Electrical Safety

There are many things that you can do to confirm basic electrical safety in your home without the need for an electrician. For example:

• Check Electrical Switches and Sockets
• Visually check appliances
• Consider Extension Lead usage
• Check plug cords
• Test your RCD when required

Checking electrical switches and sockets

Have a good look at every electrical switch and socket around your home. Find the ones that you had forgotten about behind the couch and washing machine inspect them. If you see signs of cracking, discolouration or they are loose then it’s a sign that repairs are necessary. Contact us to come and replace or repair any damage for you.

Visually checking appliances

Check your appliances over for missing knobs, buttons, damage to the case, cracks, or funny smells. If you suspect that appliances are not as they should be it may be time to replace them for new.

Consider Extension Lead Usage

Extension leads are not intended as a permanent power supply solution to appliances. If you have several extension leads throughout your home consider the equipment that you are plugging into them. It is easy to overload extension leads leading to overheating, shorting out and potential electrical fires.

Check Plug Cords

Each plug cord should be undamaged and have no coloured wiring showing outside of the plug top. If you can see the single insulation (brown, blue, green/yellow) outside of the plug top or body of the appliance then it needs fixing quickly.

Single insulation does not offer sufficient protection from electrical shocks or shorting out and as such it must be rectified immediately.

Test your RCD when required

The electric shock protection devices in your home (RCD) need checking every 6 months. You can do this by pressing the test button on the device. It should trip when the button is pushed. If the device does not trip or does not turn on once it has tripped then it is likely faulty and should be replaced by an electrician.

If you would like more information on electrical safety in the home, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can offer electrical inspections on your home wiring to give you peace of mind.
