FAQ's

Do you repair domestic appliance e.g. washing machines, microwave oven, cookers etc.
Sorry we do not repair domestic appliances because we are electrical installations specialists.

Can you visit out of hours (evenings, weekends)?
Yes we can visit at your convenience.

Why are wiring Rules so strict for bathrooms?
Well they have to be because in the normal house the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house. An electric shock in a bathroom is often fatal. Nearly every year someone is electrocuted in a bathroom because of breaches in the wiring.

Is it safe to install an instant shower in an existing installation?
Showers these days are among the most demanding domestic appliances therefore any installations carried to add an instant shower should always be checked by a competent individual, who can perform all the checks necessary and analyze if existing installation is capable of handling the additional load without reinforcement.

Why do the Wiring Rules place so much importance on the location of the Distribution Board?
The Distribution Board is an extremely important part of an electrical installation. It is the safety control of the electrical installation. It provides two essential functions:

The overload, short circuit and earth fault protection.
Isolating function of the installation.

Obviously to provide these functions it must be protected against abuse either mechanical or environmental. It must be readily accessible at all times and it must be properly ventilated. Distribution Boards dissipate heat and have been known to overheat and this must be considered in their installation and location.

Some lampholders seems to become brittle after a relatively short time in use. Why is this?
This is usually due to overheating either because of inadequate ventilation of the bulb or lampholder or by installing a bulb rated above the thermal capability of the lampholder.

How the use of electricity is made safe?
There are three basic measures used to provide protection against electric shock. These are;

Isolation of live parts: Consider the basic socket outlet where live parts are concealed within the socket. Modern socket outlets are fitted with shutters to further improve isolation.
Insulation of live parts: Electric wires and cables are usually covered with plastic insulation to prevent people touching live wires.
Earthing: Metalwork such as cooker bodies, etc. is connected to earth to prevent them from becoming live and dangerous to touch.

I have a 3OmA RCD fitted in my house and it keeps tripping for no apparent reason. What can I do?
ES-Electrical electricians can perform the checks to see why RCD is tripping it could be an indication of deterioration in the electrical insulation of wiring or appliances.

I have a 3OmA RCD which occasionally trips for no apparent reason. Can I simply change it for a 100mA unit?
No. The 30mA RCD was installed to provide shock protection. This cannot be assured by a 100mA RCD because it may prevent let-go and heart fibrillation. The RCD may be of an older design which is prone to nuisance tripping. Try having it changed for a new one.

How often should I test the RCD?
Manufacturers tend to advise users to “test often” or “test frequently”, but these terms are not defined. Testing every 3 - 6 months would be considered acceptable where the RCD is fitted in a consumer unit and may be slightly inaccessible. However, SRCDs and PRCDs could certainly be tested more frequently because of their ready accessibility.

Use the changeover from Winter Time to Summer Time or vice versa as an opportunity to test the RCD. You have to reset clocks anyway, so why not test the RCD also.
