Frequently Asked Questions About Electricity in Your Home
Safety inspections help identify potential risks and ensure all Electrical systems are functioning properly. Regular inspections by a qualified Electrician can detect issues early, prevent potential accidents, and ensure compliance with local regulations.
Common electrical hazards include exposed wires, overloaded outlets, outdated wiring, faulty appliances, and improperly grounded systems. Awareness and regular maintenance can mitigate these risks.
Flickering lights could be a sign of a loose bulb, a problem with the fixture, or a more serious issue like a faulty connection. While it may seem minor, it’s advisable to consult an Electrician to determine the root cause and fix the issue.
You should test your smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button, and replace the batteries annually. Smoke alarms themselves typically need replacement every 10 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. We can also replace battery run smoke alarms with hard wired alarms – so you never need to worry about battery replacements.
While it may seem like a simple task, installing power points involves understanding Electrical circuits and safety protocols. It is best to hire a licensed Electrician to ensure proper installation and compliance with local regulations.
Signs of outdated or faulty wiring may include frequent breaker trips, discolored or hot outlets, burning smells, or visible damage to wires. If you experience these or live in an older home, it’s wise to have an inspection by a licensed Electrician.
If you encounter an Electrical problem, it’s essential to prioritise safety. Avoid touching any exposed wires or attempting DIY fixes. Call a professional Electrician to assess and address the problem.
Energy efficiency can be achieved through regular maintenance, using energy-saving appliances, installing LED lights, utilizing smart power points, and being mindful of energy consumption. One of our Electricians can provide personalised recommendations for your home.
