When Power Starts Playing Up

You don’t usually lose power all at once. It starts small. A circuit trips here and there. Something cuts out when too much is running. You reset it, it works again, then it happens a few days later. That’s usually a sign something in the system isn’t coping.


At OHMY Electrical Contractors, you’re dealing with an electrician in Carindale who looks past the surface issue and works out what’s actually causing it. Sometimes it’s load building up over time, sometimes it’s something added onto an existing circuit, and sometimes it’s just parts wearing out.


It’s also common in homes where things have been changed over the years without upgrading what’s behind it. New appliances go in, but the wiring stays the same. Once that’s clear, the fix tends to stick instead of becoming a repeat issue.

Why Choose Us?

Most electrical issues come down to how the system has been used over time. It’s not always one clear fault. It’s things being added, circuits being pushed harder, or setups that never got updated to match how the space is used now.


Before we change anything, we look at how everything is working together, not just the part that stopped. That’s what helps us avoid fixing the same issue twice.


Here’s what we focus on:


  • Finding the cause before replacing anything
  • Avoiding quick fixes that don’t last
  • Making sure circuits aren’t carrying too much load
  • Adjusting setups to suit how the space is used
  • Picking up issues that haven’t failed yet
  • Leaving everything tested & safe to use


Taking that approach usually means fewer repeat problems. It also makes a difference long term, especially in homes where things have been added gradually without upgrades behind the scenes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why does my power trip when everything’s on?

    When multiple appliances run at the same time, they can push a circuit past its limit. This is common in older homes where wiring wasn’t designed for modern usage. The system shuts off to prevent damage, which is why the breaker keeps tripping under heavier load.

  • What’s the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?

    A fuse melts when overloaded and needs replacing, while a circuit breaker trips and can be reset. Older properties often still have fuses, which don’t offer the same level of protection or convenience as modern switchboards with circuit breakers and safety switches.

  • Why do some outlets stop working but others don’t?

    Outlets are usually grouped on the same circuit, so if one part fails, it can affect only that section. It could be a loose connection, damaged wiring or a fault further along the line. Testing the circuit helps pinpoint exactly where the issue sits.

  • Is it normal for lights to buzz or hum?

    No, buzzing or humming usually points to a problem. It can be caused by loose wiring, faulty fittings or incompatible dimmers. While it might seem minor, it’s worth getting checked, as it can indicate underlying electrical issues that could worsen over time.
