7) Electrical Safety Checks in Hale bank

We offer a wide range of electrical services including electrical safety checks. An electrical safety check will highlight any issues that are present in the electrical system. A thorough and in depth electrical safety check will look at earthing, cable insulation quality, safety issues, electric shock risks, condition of the fuse box or consumer unit, the condition of the sockets, switches and much more.

In depth electrical checks take around 3 to 4 hours plus paperwork for a typical 3-bedroom semi-detached house. Beware of very cheap electrical inspections as they will likely be a quick glance over the electrical installation and miss out several key tests and inspections procedures.

A thorough electrical check is recommended every 10 years in private domestic homes. For your peace of mind, if you have not had the electrical system in your property checked in the last ten years, it is strongly recommended that you do so.

8) What happens after the Electrical Safety Check?

Once the check has been performed a report is produced called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).The report is typically 5-8 pages in length and contains information about the condition of the electrical system. The EICR certificate / report will either be SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY as the outcome. There are a variety of electrical codes that the report will contain and each of these has a severity rating.

The report will come with recommendations for improvements and rectifications for any dangers that have been found. It is common for electrical installations over ten years old to have some recommendations for improvements present on a report. It is uncommon for installations that are relatively new to have serious defects present.

9) When should Fuse Boxes be replaced?

​A fuse box should be replaced every 20 to 30 years as a minimum and depending upon the installation conditions. A consumer unit or fuse box that has been installed in a damp basement will likely fail much sooner than one that has been installed in dry conditions for example. Electrical trip switches in the consumer unit are not designed to last forever and if they fail. then there can be serious consequences that occur.

10) What do fuse boxes and consumer units do?

The main roles of a consumer unit or fuse box is to divide the mains electrical supply into smaller 'circuits' , to protect the wiring from damage and to ensure that persons using the electrical installation are protected from harm. The consumer unit or fuse box is considered to be the 'brains' or 'control centre' of electrical installations. Where there are issues with switches tripping or fuses blowing in the consumer unit, it is important to have these faults checked as soon as possible to prevent electrical circuit damage. Minor repairs can turn into expensive repairs if electrical faults are ignored and allowed to worsen.

11) Can you give a free quote over the phone?

​With electrical emergencies, it is IMPOSSIBLE to give a free quote over the phone to fix the problem as neither you nor we have any idea what has caused the electrical problem to occur.
