A practical guide to the systems in your property, the signs worth noticing and the information to share with an electrician.
A protective device disconnects a circuit when it detects the type of fault it is designed to respond to. Tripping can relate to an appliance, damaged wiring, moisture or too much load on a circuit.
Repeated tripping needs investigation. A trip alone does not identify the cause, and replacing a device without assessing the circuit may leave the problem unresolved.
A residual current device (RCD) monitors for an imbalance in electrical current and disconnects the supply when the imbalance exceeds its operating threshold. It provides additional protection against certain electric shock risks.
Its presence does not mean every circuit is protected or that the whole installation is in good condition. An electrician can assess the arrangement and carry out appropriate testing.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report records the findings of an inspection and testing of an existing installation. It helps identify deterioration, defects and safety concerns within the agreed scope.
It is different from a certificate for newly installed electrical work. Inspection limitations and any observations should be explained so you understand the findings and recommended next steps.
The consumer unit distributes electricity to your circuits and houses their protective devices. An upgrade needs to consider the connected wiring, earthing, bonding and suitability of circuit protection.
The appearance or age of a unit alone cannot establish the condition of the installation. Assessment helps determine whether replacement, repairs or further investigation are appropriate.
Scorch marks, a burning smell, visible damage or signs of water around electrical equipment are reasons to seek professional advice. Keep clear of exposed wiring and affected equipment. Do not touch wet electrical fittings or remove covers.
If there is fire or immediate danger, call 999. For other concerns, call to discuss the issue and check appointment availability.
General electrical safety information: Electrical Safety First ↗. A site-specific assessment is needed to establish the condition of your installation.
Consider how the room is used, brightness, switching positions and whether dimming is needed. Bathrooms and outdoor spaces need equipment suited to the environment and location.
Share which appliances or equipment you plan to use. Additional sockets do not increase a circuit’s capacity; the existing installation must be considered when planning changes.
For renovations, provide the room layout, proposed appliance positions and timing. Wiring routes, access and reinstatement arrangements should be discussed before work starts.
