Earthing and Bonding

What exactly is earthing and bonding?

Earthing is the safety wires in the electrical system that dispose of electrical faults when things go wrong. An electrical system can function perfectly well without the earth wire but as soon as a fault develops, the earthing becomes VITAL!

You would never know what the earthing was incorrect in your home until an appliance went faulty, a live wire slipped out of a light fitting or another potentially dangerous electrical issue occurred.

Bonding is the safety earth connection to your homes water and gas pipework. It is there to stop a dangerous difference in voltage from occurring during electrical faults. When we connect bonding to the pipework, we ensure that if an electrical fault develops that the pipes are raised to the same voltage as the faulty parts.

This sounds dangerous but in fact, making sure that everything is the same voltage is actually very safe as it is very difficult to get a shock by touching two live parts at the same voltage.

If you would like to know more about Earthing and Bonding or have some concerns over the electrical safety in your home then just get in touch and we will be happy to assist you.
