Try This First: Free Emergency Electrical Troubleshooting Guide
Before calling an emergency electrician in Liverpool, try these steps. This fixes 40% of electrical problems and could save you money.
1
Check Your Fuse Box (Consumer Unit)
Go to your fuse box and look for the main switch labeled RCD, RCBO, or Residual Current Circuit Breaker. This is usually a larger switch at the top or side of your consumer unit.
💡 Tip: The fuse box is usually located under the stairs, in a cupboard, or in the garage in Liverpool homes.
2
Reset Your Electrical System
Follow this exact order
1. Turn OFF all switches, including the main RCD
2. Turn ON the RCD first (leave individual circuits OFF)
3. Turn each individual circuit ON one by one
4. If the RCD trips when you turn on a specific circuit, that circuit has a fault - leave it OFF
3
Identify the Faulty Circuit
If one circuit keeps tripping the RCD, unplug everything from that circuit (all sockets, lights, appliances) then try resetting the breaker again.
⚠️ Warning: If you smell burning or see sparks, stop immediately and call us on 07399 676656
4
Test Individual Appliances
If unplugging everything fixed the issue, plug items back in one at a time to identify the faulty appliance. The problem is usually
-
A faulty kettle, iron, or heater
-
Water getting into an outdoor socket
-
A damaged extension lead
5
When to Call an Emergency Electrician
