Mel is a real gentleman. Collected my 2 lamps that required rewiring within an hour or two. They were dropped off to me in less than 24 hours. Mel explained what he had done, rewired & showed me they were working. Any further handy person work that I require. I'll be asking Mel. Thank you for your utmost professionalism, Mel.

Electrician Required – Power Trip Issue

$50

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

20th Jun 2026

Issue Description: The circuit breaker keeps tripping in our commercial food court store. We have tested multiple appliances individually, and they appear to be working normally. Based on our testing: * Power trips immediately when equipment is plugged into the P12 wall outlets. * The issue affects multiple sockets in the P12 area. * A chiller/fridge also causes the breaker to trip when connected to P12, but works when plugged into a different power point (P11). * Other appliances, including microwaves and rice cookers, do not appear to be faulty. Suspected Cause: Possible fault with the P12 power circuit, wiring, or wall outlets rather than the appliances themselves.
