2) Circuit Breaker problems in Lowton

​Circuit breakers that trip frequently do not always mean that the trip switches are faulty. Electrical equipment like trip switches are designed to trip when there are issues with electrical installations, risk of electrical shocks and as a safety measure. If you are experiencing these types of issue then its best to have an electrician attend immediately to investigate the cause. 

Resetting a trip switch again and again is not helping to fix the problem, in fact its likely to make the problem worse and result in a more expensive repair, increased danger through risk of trip switch failure and cable damage.

4) ​Electrical Emergencies in Lowton

​There are many electrical emergency situations when urgent electrical services would be required. Such situations include:

​Trip switch problems

Where trip switches continually trip the reason can lie with the type of trip switch. An RCD will trip when there are earth faults, electric shock risk, moisture in electrics, damage to wiring and more. A circuit breaker trips for excessive load on a circuit such as too many appliances, short circuits where massive electrical fault currents are being caused. 

Burning Smells

Burning smells from electrical equipment resemble a pungent, fishy odour and can be very serious indeed. When electrical burning occurs there is a risk of fire, shorting out and serious damage to wiring and fuse boxes. 

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights  can occur with faulty dimmer switches, faulty light fittings, loose wiring at the switch, ceiling or fuse box and more! Generally speaking, lights should never flicker in a normal domestic environment and when they do, there are electrical problems that need yo be checked by qualified electricians as soon as possible.

Crackling Plug Sockets

Crackling noises from electrical equipment such as plug sockets, light switches and fuse boxes or consumer units is a dangerous sign that things are wrong. This noise is indicative of electrical arcing occurring and as such fire hazards are present, Electrical arcing is a situation where high resistances have created an impedance to electrical current flow. The result is intermittent electricity flow causing extremely high heat and potential fires. 

Damaged Electrical Equipment

Electrical equipment should be undamaged, well secured and installed as the manufacturer intended. Where equipment is cracked, broken, loose or discoloured, there could be potential danger present and as such, a 24 hour electrician or emergency electrician should be called to rectify the damage. In some cases, it is more cost effective to replace damaged electrical accessories than attempting to repair them. Plug sockets and switches should always be replace when they are faulty but a fuse box can sometimes be repaired if there are electrical problems.

5) ​Electrical Outlets not working but lights are

Where your plug sockets are not working but your lights are you have a partial power failure. There is normally good reason for the failure which will involve a tripping switch. One of the best self-help methods is to go around your home and physically remove all appliance plugs from the wall. If the trip switch resets after you have completed this task then it is likely to be a faulty appliance that was the issue. 

If you have tried this and are still having problems then just call on 07858 136 955 or 01925 595 980

6) Fusebox Replacement in Lowton

With some electrical emergencies that have damage the fuse box, it may be necessary to replace the fuse box. This can happen when the damage is extensive and carrying out a safe repair would not be possible or advisable. Where one or two switches have been affected and there is no other damage, it is usually possible to replace the switches and make good. 

Where there is damage to the busbar (power bar that feeds electricity throughout the fuse box) or damage to the metal bars inside the consumer unit, it will require more extensive repairs. The installation of new electrical components is only possible where minimal damage has occurred to the fuse box, where parts are still available and where a repair would not still leave the fuse box in a dangerous condition. 

Fusebox replacement is not a quick job and will take several hours plus testing, inspection and certification. All circuits have to be tested and checked for safety, earthing and more.
