6. Diagnostics, testing & maintenance — how we ensure systems stay safe
GossTech follows a rigorous process for diagnosing faults and certifying electrical systems:
- Initial assessment & visual inspection — check wiring condition, DB labeling, earthing and load layout.
- Testing using calibrated instruments — insulation resistance tests, earth continuity, leakage tests, RCD trip testing and load testing.
- Thermographic surveys — identifying hot spots in panels and connections that indicate loose/overloaded connections.
- Load analysis & balancing — especially for buildings with multiple tenants or heavy machinery.
- Detailed report & recommended fixes — we produce a clear scope and quote, safety recommendations, and timelines.
- Post-repair testing & certificate — after work completes we retest and issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) or handover report.
Common faults we diagnose and repair
- Frequent tripping of MCBs or RCDs
- Flickering or dimming lights under load
- Persistent power surges and equipment damage
- Overheating distribution boards or loose connections
- Poor or missing earthing (dangerous)
- Short circuits and burnt wiring insulation
- Neutral-to-earth faults producing stray voltages
7. Clear pricing approach, permits & compliance
- Free site visit & quote: For most installations we offer a free site inspection and written quote.
- Permits & coordination: We advise on local authority requirements and, where applicable, assist with permit applications and compliance documentation.
- Materials: We use reputable electrical components and can supply materials or work with client-supplied parts — we always recommend certified parts for safety and warranty.
- Payment terms: Typical projects include a deposit, staged payments for larger jobs, and final payment on handover with certification. We accept bank transfers and mobile money where applicable; discuss options when you request a quote.
