“Fast, professional fault finding

We had an ongoing electrical fault at our bakery in Linden that was tripping circuits and affecting equipment. Marcus from Amped Up Electrical Adelaide came out quickly, identified the issue straight away, and explained exactly what was causing the problem.

He methodically fault-found the circuit, repaired the issue, and made sure everything was safe and compliant before leaving. Minimal downtime for the bakery, no unnecessary upselling, and very professional throughout.

Really impressed with how thorough and tidy the work was. If you need an electrician who actually knows how to fault find properly, I highly recommend Marcus.”

“I called Marcus because I experienced electrical trips multiple times at night. I called first thing in the morning and was happy with the quick response I received from Marcus. Marcus was transparent with pricing and how he would approach fixing the problem.

When he arrived, he went through thoroughly the diagnosis and possible causes, my options and pricing that it entails. The diagnosis and fix went smoothly and I haven't experienced any trips since then. I also had him replace a few faulty light fixtures. I appreciate Marcus help and would definitely call him for any future electrical jobs. I appreciate Amped for their great communication and customer service.”

“Marcus is a life saver! Had no power to the house on a Saturday morning and thankfully found his business. He was here within an hour, diagnosed the issue and had everything back up and running in no time 🙌”

“I had a sudden power outage affecting half the power points in the house tonight. I called Marcus and he came out quickly even though it was after hours and raining.

He did a proper diagnostic with testing equipment instead of just replacing the fuse - he found that an old power point in the shed had got wet and caused a short circuit.

He safely disconnected the faulty shed circuit resulted in working under roof tiles and restored power to the house. He was professional, explained everything clearly, and did a thorough job. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend him.”

Questions people ask

Why does my safety switch keep tripping?

It has found current leaking where it shouldn't: to earth, through water, or through a damaged appliance or cable. Resetting it doesn't fix the leak, so it trips again.

A power point or light stopped working but nothing tripped. Why?

Usually a loose or failed connection rather than a leak, so the safety switch doesn't react. Marcus tests the circuit to find exactly where the break is.

How long does fault finding take?

It depends on the fault. Some are quick to find, others need a search of the roof space. Marcus keeps you updated as he goes.

Will you fix it the same visit?

Often, yes. If it points to something bigger, like a switchboard replacement, Marcus explains what he found and quotes the fix before doing more.
