- Loose, warm or scorched connections made safe
Available across the entire Algarve.
When to call an electrician
A socket that feels hot, a circuit that repeatedly trips, flickering lights or a switch that has stopped working should be checked rather than repeatedly reset. We test the circuit, isolate the cause and explain the repair before work begins.
Common questions
Why has a socket stopped working?
Usually a tripped breaker or RCD, a loose connection or a faulty socket. Check the board first. If a reset does not hold, or the socket is warm, scorched or smells of burning, stop using it and have the circuit tested.
Is it safe to keep resetting a breaker that trips?
No. A breaker or RCD that trips again is reacting to a fault, an overload or moisture. Switch off the affected appliance and ask an electrician to find the cause rather than resetting it repeatedly.
