Fault Detection

The fault you detect may become a life saved

It’s probably not a surprise to hear that every year in Australia, thousands of people die from electrocution.
What is surprising is that the largest number of those deaths, come from electrical faults around the home.

As alarming as that is, at Lightning Bult Electrical and Plumbing, when we attend homes for service calls, the majority of them have faults. Sometimes electrical faults are extremely hard to see with the naked eye. In fact, in most cases they are.

At Lightning Bult Electrical and Plumbing, we are able to test for electrical faults, which would certainly otherwise go totally unnoticed. Things like faulty power points, poor wiring, earth leakages, etc.

As dangerous as these scenarios can be, they’re also very preventable. Like most things, it’s knowing what to look for and where to look that makes the difference.

It’s not uncommon to disregard an electrical fault as simply an annoyance, without understanding the severity of the situation, which is why we strongly advise that if you think you may have an issue, small or large, pick up the phone and let Lightning Bult Electrical and Plumbing run some tests.
