Fixed testing is when an electrical engineer tests all electrical installations and systems around your commercial building. This includes testing of main panels, distribution boards, lighting, sockets, air conditioning, and any other type of electrical wiring. Once the electrician has ensured the electrical installation is safe, an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition
Report) is issued.

An RCD is a Residual Current Device. It’s designed to protect against electrocution and electrical fires by cutting off the supply of power when it senses a leakage of electrical current from a circuit. An RCD monitors electric currents in circuits or individual items and will switch off the electricity automatically if there is a problem. For example, if you cut through a cable with a power tool, the power switches off, eliminating the chance of injury from electrocution. RCDs also offer protection against electrical fires.

If you have reset circuits, only to have the breaker trip again, you likely have a more serious problem that needs to be addressed by a qualified electrician. Our experience has shown that typically a power-hungry appliance is causing the trip in the circuit breaker. Usually, it is
caused by a space heater during the winter, an air conditioning unit during the summer, or even something as small as a hairdryer. However, sometimes it is simply that the rating of a frequently used circuit needs to be increased. For example, if a 15-amp circuit keeps tripping, then you may need to have it changed to a 20-amp. Changing circuits should only be done by a professional, certified electrician.

The main purpose of a surge protector is exactly what it says – to protect your electrical equipment from a high-voltage power surge. When a surge of power occurs, the protector will divert the extra electricity to the ‘earth’ wire. If a surge happens without a protector, a fire could potentially start and cause permanent damage to your system or property.

If you have had recent electrical work carried out in your home, Flickering lights, Unresponsive sockets, A burning smell, Frequent ‘tripping’, Scorch or burn marks on the fuse board.

In June 2020, new electrical regulations for landlords were put in place for new tenancies to improve tenant safety. Landlords are now required to ensure all electrical installations in their rented properties are inspected and tested by a qualified electrician every five years. The landlord’s rented property should be meeting the electrical standard set in the 18th edition ‘wiring regulations’. Any remedial work that shows up in your electrical report will need to be completed within 28 days of the test.

Whether it’s for your home or commercial use LED lighting panels are the way forward. They have many advantages such as being energy efficient and saving as much as 75% on energy consumption. Longer lifespan, higher quality light output, flicker-free which prevents headaches, easily maintainable, and many options of sizes. LED panels can be used in professional environments such as office spaces, schools, hospitals, shops, dentist- and GP practices, and libraries. The use of LED panels in the home is also becoming increasingly popular. They can be used to light up your garage or cellar, but also your bathroom or kitchen.
