COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN HOMES ELECTRICITY TRIPPING OUT

Do not make the mistake of constantly resetting your circuit breakers; our engineers are experts in fault finding and diagnosis. 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.

FLICKERING LIGHTS AND BLOWN BULBS

Flickering lights can be a sign of faulty wiring or loose connection issues. Do your lamps repeatedly blow? The most common cause for this is as a result of using cheap supermarket lamps. Always use quality lamps from a branded manufacturer.

LIGHT SWITCHES OR SOCKETS THAT GIVE A SMALL ELECTRIC SHOCK

If you receive a shock of any size from metal switches or sockets then call us immediately. It may be a sign of serious earthing issues.

SPARKING SOCKETS OR SWITCHES

Have you ever noticed a spark when switching on a switch or socket? This can be an early sign of a worn accessory and if left unchecked can lead to an electric shock.

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.

OUTDATED ELECTRICS

Many homes in Cornwall are over 100 years old and therefore have a range of electric issues due to being installed possibly 50 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.
