Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
How often should portable appliances be tested?
Testing frequency depends on use. Workplace equipment typically needs annual testing. Home appliances need testing less often, but should be checked if they look damaged or have been unused for months.
What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
Fuse boxes use replaceable fuses that melt when circuits overload. Consumer units use circuit breakers that switch off automatically. Circuit breakers are safer, more reliable, and allow instant reset without replacing parts.
Do I need planning permission to install an EV charger?
Most domestic EV chargers do not need planning permission. However, listed buildings and some conservation areas may have restrictions. Check with the local council if the property has listed status or is in a protected area.
Why do my lights flicker?
Flickering can indicate loose connections in switches or fittings, a failing dimmer, overloaded circuits, or problems with the supply itself. Loose connections are a fire hazard and should be checked promptly by an electrician.
Can I add more sockets to an existing circuit?
Extra sockets can usually be added to a circuit if it is not fully loaded. However, adding too many sockets to one circuit risks overload. An electrician can assess capacity and add a new circuit if needed.
What should I do if I smell burning near an outlet?
Turn off the circuit at the consumer unit immediately and do not use that socket. A burning smell indicates dangerous overheating, possible arcing, or failing equipment. Contact an electrician urgently before using that circuit again.
