Beanfield is an area situated within Corby. There are many new and older homes within the area and all may require the services of a trusted local ELECTRICIAN IN BEANFIELD.

Electrical safety in Beanfield

Where older properties exist, the potential for unchecked electrical systems and wiring increase. It is a simple fact that if things are working, we rarely question them. This can lead to electrical wiring and fuse boxes that are left in a poor state of repairs for many years.

Where electrical systems have not been checked for 10 years or more, it is strongly recommended that they are inspected and tested by a professional electrician.

The inspection and testing process checks for electrical dangers, hidden faults, and any non-compliances with the safety electrical installations.

This process is called a Periodic Electrical Inspection and the documentation produced is known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).

The document outlines any electrical dangers or non-compliances that may be present in the electrics and applies relevant codes to the observations that have been made.

New consumer units in Beanfield

Where a consumer unit is 20 years old or more, it is recommended that they are changed. Many consumer unit manufacturers only guarantee their equipment for 10 years so occasional replacement of equipment is necessary.

There are also advantages to swapping an old consumer unit for a modern one such as:

•    Updated technology
•    Electrical inspection for dangers
•    Surge protection
•    Better electric shock protection

When we consider how long consumer units tend to last, they are actually incredible value.

Electrical Fault Finding

Where a fuseboard is blowing fuses, a consumer unit is tripping switches, sockets aren’t working or there is a funny burning smell. You will likely need a trustworthy ELECTRICIAN IN BEANFIELD to come and investigate for you. 
Electrical testing and investigations when things have gone wrong are known as Electrical Fault Finding. The process involves good knowledge of electrical wiring, cable routes and wiring regulations to allow an electrician to locate and pinpoint faulty cables, sockets, and other electrical accessories.

What does fault finding involve?

We have specialised electrical test equipment that we use in order to determine the TYPE of fault that has occurred, the specific CIRCUIT the fault is located on and to trace and PINPOINT the issue to a certain place. 
Sometimes, electrical faults are buried under the floor or in the walls and these situations will often involve lifting carpets and floorboards in order to locate a faulty section.
