Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
Fuse boxes use rewireable fuses or cartridge fuses and are outdated. Consumer units use circuit breakers that switch off automatically on overload. Consumer units are safer, more reliable, and required by modern building regulations.
Do I need a full rewire if I want to add more sockets?
Not always. Simple socket additions use existing circuits if capacity allows. Full rewiring is needed when wiring is very old, circuits are overloaded, or significant new circuits are required for modern usage demands.
How often should PAT testing be done?
Frequency depends on the appliance type and workplace environment. Offices and low-risk environments typically require annual testing. Hostels and construction sites need more frequent checks. An electrician can advise based on usage.
Can any electrician install an EV charger?
An electrician can install the circuit and wiring. However, some charger manufacturers require specific installation training or credentials. A qualified electrician will advise on charger models and any additional requirements.
What should I do if my lights flicker or sockets feel warm?
Stop using affected sockets immediately. Flickering lights or warm outlets suggest loose connections or overloading. These are fire hazards and require urgent inspection by a qualified electrician before further use.
Is it safe to install lighting myself?
Any work on fixed wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician in the UK. Improper installation creates shock and fire risks. Certification of safe completion is also required by law for most electrical work.
