Electrical problem

Posted by Lorraine Manley, on
Recently had a new socket wired everthing worked fine for 3 days then switches on fuseboard started to trip. Wiring to the new socket has been undone but the probkem persists, now only the lights or the sockets work at any time can't have both working at once. Any ideas why this might be and how much roughly would it cost to have this sorted?

It might be a coincidence that the circuit is tripping. Try unplugging all plugs from the walls and see if that fixes it. If not it shouldn't take long and therefore not cost much to get an electrician to find the fault, the cost of fixing would depend on the problem. Hope this helps Marcus
