Electrical Installations FAQs

Can I complete electrical installations myself?

Yes, you can complete some electrical installations yourself, but it's not usually advised. Dealing with electrics comes with a lot of safety concerns, so we recommend that you hire a professional for any electrical work that needs to be carried out, no matter how big or small. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more advice.

What is a safety switch?

A safety switch is a device that detects when an abnormal condition has occurred and immediately interrupts power to the circuit. Safety switches are designed to prevent fires and injuries by shutting off the electric current when it flows through a conductor that has overheated or has been damaged.

Why do I need an electrical safety switch?

Electrical safety switches are designed to cut the power to a circuit in the event of an overload. This is important for several reasons. First, it will help prevent fires or other hazards that result from electrical problems. Second, it will reduce your risk of electrocution by ensuring that you can't be shocked by live wires.

What is classed as electrical work?

Electrical work is defined as work that involves installing, altering, repairing or maintaining any electrical wiring or equipment. This includes:

• Installing or replacing power points and light switches

What can I do to keep my home safe?

As we've already mentioned above, electricity is very dangerous and can be life-threatening if you're exposed to it. To keep yourself and your family safe, always keep the following tips in mind:

• Never overload plug sockets.
• Regularly inspect plug sockets and light fittings for heat damage/wear and tear.
• Never place items that are combustible near meters, fuse boxes or electrical appliances that give out heat.

What is a certificate of compliance?

It's important to have a certificate of compliance when you sell your home or business, as it proves that your electrical installation is safe and up to code.

There are a few things to look out for when you're concerned about electrical faults in your home:
