An electrical issue ruins your day, and rarely without consequences: defrosting fridge, remote work on hold, bathroom in the dark. At Rimaud Électricité, artisan electrician in Paris 15, we troubleshoot fast — because we know how painful it is to wait — and we take the time to find the actual cause, not just paper over the symptom.
The kind of breakdowns we handle
When the power cuts out and the whole apartment goes dark, that's usually the breakers tripping. The culprit is generally at the panel: a tired breaker, a residual-current device picking up a leak, a faulty appliance somewhere on the network. Our job is to find the real cause, not just bring the power back so it can trip again two hours later.
A single socket that stops working is a different kind of problem. Often a connection that came loose at the back of the fitting, sometimes a wire severed inside the conduit. We dismantle cleanly, test with a multimeter, and put things back without damaging the wall or the fitting.
Electric water heater that won't heat, electric radiator stuck cold, intercom that stopped ringing — everyday breakdowns we handle regularly.
Our approach: diagnose first, repair second
A lot of repairmen swap a breaker without bothering to find out why it tripped. The customer pays, the power comes back, and the cause stays put. It will trip again. We do the opposite: we start by understanding.
In practice, we arrive with a multimeter, a clamp meter and a voltage detector. We open the panel, isolate circuits one by one, and look for the leak or the short. Once the source is identified, we propose the right electrical repair: replacing the failing component, redoing a connection, or sometimes a proper panel upgrade if the installation is too old to meet current standards.
It's also a matter of safety. A breaker that trips in a loop is never trivial — it's protecting you from a fault, and until we've found the source, no one can guarantee your installation is sound.
💡 Our guarantee: if we don't find the fault, the call-out is on us. No fluff, no charging you for hours of dead-end searching.
When troubleshooting isn't enough
Sometimes we come for a one-off breakdown and discover the whole installation deserves a rework: panel from before 2000, missing earth, undersized wires. In that case we're straight with you: we flag the risk, we offer a quote for a full electrical renovation, and we let you decide.
If you own a Parisian apartment from the 1970s or older, bringing things up to code eventually becomes the right call. It rarely feels urgent until it does, and anticipating costs less than dealing with a serious outage.
Frequently asked questions
How much does electrical troubleshooting cost in Paris?
A call-out starts at €132 incl. VAT, covering travel and the first 30 minutes of labour. We always tell you the likely cost before stepping in, and our guarantee is simple: if we can't find the fault, the call-out is free.
How fast do you respond?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours, and often faster in the 15th where our base sits. For real emergencies — no power at all on an evening or weekend — describe the situation over the phone and we'll organise ourselves as fast as possible.
What should I check before calling an electrician?
Two things. First your panel: if a breaker is down, flip it back up (if it trips again, don't force it). Then the main isolating switch, the big box near the meter: if it has tripped and won't reset, or if your whole building is dark, that's a call to Enedis instead. When in doubt, call us: we often sort it out over the phone, free of charge.
Do you fix the fault the same day?
When the cause is identified and the part is common (breaker, socket, switch, contactor), yes: we repair right after the diagnosis. If the fault needs a specific part or heavier work, we make the installation safe and come back with a clear quote.
