Your local electricians in Pontprennau
Newer homes still trip. Usually it is an appliance, water or an add-on.
Most Pontprennau homes were built from the 1990s onwards, with modern consumer units and RCD protection. That protection is sensitive by design, so a single faulty appliance, a wet outdoor socket or a poorly connected add-on can trip a whole bank of circuits.
We find the real culprit, whether that is in the house, the garage or the garden, rather than just resetting and hoping. If something added later, such as garden lighting or a charger, is causing the problem, we put it right.
Common call-outs in Pontprennau:
- RCD tripping half the house
- Outdoor socket faults
- Garage and integral garage power
- Faulty appliances tripping
- Garden lighting failures
- EV charger issues

What to do in the first few minutes, while a qualified electrician is on the way to you.
Switch off at the main switch
If it is safe to reach and your hands are dry, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. That cuts power to the whole property.
Do not touch anything damaged
Keep away from sockets, switches or cables that are sparking, hot, buzzing or wet. Never try to fix them yourself.
Unplug what you safely can
If one circuit keeps tripping, unplug the appliances on it. A faulty kettle, heater or washing machine is often the cause.
Check if neighbours have power
If the whole street is dark it is a network fault. Call 105 to report it to the network operator. If it is only you, call us.
Smoke or fire: get out, call 999
If you see smoke or flames, leave the property straight away and call 999. Do not go back in. Call us once everyone is safe.
Call us and keep everyone clear
Tell us what you can see, hear or smell. We will talk you through staying safe and give you an honest arrival time.
Warning signs
Scorch marks, buzzing or a hot smell from your board?
Switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so, keep clear, and call us straight away. Damage like this is exactly what we are called out to fix.

Your questions, answered
Common questions from customers in Pontprennau. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
Our house is fairly new. Why does it keep tripping?
Modern RCDs trip quickly when they detect current leaking to earth, which is usually caused by a faulty appliance, water in an outside fitting or damaged cable. We track it down.
The tripping started after we fitted garden lights. Is that the cause?
Quite possibly. Outdoor fittings that are not sealed properly, or are connected without suitable protection, are a common cause. We test them and make them safe.
Can you come out at night from the city?
Yes. Pontprennau is quick to reach from the A48 and M4, and we attend 24 hours a day.
