Welcome to TM Hughes & Son. Our Electrical work in Epping includes Earthing & Bonding.

Electrical safety is a top priority for any home or business. One aspect often overlooked by property owners is the status of their Earthing & Bonding.

Whether renovating a quaint cottage or moving into a newly built apartment, knowing your electrical system is safely grounded and properly bonded is essential.

Understanding Earthing & Bonding

Earthing is the process by which certain parts of an electrical system (most commonly exposed metal components) are connected to the ground. This ‘earth connection’ provides a safe pathway for excess electricity to travel to the ground if a fault occurs.

Bonding connects various metal parts within your property to reduce their potential differences. For instance, if your metal water pipes and gas pipes aren’t correctly bonded, an electrical fault could lead to a shock when you touch one of these metal surfaces.

Why Proper Earthing & Bonding Is Important

Think of Earthing & Bonding as a safety net. Electricity can escape its intended path if your wiring has a fault—like a damaged cable or faulty appliance.

Without earthing, a metal object could become live, and anyone who touches it risks a severe electric shock. Furthermore, if the Bonding in your Epping home isn’t up to scratch, the risk of electric shock remains even with good Earthing.

Bonding ensures all metalwork has the same electrical potential, meaning you won’t inadvertently become the conductor between two differently charged objects.

How Our Electricians Check Earthing & Bonding

Our Electricians follow a thorough testing protocol when undertaking new electrical installations, repairs or upgrades. We check the continuity of all bonding connections, ensuring every metal pipe or structural element has a solid link to the main earthing terminal. We also measure the earth fault loop impedance, ensuring the path for fault current is low enough to safely trigger protective devices like circuit breakers.

Why You Need a Periodic EICR

Even if your home was perfectly earthed and bonded when built, time and usage can cause degradation.

A Periodic Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is needed to verify the safety of your property’s electrical system. Electricians examine everything from wiring quality to the condition of your Bonding connections. If problems are detected, they can be rectified to ensure your property’s electrical system is safe.
