Why does my MCB keep tripping in Delhi?
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) tripping is caused by: overloading the circuit (too many appliances on one line), a short circuit in wiring or an appliance, a faulty MCB that needs replacement, or earth leakage triggering an ELCB/RCCB. Do not keep resetting a tripping MCB — call an electrician to find the root cause.
Is 24-hour emergency electrician available in Delhi?
Yes. Some electricians in our directory offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent issues like power failure, electrical fires, exposed wiring, or tripped main switch. Look for the green "24/7" badge on the technician profile. Emergency call charges may be higher than regular rates.
How do I know if my home wiring is safe?
Warning signs of unsafe home wiring: frequent MCB tripping, burning smell near switches, sparks when plugging in appliances, discoloured or warm switch plates, flickering lights, or shocks when touching appliances. If you notice any of these, call a certified electrician immediately. Faulty wiring is a leading cause of house fires in Delhi.
What is the cost of inverter installation in Delhi?
Inverter installation charges in Delhi are ₹500–₹1,500 depending on inverter capacity and complexity. Battery installation is included. If you need new wiring for the inverter output circuit, add ₹1,000–₹2,500. The electrician will also programme backup time and test all connected circuits.
Can electricians fix ceiling fan speed issues in Delhi?
Yes. A ceiling fan running at low speed or not changing speeds is usually caused by a faulty capacitor — this costs ₹150–₹400 to replace and takes 30 minutes. If the fan is very old, rewinding the motor may be needed (₹500–₹900). The technician can diagnose the exact fault quickly.
What is earthing and why is it important for Delhi homes?
Earthing (grounding) provides a safe path for fault current to flow into the ground, protecting people from electric shocks. In Delhi, many older buildings have inadequate earthing. Signs of poor earthing: shocks from metal appliances, MCB not tripping during faults. An electrician can test and install proper earthing for ₹1,500–₹5,000.
