Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is a consumer unit and why might I need to upgrade it?
A consumer unit (or fuseboard) distributes electricity throughout a property and protects circuits from overload. Older units with rewirable fuses are less safe and reliable than modern consumer units with circuit breakers. Upgrades are often needed before selling, for renovation work, or when adding new circuits.
What is PAT testing and who needs it?
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) checks that portable electrical appliances are electrically safe. Landlords must ensure rental properties have safe appliances. Employers should test workplace equipment. Testing involves visual inspection and electrical testing, recorded on a label attached to the item.
Can I install an EV charger at home?
Installation requires a qualified electrician due to the high electrical demand and safety requirements. A dedicated circuit with appropriate protection is essential. Most home chargers work on a 32-amp circuit and need careful positioning relative to the consumer unit and parking location.
What causes electrics to trip frequently?
Frequent tripping usually signals an overloaded circuit, faulty appliance, or damage to wiring or insulation. It is a safety mechanism and should not be ignored. The circuit or appliance causing the problem needs to be identified and repaired rather than bypassed.
How often should rental properties be tested for electrical safety?
From April 2024, landlords in England must ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every five years, with a full report provided to the tenant. Portable appliances should also be tested regularly; annual testing is standard practice.
