Electrical outages have different source causes. They differ mainly depending on the precise location where the breakdown is located. It is therefore possible that the electrical problem is generalized or partial. Malfunctions in the electrical network can also concern specific equipment and even electrical appliances. Depending on the nature of the electrical breakdown, repair technicians carry out various interventions to bring the installations up to standard. Focus on these most common electrical problems among individuals.
Circuit breaker and fuse problems
Among the services which require the intervention of a Brussels electrical repair company, there will mainly be problems with circuit breakers and fuses. Please note that these devices are triggered when an anomaly occurs in the electrical network. They cut especially when there is a strong increase or decrease in the voltage circulating within the installation. Therefore, it is obligatory to intervene occasionally at the level of these devices, but also in the rest of the connected installations.
Simply reset the circuit breakers to restore power. However, the electrical problem may recur if the anomalies are not completely resolved. Thus, the electrician will carry out complete checks of the devices and wires which are connected to the circuit breaker. Sometimes, it is possible that the voltage is not sufficient for the connected equipment. It is also possible that the wires are exposed and causing a short circuit. In the case of a fuse, it must be replaced to restore power.
Lighting failures
Lighting failures are also very common in homes. They will also have different origins depending on the case. Most often, lighting fixtures have their own defects, that is to say, they burn out on their own. These phenomena are visibly produced by the obsolescence of the lighting fixtures. However, it is also possible that the equipment is not certified and does not meet the required quality standards.
Light fixtures that frequently explode are not, however, linked to quality defects. Indeed, in these cases, they experience too high or too low tensions which lead to their dysfunction. THE electricians can no longer intervene punctually on a light point as a result. They will look for the source causes at the level of the wired installations. Furthermore, they will check whether the maximum number of light points on the branch is not exceeded.
Hardware failures: sockets and wires
Breakdowns at sockets and wires are the most dangerous in an electrical installation. In fact, these are the devices that are in the most contact with the occupants. The risk of electrocution is therefore very high. In addition, it is from the sockets and wires that fires start.
Any problems with sockets and wires must therefore be the subject of intervention by a professional electrician. Electrical repairers often carry out replacements. However, they will always redirect towards the source causes of the dysfunction. Indeed, no matter what new equipment is installed, it will break down again if the problem is not definitively resolved.
