3) Circuits Tripping in Liverpool

Where you have switches tripping in your consumer unit, you will need immediate assistance with resolving this problem. There is a helpful article on our website that may assist you and is completely free. You can find the article here. 

Tripping switches are rarely caused by a faulty switch. This is a common misconception. The most common cause of a tripping switch is an electrical fault. There could be a variety of electrical faults causing this issue such as short circuits or earth / ground faults. 

4) 24/7 Emergency Electrical Service

As your local 24 Hour Electrician in Liverpool, I am familiar with every electrical issue that can occur in homes and businesses throughout the city and surrounding areas. We are available to attend to your 24 Hour Emergencies at any time of the day or night and can usually fix the issue first time and within the hour.

Where parts and further labour are required, we will obtain the parts as soon as possible and return to complete the repair for you. 

5) Damaged Cables in Liverpool

Damaged cables are a common problem within homes and we are well versed in repairing electrical problems involving cable damage. If you are sure about where the damage is to the cabling then its best to clear the area around the damage. This will save time and costs when we attend to fix the problem for you. 

Cable damage can occur as a result of many factors such as:

• Rodent Damage
• DIY mishaps
• Poor Cable Installation
• Shifting Furniture
• Securing Floorboards
• Overloading Electrical Cables

There are many different situations where cable damage can occur and we have probably seen them all by now! If you have cable damage and need a 24 Hour Electrician Immediately then just call us NOW!

6) Liverpool Power Cuts

Power cuts in the city and surrounding areas are normally due to interruptions in the power supply from the power station or local transformer. If you are experiencing power supply issues then you can contact the local network electricity provider on 105 freephone. You can also check online to see if there are any known issues. 

If other properties near to you have no power, then the issue is with the supply outside your property and not with the electrical system in your property. 

If ONLY your property appears to be affected then its still worth ringing 105 to check if there are issues but it is MORE LIKELY that your electrical system has some problems. As your local 24 Hour Emergency Electrician in Liverpool, we are on hand to help you quickly. I will take your call personally and assist you.

7) Faulty Fuse Box

A faulty fuse box is a common occurrence in Liverpool and can be a significant danger to your property in some cases. If the faulty fuse box is accompanied by a fishy, burning smell then please turn your fuse box off IMMEDIATELY and call us straight away.

(Photo: Investigating a fuse box for problems)

It is likely that several components in the fuse box will need to be replaced but we will need to attend your property and safely assess the damage. This type of electrical problem should NOT be left and should be dealt with STRAIGHT AWAY!

Where you appear to have a switch that is tripping, this is less likely to be an issue with the fuse box and more likely to be an issue with an electrical circuit or appliance in your property. 

Fuse box problems of any type should be ignored as they rarely go away on their own. They may appear to stop for a short period but could then become worse. Where switches keep tripping, continually turning them back on could cause the switches to fail completely!

8) Electrics Getting Hot in Liverpool

Heat is a major problem where electrical wiring and fuse boxes are concerned. Our work as a 24 Hour Electrician in Liverpool allows us to see all sorts of wiring problems where heat has been a major factor. 

Electrical equipment can warm up slightly during normal use and this is nothing to worry about in general. Where equipment, wiring, the fuse box or other electrical accessories have become hot, this can indicate that serious wiring damage has occurred. The damage may not be immediately visible so ensure that you call us quickly if you have HOT electrical sockets, switches or a HOT fuse box.

14) Expert Electrical Repairs in an Emergency

When you require an expert electrical repair service in Liverpool give us a call. We repair all electrical wiring, electrical faults, and intermittent electrical issues in your property. We DO NOT currently tackle electrical appliance repairs.

When electrical problems strike, you need a professional company with many years of experience in tracing, testing, and finding electrical faults. Once issues are found they can be safely repaired and the power supply reinstated. 

15) Burglar Alarm Going Off?

If your burglar alarm has decided to go haywire then call us and we will attend to disconnect the alarm for you. When burglar alarms fail, there is often a reason. Burglar alarms can fail through lack of maintenance, dead batteries, age and damage to the wiring or components of the burglar alarm. 

16) Urgent Liverpool Fuse Box Replacement

When a fuse box decides to keep blowing fuses or tripping switches it is normally as a result of electrical problems with the wiring in your property. Once fuse boxes reach a certain age it is a good idea to have them replaced to ensure your safety from electric shocks and fires. 

Trip switches have a lifespan and will eventually fail. This could happen without your knowledge and then when an electrical fault, such as a short circuit or ground fault occurs, the switch may not operate. This could leave your electrical system in a very dangerous state.

(Photo: Old Style Fuse Box that should now be replaced)

An urgent fuse box replacement might be required if there are any issues with loose connections in your existing fuse box. When loose connections occur, switches and components inside your fuse box can seriously overheat, melt and even cause a fire. This is a common problem with older fuse boxes that have not been professionally checked recently. 

17) 24 Hour Liverpool Trip Switch Repairs

Where trip switches fail, we are able to replace most types of trip switch immediately. Where your fuse box is old and components may be obsolete, parts can be more difficult to obtain quickly. 

We carry a large range of spare trip switch parts to enable us to repair most consumer units and fuse boxes at short notice.

Remember though, just because a switch is tripping does not mean that there is a fault with the switch itself. A tripping switch is more likely to be a wiring fault on one of the electrical circuits rather than an issue with the switch. 

18) Electric Shock Problems in Liverpool

(Photo: Earthing in a Domestic Electrical Installation)

Where there are electric shocks occurring in your property, its important to call an electrician immediately! The shocks may feel very minor but this can quickly change into lethal shocks under the right circumstances. 

Electric shocks can occur as a result of earthing issues within your electrical system, next doors electrical system or out in the street. A professional fault finding electrician will be able to diagnose the source of the shocks and take appropriate measures to rectify the problem for you. 

If you are having electric shocks from your electrical system then call your local 24 Hour Electrician in Liverpool immediately.

19) Badly Installed Faulty Electrics in Liverpool

(Photo: Plug Socket Failure due to DIY Electrical Work)

Where electrical wiring is worked on by persons other than qualified professionals, we regularly see dangerous situations, wiring failures and wiring regulations breaches. The photograph above was a job that we attended where several socket outlets had apparently failed. The cause of this was a junction box that had been incorrectly installed and buried in the wall of the property. We found loose connections, burnt out wiring and too many sockets installed as part of a branch circuit or ‘spur’. 

If you have faulty or bad wiring in Liverpool or surrounding areas then please contact us as soon as possible. Faulty wiring can cause electric shocks, burns or fires in your property. Have a professional check it out immediately to ensure that you are safe. 

We are your local 24 Hour Electrician in Liverpool and can fix the majority of electrical problems day or night. Where parts have to be ordered or sourced, we will give you a free no obligation quotation for the further works and return as quickly as possible to complete the repair for you. 

20) 24 Hour Liverpool Old Wiring Repairs

(Photo: Old Electrical Wiring)

Old wiring can begin to cause problems in electrical systems without any outward signs or symptoms. Customers often exclaim to me “we have never had a problem before!!!”. In truth, what has happened is a slow and eventual decay of cable insulation, wiring and electrical components to the point that the fuse box or consumer unit will detect the issue and begin to trip switches. 

Wiring begins to wear from the moment it is installed and used. The age at which wiring will become unusable is not possible to determine but depends on many factors such as:

• The quality of the products used in the original electrical installation
• The electrical loads that are demanded during its lifetime
• The workmanship of the original installation
• Any additions and the quality of installation along with any additional stresses they add
• The environment that the electrical system operates in

We would expect a brand-new wiring installation in a domestic property to last around 30 to 40 years before needing replacing, on average.

It is possible to repair old wiring in most cases but there are some instances where it is neither safe nor sensible to attempt repairs.

Such situations could be where rubber wiring is in use or lead sheathed wiring is still in use. These two types of cables are now obsolete and will have seen better days.

21) 24 Hour Electrician for Electrical Fault Finding

(Photo: Electrical Testing at a Consumer Unit)

Electrical faults can strike at any time and that is why we will attend to your emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are electrical fault finding specialists and carry a range of specialist electrical test equipment to trace, diagnose and uncover electrical issues in your property. 

Many Liverpool properties develop electrical faults due to aging wiring and electrical components. These issues can be exacerbated during periods where the weather is particularly cold, wet, or very warm. 

Moisture in the winter can directly affect the insulation on cables causing electrical current leakage. This can cause protective devices to trip and issues to occur. Cold weather can cause an overreliance on electrical heating equipment leading to burnt out connections and power cuts. 

Water ingress into electrical equipment is also very common. Outdoor electrical parts like floodlights can suffer from water ingress and cause the electrical system to trip off.

With our specialised electrical fault-finding service, we can detect what has gone wrong, why, and how to fix the issue. We can also advise on how to prevent similar problems from reoccurring.

22) Stop Electrical Faults with Regular Electrical  Inspections

Whilst unexpected circumstances will always occur, the frequency of electrical emergencies can be greatly reduced by preventative maintenance. Regular electrical inspections are recommended by the Institute of Engineering and Technology for domestic properties at least every ten years. 

An electrical inspection is a thorough process that checks for electrical dangers and problems that may develop into serious issues. The process takes a few hours and involves testing all the electrical circuits. 

A report is produced during and following the inspection called an Electrical Installation Condition Report. This document is several pages long and will document the test results from the inspection along with listing any defects that have been found. 

Each defect on the report will be allocated a severity code to reflect the seriousness of the situation that has been found. For more information on codes for EICRs please check our article.
