General electrical repairs: how to describe the job
General repairs are the jobs that are not a full switchboard upgrade and not a single named fitting: a broken switch, a point that sparked once, a light that works only sometimes, a fan that hums. The electrician still has to see it. Your notes only have to aim them.
A description that is enough
The room. What stopped working, or what looks wrong. When it started. Whether it is constant or only under load. Whether you rent, and who will be home. For a property manager, the access note and the invoice name. Leave out identity documents and anyone's date of birth. Eight hundred characters is the limit on the form, and you will rarely need that many.
Repairs the site can pass on
Power points, lighting, ceiling fans, safety switches, smoke alarms, switchboard upgrades, faults and tripping, and other straightforward repairs. If you are not sure which label fits, choose "Not sure" and describe what you see. Renovations that redesign a whole room are outside the jobs this site is set up to introduce.
