24 Hour Electrician in Great Sankey

​The electrical supply to our homes is something that we take for granted on a day-to-day basis and as such, when things go wrong, we suddenly remember how old the electrics are, the lack of inspection, testing and maintenance that we have had carried out on the system. Great Sankey homeowners will be familiar with older electrical systems due to the age of many of the homes in the area. 

As a 24-hour electrician in Great Sankey, I know that older wiring can sometimes worry people but it’s important not to panic when things go wrong. I am more than familiar with wiring systems of all ages in homes around the area and regularly carry out repairs on older electrical equipment. Where there are unknown problems such as tripping switches or intermittent power cuts it is likely that some fault-finding work will need to be carried out. I specialise in this type of electrical work. 
Whilst older electrical systems may not be in optimal condition, many are able to be repaired successfully rather than re-wired. The safety of your home is of paramount importance and I will always be honest over the condition of the electrical system and any repairs that may be needed.

If you need urgent electrical services in Great Sankey, Penketh or surrounding areas then get in touch. I am available on 01925 595 980, 0151 351 4011 or 07858 136 955. 

Without routine check-ups of the electrical system by professional electricians, there could be potential danger present which may not be immediately obvious to the untrained eye.

Without regular maintenance, the need for urgent electrical services could arise, usually at the most inconvenient of times!

We offer a wide range of electrical services including Electrical Inspections. A periodic electrical inspection is recommended every ten years for a private domestic premises. This safety check is the best way of establishing the condition of the electrical wiring and fuse box in your home.

4) Electric shock in Great Sankey

If you are experiencing electrical shocks from equipment then there is something not quite right in the home. Shocks from sinks and taps are not normal and require urgent attendance by a qualified professional in order to establish the cause. Whilst shocks may seem minor, they can increase in severity and cause serious harm if not dealt with quickly. 

Safety measures in electrical systems can be put in place to prevent shocks from taps, sinks or other metal equipment but only an electrician with specialist test equipment and knowledge can install and certify this.

5) Power Surges, Short Circuit and Electrical Fire

​Power surges in the home can cause equipment to malfunction, wiring to burn out and electrical accessories to become damaged. Newer consumer units should incorporate a surge protection device to prevent any large voltages damaging wiring and equipment. If your fuse box or consumer unit is older then it may not contain this technology so consider an upgrade. 

A short circuit can occur when the LINE wire touches the NEUTRAL wire in a wiring system. This is often the result of faulty wiring, Do It Yourself attempts and associated damage or when appliances short out. When a short circuit occurs, there is a massive electrical current that flows until the fuse box or consumer unit disconnects the power. This is why it is so important to have a modern consumer unit that will work correctly and disconnect electrical faults. 

Electrical fires can occur where there are fire hazards such as insulation covering electrical cabling (typically in the loft) and where short circuits occur without the fuse box or consumer unit switching off quickly enough.

6) ​Electrical Repairs in Great Sankey

Due to the age of many homes in the Great Sankey and surrounding area, wiring systems are often a little older and may require some TLC. Sockets, switches, cooker points, and cables can degrade over time and cause issues to occur. Our small family run electrical company is more than used to carrying out minor repairs on older electrical systems and we will happily swap faulty outlets, investigate a minor issue, install a new light for you and all sorts of other jobs. 

If your electrical system is particularly old then consider having an electrical installation condition report carried out. The inspection process will identify any dangerous, potentially dangerous issues or non-compliances with the wiring regulations.
