Repairs & Short Circuits
Accurate diagnosis and immediate treatment of short circuits, load problems and circuit breakers that trip constantly.
About the Service
When the power at home stops working or the residual current device trips repeatedly, it's not just a nuisance – it's a safety hazard requiring immediate attention. Electrical faults can stem from a faulty appliance, old and worn wiring, circuit overload, or moisture causing current leakage. Our team arrives with advanced fault detection equipment (megohmmeter, circuit tracers) and performs systematic, accurate diagnosis until the source is identified. After locating the fault, we perform a thorough repair that addresses the root cause – not just the symptom – to prevent recurrence.
What's Included?
- Immediate availability
- Advanced fault detection equipment
- Thorough repair to prevent recurrence
When Do You Need This Service?
- No power in the entire house or in some rooms
- The circuit breaker trips repeatedly after resetting
- Burning smell, sparks, or unusual heat from a socket or switch
- Water heater or air conditioner suddenly stopped working
- Flickering lights or unexplained dimming
Our Work Process
- Initial diagnosis – The electrician checks the panel, disconnects circuits one by one to isolate the fault source. Professional measuring equipment is used to detect shorts and current leaks.
- Repair – After identifying the cause, a targeted repair is performed: replacing damaged wiring, fixing a faulty socket/switch, replacing a burnt breaker, or disconnecting a faulty appliance.
- Testing & verification – Restarting the entire system, measuring insulation, and confirming the fault doesn't return. Providing recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Pricing & What Affects It
An electrician visit during regular hours (including diagnosis and basic repair up to 20 minutes) starts from ₪300. Emergency visits on Shabbat, holidays or nights start from ₪550. Short circuit detection (up to one hour of work) from ₪450. The final price depends on complexity: fault type, wiring accessibility, and need for spare parts. All prices exclude VAT.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician visit cost for a fault repair?
An electrician visit during regular hours starts from ₪300 and includes diagnosis and basic repair (up to 20 minutes of work). Emergency visits during non-standard hours (Shabbat, holidays, nights) start from ₪550 – a special rate due to out-of-hours availability. If additional work beyond diagnosis is required, you'll receive a detailed quote before work begins. All prices exclude VAT and may vary by geographic area.
What to do when the circuit breaker keeps tripping?
A frequently tripping circuit breaker indicates a problem requiring professional diagnosis. Common causes: damaged insulation in old wiring, a faulty appliance causing current leakage, moisture in a socket or junction box, or an RCD that has reached end of life (recommended replacement every 10 years). The electrician performs systematic testing – disconnecting circuits one by one to isolate the fault source. Never ignore a tripping RCD – it protects you from electrocution.
How long does it take to find a short circuit?
Finding a short circuit takes between 30 minutes to an hour in most standard cases. In more complex cases – such as wiring embedded in walls, old infrastructure without documentation, or intermittent faults – the process may take longer. Using advanced equipment (megohmmeter, circuit tracers) speeds up the process and enables precise detection without unnecessary demolition. Short circuit detection starts from ₪450 depending on case complexity.
