Power Point Repairs

Electrician for Power Point Repairs: Power Points not working correctly, fault finding, wiring repairs, power point replacement

Electrical components like power points and wiring don’t last forever. Over time the power point fitting itself may become faulty and require repair or replacement. In other cases the fault may be traced to no power arriving to that particular power point.

Power Point Fault Finding
An initial diagnostic and testing process will help to determine the cause of the fault and the action required to resolve the issue. An electrician will run through a series of checks to ensure than there is a stable power supply to the power point. If the initial diagnostic determines that there is power supply issue it could be the wiring, a fuse, a circuit breaker, the switchboard or something else within the specific electrical circuit.

Power Point Repairs
Replacement is normally a better option than repair for power point fittings. However, in some cases, where safety is not compromised, repair may be a fast and affordable option.

Power Point Replacement
When the fault is traced to the power point fitting, and it is not able to be repaired cost effectively or safely, replacement is the best option. Power points come in a range of sizes, specifications and colours. For more information on details regarding larger installation projects and upgrades for power points, sockets and outlets visit our specific webpage regarding this service offering.

Our Auckland wide team of registered master electricians are experienced with power point repairs and installations for residential property and commercial buildings.

Interior Light Repairs

Electrician for Interior Light Repairs: Downlights, Ceiling Lights, Wall Lights, Spot Lights, Hall Lights, Stair Lights, Bathroom Lights, Kitchen Lights, Halogen Lights, LED Lights

When your lights are not working correctly (or at all), and it’s not the bulb, you’ll need an electrician to test the electrical circuit and repair the fault. Common faults with interior lights include faulty light fittings and components. These can often be resolved by simply replacing part or all of the light fitting. Other issues may require more extensive repair and replacement.

The age of the components within the electrical circuit may also be a factor in identifying the fault. Within both residential properties and commercial buildings the age of the electrical wiring, switchboard, light fittings and fixtures all have an impact on the performance of lighting. It could be more cost effective and safer to replace a number of the components to ensure faultless operation of interior lights. Common interior light repairs include;

Downlight Repairs
Downlight repairs have become a rather common need in many homes and businesses. Often the fault occurs simply because of a downlight fitting failure. When building or renovation work is originally undertaken, average quality downlights are sometimes installed to keep the cost of the entire project down. Replacing with new fittings can quickly resolve and repair the issue. In fact, new downlight regulations came into effect in May 2012 which help improve the standard of downlight installations.

Spot Light Repairs
Kitchens are a common location for spot lights. Both wall and ceiling mounted spot lights come as single, double, triple and quad fittings. When the fitting has multiple spot lights, it is often easilier to see if it is the fitting or power supply causing the issue. If replacement is the best solution, there is the option to replace with newer style halogen spot lights.

Ceiling & Wall Light Repairs
Ceiling & wall lights depend on both the age of the fitting and the purpose of the light. Regardless of the light fitting (claw, fluorescent, surface or hanging) the process starts with testing the electrical circuit.

Stove Repairs

Electrician for Stove Repairs: Stoves, Ovens, Cooktops, Elements, Lights, Timer & Wiring

Stoves with an electrical fault can make cooking a frustrating experience. Stoves differ greatly in age, make, style and functionality. However, the faults people experience are quite common and often require an electrician to test the power supply, connection, switch, element, circuit breaker, fuse and operation.

Common Stove Faults

      • One element doesn’t work at all
      • All elements not going
      • Element not heating up
      • Oven isn’t heating up
      • Oven light not working
      • Oven timer not working
      • Stove clock isn’t working
      • Stove power outlet/socket not working
      • Oven temperature incorrect

      Stoves are found in the home, rental property, business or workshop. Depending on your situation your requirements may be quite different to other peoples. Differing requirements demand a flexible approach to Stove repairs and servicing. This is where a team of electricians with vast experience in stoves repair, servicing, replacement and installation can help you.

Common Stove Brands we Repair

Sometimes it is uneconomic to repair a stove. Furthermore, at times stoves simply can’t be repaired. When this is the case two replacement options present themselves; a brand new unit or a reconditioned unit. For people wanting an affordable option, a reconditioned unit can be an excellent choice as they often also come with a warranty. Those wanted the extra piece of mind of longer warranty terms, a brand new stove many be a better option. Stoves are wired to the power supply, so either option will require a registered electrician to install the stove.

Good luck in your new role Dave.

With two of our apprentices, Johnny and Cole, nearly out of their apprenticeships it was time for Hall Electrical to look for more “boys” to train. Ben started with us in early August on a trial run and has quickly adapted into his new role.
