Introduction
Güneykent is one of Mersin's growing residential neighbourhoods, characterised by a mix of older apartment blocks and newer housing developments. The area's rapid growth means that electrical infrastructure in older buildings is under increasing load — air conditioning units, washing machines, and electric water heaters on circuits that were designed for a much simpler era of household appliances.
As the number of residents and appliances grows, so does the demand for reliable local electricians who know Güneykent's building stock, can respond quickly, and do not overcharge.
Usta Hemen has been serving Güneykent and the wider Mersin residential market for years. We have established teams in nearby Yenişehir and Mezitli that can reach Güneykent in under 30 minutes.
Electrical Services Available in Güneykent
Emergency Fault Finding
Power cuts to part of your apartment, tripping circuit breakers, sparking sockets, or the smell of burning plastic — these are emergencies. Call us immediately. We arrive within 30 minutes and locate the fault using thermal imaging and circuit testing equipment.
Consumer Unit (Fuse Box) Upgrades
Many older Güneykent apartments still have original fusible cut-out boards (şimşirli sigorta) without RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) protection. This is a serious safety risk. We upgrade these to modern DIN-rail consumer units with RCCB protection for each circuit.
Air Conditioning Circuit Installation
Every air conditioning unit should have its own dedicated circuit with a correctly rated circuit breaker. Sharing an AC circuit with other appliances is a common cause of tripping and potential fire. We install dedicated 4 mm² circuits for split-type air conditioners in Güneykent apartments.
Socket and Switch Replacement
Faulty, discoloured, or non-earthed sockets and switches. We replace like-for-like or upgrade to premium Schneider or Legrand fittings as preferred.
Lighting Circuit Repairs
Flickering lights, dead circuits, failed LED driver boards. We diagnose and repair all lighting issues, including LED downlight replacements and dimmer switch installations.
Water Heater (Şofben) Circuits
Electric water heaters require a 6 mm² dedicated circuit with a 25–32A breaker. We install or check existing water heater circuits for safety compliance.
Common Electrical Problems in Güneykent Buildings
Based on our service history in the area:
Problem 1: Overloaded shared circuits In older blocks, the electrical system was designed with very few circuits. As residents add appliances, overloading becomes common — particularly in summer when multiple air conditioners run simultaneously.
Solution: Add dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, upgrade the consumer unit capacity.
Problem 2: Aluminium wiring in older buildings Some buildings constructed before 1990 in Turkey used aluminium wiring instead of copper. Aluminium oxidises at connections, causing resistance, heat, and fire risk.
Solution: Professional inspection and connection remediation or full rewire of affected circuits.
Problem 3: No RCCB protection The absence of residual current circuit breakers means there is no protection against earth faults or electric shock.
Solution: Immediate consumer unit upgrade to include RCCB on all circuits.

FAQ
Is Güneykent served 24 hours a day?
Yes. Usta Hemen operates 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. There is a small surcharge for work after 22:00.
My building has a communal electrical room. Who is responsible for repairs there?
The building management (site yönetimi) is responsible for the communal electrical installation. We work with building managers across Mersin and can arrange site-wide electrical maintenance contracts.
My landlord says the electrical fault is my responsibility. Is that correct?
Hidden wiring faults (within the walls, at the consumer unit) are generally the landlord's responsibility under Turkish tenancy law. Faults caused by the tenant's appliances or misuse may be the tenant's responsibility. We can provide a written report to help resolve disputes.
Can you check whether my apartment is safely wired before I move in?
Yes. Our pre-purchase or pre-rental electrical inspection checks all circuits, the consumer unit, earthing, and all visible wiring for safety compliance. We provide a written report.
