Looking for an Emergency Electrician in Knowsley?

1) Emergency Electrician in Knowsley Faults Fixed 24/7

There are many older homes in the Knowsley area and a great proportion of these properties will have aging wiring installations. An older electrical system is more at risk of unexpected breakdowns due to cable insulation becoming brittle over time, alterations and general wear and tear. Where you need an EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN KNOWSLEY or surrounding areas, we are able to assist with your electrical emergency and carry out urgent electrical repairs at short notice.

We are not a national company but a small team of two and family run small business that are able to tackle your electrical issues quickly and professionally. Our emergency service is available 24/7 for attending electrical faults such as power outages, circuit breaker problems and fault finding.

2) Types of Electrical Faults

There are many different types of electrical faults that can occur within an electrical system. Many of these will affect the consumer board, fuse box or electrical panel but in some cases, no switches will trip! 

Typical electrical faults include:

• Short Circuit 
• Earth Faults/Ground Faults 
• Circuit Breaker Blown 
• RCD or Circuit Breaker Tripping 
• Flickering Lights 
• Intermittent power outages 
• Burning Smells 
• Electrical Shocks 
• Faulty Wiring 

There are many causes for these types of electrical faults, in fact, there are almost an unlimited number of situations that can occur and lead to the above faults.

3) Circuit Overload

​Overloaded circuits will result in a blown fuse with older fuse boxes or a circuit breaker tripping in a new fuse box / consumer unit. There has to be a gradual and prolonged overload for a circuit breaker to trip in this manner. Too many electrical appliances being used at the same time can create this situation and overload the circuit breaker that protects the cables. Overload commonly occurs during use of appliances that contain heating elements such as washing machines, dryers, and kettles.

4) Melted Plug Sockets

Overloading a plug socket will result in a melted plug socket, possible electrical fires and wiring damage. Tumble dryer plugs commonly burn out and create burnt plug sockets and electrical chaos. 
Melted plug sockets are an electrical emergency as there is a real risk of electrical fire.

5) ​Burning Smell

​A burning smell is never a good sign and when the smell originates in the electrical system there is an added danger of electrical hazards such as shocks and fire. As local emergency electricians in Knowsley, we are a true 24-Hour Electrician that will attend at any time of day or night.

We have the necessary equipment and professional insights to be able to tackle all emergency situations involving power loss. 

​Check to see if your neighbours have power before calling us as there may be a localised power cut that is affecting the street rather than just your property. If the neighbours are affected then the power should be restored soon, if no neighbours are affected then it is likely to be an issue with your electrical wiring only.

9) Domestic Electrical Emergencies

We specialise in domestic electrical emergencies and carry a vast array of spare parts to enable us to repair almost any electrical situation at short notice. Where electrical safety is at risk, we will make the electrical system safe as a priority before carrying out any electrical fault finding. Domestic electrical systems are rarely ever checked or inspected by a professional electrician and as such, they can easily fall into disrepair.

As expert electricians specialising in electrical emergency works, we see situations that could have been avoided if an electrical safety check had been carried out at some point before the breakdown.

10) Electrical Safety Inspections in Knowsley

Amongst our wide range of electrical services, we also offer electrical safety inspections. A thorough electrical inspection is strongly recommended every ten years in private domestic properties or where change of ownership has taken place. An electrical inspection can unearth hidden electrical faults and dangerous situations that would otherwise go undiscovered.

The inspection produces a report of 5-8 pages in length. The report is a detailed, technical document and will show any immediate or potential dangers along with recommendations for safety improvements.
