Earthing and Bonding in Rockingham

What exactly is earthing and bonding?

Earthing

Earthing is the process of ensuring that all metal parts of the electrical system such as the case of appliances, switches, sockets, and other electrical equipment are safely connected to the earthing terminal of the electrical system. 
Earthing provides a safe path for any electrical faults to disappear to helping prevent electric shocks, overload, and fire.

The importance of correct earthing is vital in ensuring your safety, preventing damage to the electrical system, and reducing the risk of shocks.

Bonding

Bonding is a process whereby we connect parts of the property to the earthing system where required. In domestic homes this is usually the gas and water pipes. Other parts of the property may need bonding too but this has to be determined by an electrician. A professional electrician has the correct test equipment and knowledge to carry out the required testing to establish WHAT needs bonding.

Check your pipes

If you don’t have any green and yellow wires connected to the water pipe, gas pipe, around the boiler in your home then you may need bonding carried out. In some homes, bonding is not necessary but where it is required, it is of the upmost importance that this is done correctly by a professional.

If you are unsure of the safety of your earthing or bonding then please get in touch. I will be happy to help advise of what is needed.
