Hi everyone,

My sister has purchased her 1 st house and it seems to have electrical problems so i think....

Problems are:

Everytime she flicks a light switch on a globe will blow... and she will go through atleast 15 globes a month easy...

Also everytime you flick a light switch of you get electrical interfearance, ie the digital set top box on her tv "spikes" which really ####es you after some time....

Can anyone advise if this sounds like the wiring wrong? somewhere...

Regards,

Dave

Dave, get a licenced sparky to check the board. Maybe the neutral is letting go. This is not the work for a backyarder.

It may cost a bit, but it is better than you being fried or burning your sister place down.

Electricity Bites the unwary hand!
