Two kinds of job

Most people know which of these they are before they know which category it falls under.

  • A wall light switch half in shadow on a textured wall.

    ARoute

    Something has stopped working

    A fault, an intermittent problem, or something that trips. The useful first step is describing what happens rather than deciding what it is — the description is what makes the visit efficient.

  • Four back boxes in a wall with conductors drawn through, before the accessories are fitted.

    BRoute

    You want something installed or changed

    New circuits, replacement wiring, or equipment that needs a supply and a fixing. These start from the property rather than from a symptom: what is there now, what is open, and what has to be run.

Five categories. They overlap at the edges — a fault found during maintenance becomes troubleshooting, and troubleshooting often ends in wiring work.

Answers before you call

One hundred guides, written for people who live in or look after a property rather than for electricians. Each answers one question — what a symptom means for what you should do next, how a part of the installation works, or how to choose between two options — and says plainly where the safe limit of doing it yourself is.

04Enquiries

How to describe it

Electrical faults get described badly by almost everybody, because the words are not in general use. "It keeps tripping" covers a dozen different situations.

A switch, a dimmer and a socket on one plate on a green wall.
  1. Which of the five categories it falls under — or that you are not sure, which is a perfectly good answer
  2. What kind of property it is, and whereabouts in Dubai
  3. Whether it is a fault with something existing, or new work you want done
  4. What actually happens, in your own words rather than in trade terms
  5. A photograph of the distribution board — with the cover on — and of whatever is not working. The form has no upload, so send them on WhatsApp instead

Describe what happens rather than what you think it is. The description is what makes the visit efficient.

—Questions

Before you call

Short answers to what people ask before calling an electrician.

When should I call an electrician instead of resetting the breaker?
When a breaker or RCD trips again as soon as it is reset, when anything is hot, scorched or smells of burning, or when part of the property loses power with no obvious cause. A device that keeps tripping is usually protecting you from a fault, so repeated resetting is not the answer.
What electrical work do you cover?
Five kinds of work: general electrical work, electrical wiring and rewiring, installation of lights, sockets, fans and appliances, fault troubleshooting, and scheduled electrical maintenance, for homes and business premises in Dubai.
Do you work in apartments, offices and shops as well as villas?
Yes: villas, townhouses, apartments, offices, shops and warehouses. In towers and managed buildings, building management usually asks for notice or a work permit before electrical work starts, so it helps to check that first.
What should I tell an electrician when I get in touch?
What you notice, where in the property it happens, when it started and whether anything changed around the same time. Photographs of the distribution board and of the affected socket, switch or fitting help.
Which electrical jobs are safe to do myself?
Changing a bulb, or resetting a breaker once after unplugging what was running, is reasonable. Anything that means opening a socket, switch, light fitting or the distribution board should be left to an electrician.
