Safe Electrical Repairs
Every repair starts with isolating the circuit at the distribution board and testing it is dead. Loose terminals are the most common cause of warm or crackling switches.
Faults that trip breakers repeatedly or affect whole circuits need a full electrical inspection rather than a quick swap.
For bigger electrical jobs, see minor electrical repairs. For new points, see outlet and dimmer installation, and for walls, water-damaged drywall repair.
