Electrical Repair & Fault Finding
We trace faults to their actual source instead of guessing, then repair the wiring, connection or component causing the problem. This covers short circuit repair, tripping breakers, partial power loss, lights that don’t work and flickering fixtures. We explain what went wrong in plain language and test the repair in front of you. Learn more about our electrical repair service.
Fixes: short circuits, trips, flickering
Wiring Work
Good wiring is the backbone of a safe home or office. We do new house wiring, repair or replacement of old and damaged wiring, and concealed wiring for a clean, cable-free finish. Outlet positions are planned around how you use each room, with proper circuit protection on every job. If walls are opened for concealed wiring, we can also arrange painting services to finish them neatly.
For: new builds, renovations, old wiring
Distribution Board (DB) Work
The DB box is the heart of your electrical safety. We handle DB box installation, MCB replacement, circuit fixing and upgrades for older boards in homes, offices and commercial spaces. If an MCB trips often, feels hot or looks old, it needs inspection. DB work involves live connections, so leave it to a certified electrician.
Fixes: frequent trips, hot or old boards
Switch & Socket Installation and Repair
Loose or non-clicking switches, sockets that don’t hold a plug, cracked covers or sparking power points are quick fixes when done early. We also add sockets where you need them (kitchen, behind the TV, home office) after checking the circuit load, and upgrade old boards to modern, easy-to-clean ones. We can supply boards or fit yours.
Fixes: sparking, loose, cracked, too few sockets
Lights Installation
Adnanfixit installs and replaces lights across Dubai, including LED lights, ceiling lights and spotlights, installed neatly and safely. We also replace old fixtures and fit new lighting layouts for renovations.
For: new lighting, replacements, renovations
Fan Installation & Repair
We install and replace ceiling, exhaust and wall fans, including remote and smart fans. Before fitting, we check that the ceiling box or bracket can safely take the fan’s weight, then mount, connect, balance the blades and test every speed. We also fix wobbling, noisy or non-working fans. Need cooling beyond a fan? See our AC repair and maintenance in Dubai.
Fixes: noisy, wobbling, dead fans
Appliance Connection
Safe electrical connection for water heaters, electric stoves, washing machines, ovens and microwaves, with the right circuit protection for each appliance. If the appliance also needs pipework, our plumbing services team can help.
For: new or relocated appliances
Outdoor Electrical Work
Dubai’s heat, dust and humidity are hard on outdoor wiring, which is why many outdoor lights fail within months. We install garden lights, parking lights, motion sensor lights and weatherproof outdoor sockets using IP-rated fittings, UV-resistant cable and proper earthing.
For: gardens, parking, balconies, pool pumps
Safety Inspection & Load Checks
Before adding equipment or new points, we check whether your circuits can safely carry the load. This is where a lot of DIY and unlicensed work goes wrong.
Prevents: overloads and hidden faults

How Much Does an Electrician Cost in Dubai?
The price depends on the job. A simple switch or socket repair costs far less than tracing a hidden wiring fault or replacing a DB box. New points that need fresh wiring, the number of points, ceiling height for fans and the scope of outdoor work all affect the quote. We assess the problem first and always give you a clear price before we start, as outlined in our terms and conditions. Send details or a photo on WhatsApp for a free estimate. Your information is handled according to our privacy policy.
Why Not DIY Electrical Work?
DB, wiring and socket work involve live connections. Mistakes can cause shocks, fire risk or damage to expensive appliances, and a wrong load calculation can overload a circuit. A certified electrician does the job safely and to standard, and it’s often faster too.

Call for EnquiryElectrical Works FAQs
Quick answers to the electrical problems Dubai residents ask us about most.
Lights, breakers and power problems
My lights keep flickering. What’s wrong?
It’s often a loose connection, a failing light fitting or a voltage issue. Don’t ignore it, as flickering can get worse. We test the circuit and pinpoint the exact cause.
My breaker trips every time I use an appliance. What should I do?
Unplug the appliance and reset the breaker once. If it trips again, stop resetting it. It’s protecting you from an overload or a fault. We run a load check and repair the cause.
Half my home has no power. Why?
Usually a tripped circuit or a faulty breaker on one line. We isolate the fault and restore power quickly.
Why is my electricity bill suddenly higher?
A faulty appliance connection or a wiring fault can draw extra current. We check your circuits for problems.
My power cuts out randomly. What should I check?
It could be a loose main connection, an ageing DB box or a supply issue. We diagnose before replacing anything, so you only pay for what’s actually wrong.
Safety and emergencies
There’s a burning smell near a socket or DB box. What do I do?
Treat it as urgent. Stop using the socket, switch off that circuit if it is safe, and call us right away. It can indicate overheating wiring.
Is it dangerous to keep using a socket that sparks?
Yes. Occasional sparking usually means a loose connection or worn internals and can worsen into overheating or a short circuit. Switch it off at the breaker and get it checked the same day.
Do you provide emergency electrical repairs?
Yes. We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency response in most areas of Dubai for sparking, burning smells, power loss and short circuits.
Are your electricians licensed?
Our electrical work is done by certified, experienced electricians who follow DEWA standards, so repairs and installations are safe and compliant.
Can I do electrical work myself to save money?
We don’t recommend it. DB, wiring and socket work involve live connections, and mistakes can cause shocks, fire risk or damage to your appliances. A certified electrician does it safely, and often faster.
DB box and wiring
What is a distribution board (DB)?
It’s the main panel that distributes power from your supply to the different circuits in your home or office and houses the MCBs and breakers.
How do I know if my MCB needs replacing?
If it trips often without an obvious overload, feels hot or looks old or damaged, it needs inspection and likely replacement.
Can you install a new DB in an old property?
Yes. We handle DB box installation, MCB replacement and circuit upgrades in older buildings and new properties.
How long does wiring work take?
It depends on the size of the property and the scope. A small repair can take a few hours, while rewiring a whole home takes longer. We confirm the timeline before we start.
What are the signs my wiring needs attention?
Flickering lights, frequent trips, warm or discoloured switches, a burning smell or an outdated fuse box. Ignoring these can lead to serious safety hazards, so get it checked early.
Switches, sockets, lights and fans
Can you add extra sockets to a room?
Yes. This is one of our most common requests. We check the circuit’s load first, then add points where you need them.
Can I get modern switches and sockets instead of the old style?
Yes. We fit sleek, modern boards that suit contemporary interiors, and can supply them or install ones you bought.
How long does a switch or socket repair take?
Most single repairs and replacements are done in under an hour. Larger jobs like new points or board upgrades take longer, and we give a time estimate upfront.
Can you install ceiling fans and exhaust fans?
Yes. We install, replace and repair ceiling, exhaust and wall fans, and check the mounting point can safely support the fan first.
Appliances and outdoor electrical
Can you connect my water heater, cooker or washing machine?
Yes. We connect water heaters, electric stoves, washing machines, ovens and microwaves safely with the right circuit protection.
What makes outdoor electrical work different?
Outdoor fittings must handle heat, dust, humidity and rain. We use IP-rated sockets and covers, UV-resistant weatherproof cable and proper earthing, never indoor-rated parts.
Do outdoor sockets need a weatherproof cover?
Always. An outdoor socket without an IP-rated cover is unsafe and should be fixed as soon as possible.
My garden lights stopped working after rain. Why?
Usually poor sealing or water getting into the connection. We redo the connection with waterproof fittings so it lasts.
Cost and booking
How much does an electrician cost in Dubai?
It depends on the fault and the work needed. A simple switch or socket repair costs far less than tracing a hidden wiring fault or replacing a DB box. You always get a clear quote before we start.
Will the price change after the electrician arrives?
No surprises. You get a clear quote before any work begins, with no hidden charges or add-ons when the bill arrives.
Can I get an estimate without a visit?
Often yes. Send a photo and short description on WhatsApp and we’ll give you an estimate, then confirm the final price after inspection before any work starts.
Don’t Ignore an Electrical Warning Sign
