If you can smell burning in your home but can’t figure out where the smell is coming from then do not discount that it could be something electrical.
There may be issues that you cannot see, there may be problems that you are not aware of and there may be hidden dangers that you cannot hear, smell or touch.
Electricity in the wrong hands is a very dangerous thing. Only a qualified electrician can fully appreciate the safety aspects of electrical installations in your home. We follow all sorts of industry guidance. The electrical regulations book (BS7671) is over 560 pages thick!!!
Do not attempt any type of DIY electrical work in your home. You may think you have done a good job, new light fitting installed? It comes on when you press the switch…. But is it correctly earthed? “Oh well” I hear you say….“I connected the earth wire.”
There are safety aspects of your electrical installation that only an electrician with relevant experience, qualifications and test equipment can check. Electrical burning can happen with overloaded cables, undersized cables, incorrectly terminated cables, poorly made connections, damaged wires, undersized fuses that wont blow but will overheat.
If you haven’t had an electrical safety check carried out for more than 10 years I would strongly recommend that you consider having one done. Electrical dangers can remain hidden and not cause any issues until there is a fault. Did you know that a lot of electrical equipment can function perfectly well without being correctly earthed? That is…until there is a fault!!!
Electrical burning can happen out of sight, things can smoulder away without being detected. We come across lots of issues every day in our work. We love our job and can’t wait to see what awaits us on the next call.
So if you are unsure of the safety of your home, perhaps budget for an electrical safety check. We can perform a visual only check of the equipment and accessories in your home or we can conduct an in depth and thorough inspection for you.
Contact us TODAY, don’t put it off any longer.
