Common Electrical Problems in homes
Electricity Tripping Out
Do not make the mistake of constantly resetting your circuit breakers; If a circuit often trips it could be the sign of faulty wiring or accessory or an issue with an appliance that may be causing a fault on the circuit.
Outdated Electrics
Many homes are over 50 years old and therefore have a range of electric issues due to being installed possibly 25/30 years ago. This can mean a full rewire is needed, or it can be just that you need more sockets in some of your rooms.
Smell Of Burning
A burning smell could be a sign of the start of an electrical fire. Typically when an electrical accessory starts to overheat it gives off a distinctive and slightly fishy smell. If you think you have an issue then you should switch off your electrics at the consumer unit and contact us straight away.
Switches Or Sockets That Give Electric Shock
If you receive a shock from metal switches or sockets then call us immediately. It may be a sign of serious earthing issues.
Flickering Lights
Flickering Lights can be a sign of faulty wiring or loose connection issues
Sparking Swtches Or Sockets
This can be an early sign of a worn accessory and if left unchecked can lead to an electric shock.
