What is an Electrical Emergency?
An electrical emergency is any situation where the electrical supply is operating outside of the normal. This could be situations such as tripping switches, flickering lights, burning smells from electrical equipment or other electrical problems. When the electrical system develops problems, you may find that circuit breakers start tripping, electric shocks occur and other electrical hazards present themselves.

Back to topAs qualified electricians in Haydock, we regularly carry out electrical fault finding. When RCD switches trip at the consumer unit it is a common misconception that the trip switches must be faulty. In fact, more often than not, switches will trip because there is an electrical fault on one of the electrical circuits.
The fault could be an intermittent fault and in these cases, electrical faults can be more difficult to trace or fix first time. An intermittent electrical issue is often related to a faulty appliance such as the toaster or kettle where internal problems have occurred with the appliance to make it fail.

Back to topIt is a good idea to have electrical systems checked regularly by a qualified electrician. This process is recommended every ten years as a minimum, not only for peace of mind but to ensure that electrical safety is maintained. A periodic electrical inspection is a process that seeks to identify dangers, potential dangers and any improvements that are recommended in electrical systems.
The inspection process produces an electrical installation condition report, a substantial document that should give a clear representation of the condition of an electrical installation.
There are some self-checks that you can do besides employing an electrician for an inspection. Check the condition of your extension leads, appliance cords and plugs and visual checks of the condition of plug sockets and switches. Keeping an eye out for discolouration, cracks or loose fixings on accessories and equipment can help to maintain electrical safety in the home.
Back to topIf you find that you are experiencing intermittent power cuts in your home then there may be issues with the supply from the street. Check with your local electricity network provider by calling 105 freephone. There is a small menu to navigate through before speaking to an operator but they should be able to assist you. The network provider takes care of the electrical supply equipment from the power station to your front door and can let you know if there are emergency or planned works being carried out in your area that might affect your supply.
If there are no known problems that might be affecting your supply then it’s time to call an emergency electrician out to investigate.
Intermittent power supply problems can indicate that there is failing equipment, loose wiring, and possible fire risks. One common cause of intermittent power cuts is a failing main switch. The main switch is normally found in the consumer unit or fuse box, is often a double width switch and control the power to the consumer unit.
