breaker may be tripping too easily due to wear and tear.
What should I do in an electrical emergency?
Turn off the main power if it’s safe to do so, and call Climate Plus immediately on 02 6185 5151. Our team is prepared to handle electrical emergencies, ensuring your safety and the integrity of your property.
