Do the lights in your home randomly cut out? Has your hair dryer suddenly stopped working while you’re using it? Either of these frustrating scenarios can be triggered by a blown fuse, which should be replaced as quickly as possible to keep your home safe and fully functional.
Blown fuses are sometimes caused by overloaded circuits, often occurring because you’ve plugged in too many appliances at once. However, identifying the root cause isn’t always so simple; it may be down to a wiring fault in one of your devices, for instance.
Don’t throw out your device if it suddenly stops working – enlist the help of Service Experts before saying goodbye to the gadget. We’ll visit you on the same day to evaluate the condition of your device and replace any blown fuses. Our experts will also take a thorough look at your power outlets to ensure that the electrical current flowing through isn’t too high.
Either way, our goal is to stop your fuses from repeatedly blowing, so call us today for scheduled or emergency repairs.
As the main safety component in electronic devices and systems, fuses blow when they become overloaded with current coming from a power source. Not only can they cause appliances like hair dryers, TVs, and entire lighting systems to stop working, but blown fuses also trigger electrical fires, particularly in older homes.
We know that being left without power to your home or a key electrical device is frustrating, especially if it blows when you’re rushing to get ready for a busy day. However, attempting to replace a broken circuit breaker or fuse yourself can be incredibly dangerous, leading to short-circuiting and electric shocks without the proper knowledge.
Instead, call a licensed and qualified electrician like Service Experts to safely complete the job. We’re available 24/7 to visit your home and get your electrical equipment safely up and running, restoring a reliable source of power and taking care of any damage sustained.
Wondering how we get the job done? At Service Experts, safety is our number one priority, meaning that we follow a comprehensive process for every blown fuse job we complete.
Here are the steps our electrical experts will follow to identify and resolve the issue within your home:

No, if a device or the lighting systems in your home stop working, you’ll need to replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same size, type, power rating, and amperage. This is because the elements within the fuse will have been burned by the heat of the current that goes through it.
To ensure that a blown fuse is replaced safely and effectively, it’s recommended to call a qualified electrician service. They will be specially trained to identify the source of the blown fuse, before replacing it with a new one of the right size and amperage. A professional electrician can also repair any faulty connections that may have blown the fuse.
A new fuse generally costs between $10 and $20 plus diagnostic and labour costs, although speciality fuses can be priced upwards of $100. As part of our transparent pricing policy here at Service Experts, we’ll always tell you the price of the job before we begin to avoid any hidden costs.
If you’ve tried repairing or replacing a fuse and it keeps blowing, call a fully licensed and qualified electrician, who can identify the source of the issue. They will check for overloaded circuits, ensure that the right fuses are installed, repair damaged wiring, and even relocate an appliance if necessary.
