Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What's the difference between a fuse box and a circuit breaker board?

Fuse boxes use rewirable fuses that blow when overloaded. Circuit breaker boards (consumer units) have switches that trip automatically and can be reset. Breakers are safer and more reliable.

Can I add new sockets myself?

Any work on fixed electrical installations must follow Building Regulations. Most homeowners should not attempt this. An electrician ensures circuits are properly sized and work is safe and compliant.

How often should PAT testing be done?

Frequency depends on the appliance type and environment. Portable equipment in offices typically needs annual testing. Higher-risk items like power tools may need more frequent checks.

What size circuit do I need for an EV charger?

Most domestic EV chargers require a dedicated 32-amp circuit from the consumer unit. Exact requirements depend on charger type and vehicle. An electrician assesses this before installation.

Is rewiring disruptive to my home?

Yes, rewiring involves running cables through walls and ceilings, which means cutting into plaster, floorboards, or plasterboard. Disruption depends on scope. Partial rewires are less invasive than full house rewires.

Why won't my socket work after I've plugged something in?

A circuit may have tripped or an appliance may have triggered a fault. Check your circuit breaker panel and reset the switch. If it keeps tripping, there's likely a fault requiring diagnosis.
