  • Electrical Wiring

Most inexperienced electricians may still lack the necessary knowledge required to conduct such electrical installations.

As such, they may inadvertently use electrical wirings of the wrong size and length, which can seriously pose a potential danger to electrical appliances at home.

To avoid such problems, only work with an experienced and licensed electrician in Singapore who are able to install wires with proper dimensions as set by local electrical authorities. Homeowners should also only work with electricians who have undergone the electrical installation course from recognised institutions in Singapore.

Signs That Your Home Needs an Electrical Repair

  • Power Sockets or Electrical Outlets That Stopped Working

Bad wiring, a faulty appliance with a high wattage than the fitting, or short circuits usually cause power sockets and electrical outlets to stop working. Overheating and overloading on power sockets or electrical outlets are not uncommon, but they shouldn’t be happening frequently. Otherwise, it should immediately be fixed by a certified electrician as it might lead to certain home hazards.

Power Trips or Power Failures

Working from home means you’re using the facilities in your home more than usual, and though not because of it, but you may encounter a power trip or power failure more often because now you are around.

How to resolve power tripping problem in Singapore

Power failure in Singapore can be resolved individually through the following means:

power-plug-installation-singapore_wm

1. Resolving Overloaded Circuit problem

It is clear that the reason why a circuit will always break is that too many items are plugged into just one or very few outlets linked to only one circuit. Therefore, if you have more than one power outlet in your house, try to move high current consuming items like driers, iron box, or heaters, to other circuits that are not much or heavily in use.

You can also shut down any device that is not in use, and check on the various outlet wires to see if there is any loose one. Tighten anyone that is loose.

2. Resolve short-circuit power tripping problem

There is not much difference here from the one mentioned above, except in this case; you will have to check out all outlet wiring insulation and see if any of them are cracked or broken, thereby coming into contact with the black or white wires.

Remember to check for possible damages by switching off the power outlets and looking out for any signs of burning or melting. Also, remember to look out for any form of discolouration on those plugs. This way, you can resolve the power failure or electric power trip on your own.

Effects of Power Failure in Singapore

In a “Smart Nation” like Singapore, power failures tend to result in a variety of adverse consequences as online business transactions often come to a halt. People may try to cope by troubleshooting minor cases of power failures such as those in HDB flats, but a large-scale power trip in Singapore commercial buildings need to be attended to by a reliable electrical company as soon as possible.

Importance of emergency electrician Singapore for common households

When a power failure occurs due to a technical fault in electrical wirings in a certain building, the occupants immediately need to contact a trusted electrician to fix the issue. While you’re at it, check if there are any electrical wires hanging from unusual places or if there are any malfunctioning electrical power sockets as these can cause accidents.
