Why does the breaker trip?
Possible causes, safe checks and when an electrician should inspect the circuit.
Boiler leaks water
What pressure drops, visible water or damp marks near the boiler can indicate.
Air conditioner not cooling
Filters, settings, outdoor unit, refrigerant symptoms and when inspection is needed.
Toilet keeps running
Why water keeps flowing, what to observe and when the cistern mechanism needs repair.
RCD trips in the meter box
What an RCD trip in the street meter and protection box can mean.
Socket gets hot
Bad contact, high load, loose cable or faulty appliance.
Lights flicker
Possible causes in bulb, switch, circuit or supply.
Boiler does not start
Pressure, power supply, gas, thermostat or error codes.
Radiator cold or partially warm
Air, valves, hydraulic balancing or deposits in the installation.
Low water pressure
Filters, faucets, leaks, vertical pipes or supply issues.
Drain or sewer blocked
Signs of blockage and when plumbing service is needed.
Air conditioner leaks water
Condensate drain, installation, filters or temperature differences.
Booster pump starts often
Air pressure, pressure switch, installation leaks or faulty tank.
Solar inverter error
Error codes, protections, grid, panels or communication issues.
Socket not working
No voltage, tripped protection, loose contact or interrupted circuit.
Breaker trips when the water heater starts
Faulty heating element, short circuit, weak insulation or overloaded circuit.
Electrical panel smells burnt
Heated contacts, faulty breakers or loose connections inside the panel.
RCD will not reset
Current leakage, moisture, faulty appliance or circuit insulation issue.
Boiler loses pressure
Leak in installation, expansion vessel, safety valve or air vent.
Boiler displays an error code
The error code can indicate gas, pressure, exhaust, pump, ignition or sensor issues.
Radiator leaking
Valve, air vent, plug, fitting or radiator body leak.
Faucet dripping
Cartridge, gasket, worn faucet or unsuitable pressure.
Shower hot water fluctuates
Mixer, pressure, boiler, flow or deposits in heat exchanger.
Submersible pump not starting
Power supply, pressure switch, float, protection, cable or blocked pump.
Booster pump does not stop
Leak in installation, pressure switch setting, tank without air or worn pump.
Air conditioner smells bad
Dirty filters, condensate tray, drain, mold or lack of cleaning.
Air conditioner remote not working
Batteries, IR sensor, locked remote, receiver or electronic board.
Heat pump not heating
Settings, flow, antifreeze, sensors, defrost or refrigerant.
Solar panels produce less than expected
Shading, dirt, faulty string, inverter limitation or unsuitable orientation.
Water service connection leak
Meter pit, valve, pipe, fitting or buried leak.
