PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT testing) is one of the fundamental services we offer. Our expert electricians examine your appliances thoroughly using specialised equipment. This comprehensive examination includes a visual inspection, earth continuity assessment, lead polarity evaluation, and insulation resistance measurement.

EICRs

Electrical Inspection Condition Reports (EICRs) are conducted to ensure the safe and efficient operation of all electrical appliances in a building or your home. Regular inspection and testing of electrical applications and circuits are vital for mitigating risks like fires and explosions.

Old electrical wiring can be hazardous, so it is crucial to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Contact our expert electricians today to discuss your home's rewiring needs and ensure its safety.

Signs Your Home Needs Electrical Rewiring

Rewiring your home's electrical system is essential to guarantee its functionality and safety. For further information on the indicators that your house might require electrical rewiring, see the following:

Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips

Your electrical system is clearly not able to handle the load if you are constantly resetting circuit breakers or if your fuses are blowing frequently. This might be the result of antiquated wiring that cannot handle the needs of contemporary electricity, which could be dangerous.

Flickering Lights

When operating appliances or other electrical devices, flickering or dimming lights may indicate underlying wiring problems. The power supply may fluctuate due to inadequate wiring or insufficient electrical capacity, which will cause lights to flicker.

Burn Marks or Strange Odors

Burn marks on outlets or switches indicate possible wiring issues that need to be fixed right away, as do strange smells like burning plastic or an overpowering electrical stench. These problems could be a sign of electrical arcing or overheating, both of which might cause a fire.

Outdated Wiring

Electrical risks are more likely to occur in homes with antiquated electrical wiring, such as aluminium or knob and tube wiring. Rewiring is necessary to guarantee the safety of your property because these older wiring types may not adhere to current safety regulations and may deteriorate over time.

Electrical Shocks or Tingling Sensations

Electrical shocks or tingling when contacting outlets, switches, or appliances are unmistakable signs of damaged wiring or incorrect grounding. Never disregard these indications as there is a significant risk of electric shock and harm.

Visible Damage

There is a serious safety risk associated with any obvious damage to electrical wirings, such as frayed insulation, exposed wires, or cables that have been chewed by rodents. Electrical fires, electrocution, and other catastrophic mishaps can result from damaged wiring, underscoring the urgent need for expert care and potential rewiring.

Fuseboard Upgrades

Numerous older residences continue to use older-style fuse boxes that do not meet modern electrical standards. This situation not only indicates that your current fuse panel is inefficient, but it also poses potential dangers. From fires to electric shocks, an older fuse panel might compromise your safety and that of your home.
