3) Consumer Unit Problems

Aside from tripping switches, consumer units or fuse boxes can develop other problems. Internally, there are many components that can fail such as the main switch, the busbar connections, din rail mounting, neutral bar, earth bar and consumer unit fixings. 

These components can wear over time, connections can become loose, overheating can cause damaged wiring and the metals inside switches can tarnish, rust and decay causing switch failures and potential dangers.

4) Failing Electrical Installations

Just like a modern electrical appliance, electrical equipment, wiring, and systems are not designed to last forever and will begin to fail in some ways after as little as 20 years. Circuit breakers can fail after as little as 10-15 years, power surges can damage equipment, electrical equipment can start to show signs of wear. When a professional qualified electrician carries out testing on the installation.

New electrical goods will come with a warranty and a new electrical system comes with a warranty along with the warranty of any components installed within the system. Once outside of warranty, the manufacturers and installers will have less confidence that their equipment and installations will continue to perform without problems. 
Various aspects can affect the life of an electrical installation such as the quality of the original electrical components, the installation methods and any moisture or heat that the system has been exposed to.

The usage of the system can also affect is lifespan and trouble-free operation. Where cables have been subject to prolonged heavy loads such as sockets in kitchens, there is an increased likelihood that there will be problems sooner than if only table lamps had been used on the sockets circuit. ​

There can be a wide range of electrical problems that cause systems to fail and with many years experience,  I can offer a rapid response to get power restored quickly. 

Many homes have had electrical work carried out to add on to the original electrical system and this can create additional stress on older wiring causing weak spots in electrical circuits. As a result, electrical failures can occur and the need for an electrical emergency service then arises.
