Electrical problems can strike at any time of day or night and when they do, havoc can ensue. Electrical faults are common in older wiring systems found in aging properties. Newer homes can also suffer infrequent electrical issues too though. In the case of newer homes, it is more likely to be something simpler and more straightforward to fix such as trapped cables or faulty appliances that are causing the issue.

Back to topThere are many electrical situations that could be considered an electrical emergency.
Electrical emergencies can occur for a variety of reasons including, faulty wiring, electrical hazards, accidental damage to wiring or accessories, water ingress into outdoor electrical equipment and more. Where electrical emergencies have occurred, there is sometimes an increased risk of electric shocks, system damage and electrical fires.
Back to topWhere domestic electrical emergencies have occurred, it is important to realise that in order to resolve these emergencies, we will need access to your fuse board. Good working access prevents accidental damage to surrounding belongings and speeds up the process of electrical fault finding thereby saving you money. Urgent issues like tripping switches, need to be investigated with specialist calibrated electrical test equipment. This process begins at the consumer unit or fuse box, checking the circuit breakers, testing the electrical system and its wires to determine where the problem may be originating.
Back to topWhere a total power outage has occurred and there are NO lights, NO sockets and nothing electrical is working at all, it is likely that there is an issue with the mains supply. There could be a Faulty Main Switch, Electric meter problem or issue with the incoming supply equipment.

The fuse board or consumer unit is the brains of the electrical system. It has many important responsibilities that include:
As this consumer unit has so many important responsibilities, it makes sense to replace it now and then. They don't generally need placing every ten years but should be considered for replacement if they are 20 years or older. Electrical installations in private domestic properties should be checked and inspected by a professional electrician every ten years as a minimum or at a change of ownership.
