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 circuit breaker?

Fuse boxes use replaceable wire fuses that melt to break a circuit; circuit breakers use switches that trip and reset. Breakers are safer, faster and more reliable. Modern homes use breakers.

How often should PAT testing be done?

Frequency depends on environment and equipment type. High-use commercial settings typically need annual testing; offices and shops every two years. Domestic appliances rarely need formal PAT testing.

Can I install sockets myself in my home?

Most electrical work requires a qualified electrician. Sockets involve live wiring and must meet Building Regulations. Poor installation risks shock, fire and legal liability if problems occur later.

What does rewiring a house actually involve?

Rewiring strips out old cable and replaces it with new, running circuits to every socket and light. It typically means making chase marks in walls, accessing the loft, and disruption lasting days or weeks.

Why do circuit breakers trip when I use too many appliances?

Each circuit has a maximum load it can safely carry. When total demand exceeds this, the breaker trips to prevent overheating and fire. This signals insufficient circuit capacity for that area.

Is a standard socket suitable for an EV charger?

No. EVs require dedicated circuits with higher capacity, proper earthing and safety protection. Standard domestic sockets are designed for low-power appliances and will overheat if used for EV charging.
