Electrical Earthing Services in Adelaide

Some of our frequently asked questions

Earthing is one of the less obvious parts of your home's electrical system, so it's no surprise these questions come up a lot.

What is electrical earthing?

It's the connection between your home's electrical system and the ground. It gives fault current somewhere safe to go, which is what protects you from electric shock and helps safety switches trip when they should.

Is an earthing issue dangerous?

Yes. A poor or missing earth means your safety switches may not operate correctly in a fault, and metal surfaces like taps and appliance casings can become live.

Do older Adelaide homes need earthing checks?

Many homes in Adelaide need earthing checks. Homes built before the 1980s often have outdated earthing systems that don't meet current standards, and some have no earthing at all on certain circuits.

Can you fix an earthing fault on the same visit?

In most cases, yes. Once we've identified the issue, we'll quote the repair on the spot and get it done the same day where possible.

Had a problem with a leaking toilet. Contacted "your local tradesman", given an arrival time for a plumber to attend & review the problem. Plumber arrived on time this morning at 7.30am, & advised what the problem may be. We decided to replace the toilet system due to its age, he checked suppliers, ordered the new unit and it was installed this afternoon by 3.00pm. I am very impressed with the price, and service. Very Highly recommend this plumbing service.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Allan, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that our plumber was prompt and provided you with great service. It's fantastic that you were impressed with the price and the quick turnaround for your new toilet installation. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

We have met 5 different tradesmen over the past week, including one on work experience. All were lovely, polite, courteous and worked very efficiently. We had both electrical and plumbing work done including new taps, water filter, new toilet and external electrical socket. It was so easy to organise the work from making the initial call to arranging the subsequent appointments needed. Excellent communication via email and texts. We are now members and will be using Your Local Tradesman in the future. Very pleased and satisfied with the work 😊

Response from the owner:Thank you, Vanessa! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with our tradesmen and found the process easy and efficient. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!

Hot water switch had melted and it took a couple of days for me to become aware that it was not heating. The fault was obvious. Electrician checked circuits and found no other faults. He advised that the porcelain fuses needed to be replaced due to the age of the board. From about mid afternoon he ordered replacement parts and completed the installation early evening. I was pleased to have hot water that night and pleased to know my electrical system was safer.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Alan, for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear that the issue was resolved quickly and that you now have hot water and a safer electrical system. Your satisfaction is important to us!
