3) Electrical dangers - how can faults be avoided?🤔

There are many electrical dangers that exist in the home and so many could be easily avoided. One of the best ways to prevent and unforeseen electrical issues is to have an electrical inspection carried out in your home by a professional. A thorough electrical inspection takes several hours and will result in a 6–8-page report detailing the condition of your electrical installation. An electrical report is a valuable document for your home just like an MOT certificate and service record is important for your car. Nearly any electrical work should come accompanied with a certificate that states the work has been carried out in accordance with the wiring and building regulations. An in-depth electrical report will highlight any electrical issues that may be hidden and apply a code to them relating to how dangerous they are.

4) Can I do anything to prevent electrical faults?🔎

Yes, there are steps you can take to ensure that you are using the electrical installation as intended and to prevent issues. One of the many problems we see is the excessive use of extension leads to power appliances. Extension leads are meant as a temporary measure to supply equipment and not necessarily a permanent fixture in the home. Whilst low powered appliances are generally fine to use more permanently, higher powered appliances on an extension lead can cause serious electrical problems.

If you find that you do not have enough sockets in your house then it may be best to have more sockets installed if your electrician says it is safe to do so. In older electrical installations there tends to be fewer sockets available and it is not always possible to extend electrical circuits to feed more sockets safely. Your electrician will be able to tell you what upgrade and repairs are needed in order to safely install more electrical sockets in your home. If you find that you need an EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN ST HELENS because you have no sockets working then please call us. We are able to attend quickly and are competitive on price.

5) What other emergencies need an electrician?⚡

There are many different electrical emergencies that would require an electrician to attend to investigate the problem. Flickering lights, burning smell, trip switch problems, pops, bangs, buzzing noises, intermittent power cuts, broken or damaged electrical switches or sockets and more. IF you find that your fuse box or consumer unit will not turn on then you may need an electrician to come and help you. Electricity is incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands and great care should be taken when attempting any repair or investigation. Without electrical training, knowledge and expertise injury can occur. We are specialists in fault finding and power restoration so we have the best chance of getting things back to normal for you. 

6) Can all electrics be fixed?✅

Not all electrical systems can be economically repaired. As electrical systems age, components and fuse boxes become obsolete as technology and safety wiring regulations change. We would not dream of buying a car without functioning air bags these days and many safety features are now available on electrical systems that can save lives that we should not live without. When wiring and electrics become old, wear and tear can mean that faults develop. These electrical faults can often be bypassed, rewired, repaired, and fixed. Some electrical systems are beyond repair and when they fail, it is simply too late. Certain types of cables should no longer be in service such as VIR (Vulcanised Indian Rubber) or Lead Sheathed cabling. These cables are absolutely ancient these days and have served their useful life in the electrical system. Repairs or fixes to these cables could create further danger and should not be attempted in many cases. 

The newer your electrical system the better the chance we have of obtaining parts and spares for it. As an EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN ST HELENS, we carry a large range of spares and parts to be able to repair electrical installations as we tend to find that most emergency electrical problems occur when shops and wholesalers are shut for the day or the weekend. 😊
