Common electricians problems and solutions in Subiaco 6008

These are the most frequent issues Subiaco 6008 homeowners encounter that require a electricians, along with whether each is a realistic DIY repair or a job for a licensed professional.

Safety switch (RCD) keeps tripping Hire a pro

A safety switch that trips repeatedly indicates a fault — either a genuine earth leakage on the circuit or an ageing appliance drawing excessive current. You can isolate which circuit is at fault by unplugging appliances one by one, but investigating and repairing the underlying wiring fault must be done by a licensed electrician. Never tape a safety switch open.

Flickering or dimming lights Hire a pro

Occasional flickering is often a loose globe or a dimmer incompatible with LED lamps. Persistent flickering across multiple circuits can signal a loose neutral connection in the switchboard — a fire risk that requires urgent attention from a licensed electrician. Replacing a globe is DIY; anything inside the fitting or switchboard is not.

Power point or light switch not working Hire a pro

A dead power point is often caused by a tripped circuit breaker or safety switch — check the switchboard first and reset any tripped breakers. If the breaker keeps tripping, or if the outlet is physically damaged or discoloured, it must be replaced by a licensed electrician. In Australia, it is illegal to replace or rewire a power point or switch without an electrical licence.

Overloaded circuits at the switchboard Hire a pro

Older Australian homes — particularly those built before the 1980s — often have undersized switchboards with ceramic fuses that can't safely carry modern appliance loads. Signs include circuit breakers tripping under normal use and warm fuse holders. A switchboard upgrade to modern safety switches (RCDs) and circuit breakers requires a licensed electrician and typically costs $1,800–$4,500 depending on panel size.

No power to part of the house Hire a pro

A complete loss of power to one or more rooms is usually a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse in older boards — resetting the breaker is a safe first step. If the breaker won't stay on, or if you find a blown fuse, a licensed electrician should inspect the circuit before it is re-energised to identify why it failed.
