Autumn Electrical 2024
For those who live in Essex, Autumn is a great time to undertake electrical work in your home. Here’s why the months of September, October and November are perfect:
Mild & Stable Weather
Essex enjoys a more comfortable climate in autumn (September to November). With average temperatures between 8°C and 17°C, it’s a good time for electricians to perform indoor and outdoor tasks. Unlike the unpredictable weather of winter, autumn offers more stable and convenient temperatures for electrical work.
Preparing For Winter
Like the rest of the UK, Essex has cold winters with increased reliance on electrical heating and lighting. Completing electrical work in the autumn ensures everything functions efficiently before the colder, darker months, providing you with a sense of security. Autumn is perfect for preparing if you need to install or service heating systems, such as electric radiators, underfloor heating, or even backup power systems.
Electrician Availability
In Essex, spring and summer are popular times for home renovations, making scheduling tradespeople like electricians harder. Demand often drops slightly in autumn, so our electricians are more readily available.
Shorter Days Highlight Lighting Needs
As daylight hours decrease in the autumn, you’ll notice if indoor or outdoor lighting needs upgrading. It’s an excellent time to enhance security lighting, fix flickering lights, or install additional sockets indoors or in your outdoor living spaces.
Autumn in Essex is an excellent time for electrical work. You’ll avoid the busier summer season, prepare for the winter, and take advantage of more predictable weather.

The right fitting and placement of security lighting deters these unwanted intruders.
Security lighting makes your property look occupied. It also lights CCTV cameras and alarms, alerting intruders that the property has security.
If this is not enough to scare off an intruder, security lighting will ensure clear CCTV footage. Increasing this will improve the likelihood of catching the perpetrator.
Our electricians fit all types of security lighting. These include motion sensors, solar lights, infrared sensors, timed lights, and floodlights. Electricians create security lighting systems to illuminate at-risk areas. These include gates, doors, and alleyways and dark areas.

Outdoor Power
People who use garden power tools and portable outdoor lighting need outdoor power.
The old method for supplying power outside uses an extension lead. Connect it to an indoor socket and run it outside.
Extension leads work but is not ideal. They are a tripping hazard and tend to pull out of the sockets.
Outdoor sockets are the solution. You can plug your lighting and tools into a socket on an outdoor wall.
One of our electricians will connect the outdoor socket to your power supply. The sockets are waterproof and covered. Some have built-in RCD fuses for safety.

Repairs include replacing faulty sockets. Such as those with burn marks or burning smells. Replacing RCD fuses that trip consistently. The buzzing of consumer units and arcing in sockets and switches.
Consumer Units
We can upgrade your old fusebox or consumer unit or replace it with a new one that meets the latest regulations.
The consumer unit is the most vital part of every Electrical system. It contains a range of RCD, MCB, and RCBO fuses that prevent electrocution and fire in case of a fault.
New consumer units made from non-combustible metal are incredibly safe.
