Appliance Installation
Installing new electric appliances, like ovens, might look simple. But for safety, it’s best to choose a professional. Our qualified electricians ensure a safe, correct installation. This prevents risks to you and your family.
We provide a straightforward, safe solution. Our team installs your appliances quickly and safely. They ensure everything works well with your electrical system.
Consumer Unit Installation & Upgrade
We fit new, safe consumer units in new buildings and extensions and can update old ones and fuse boxes. Our new units have RCD (residual current device) fuses. They turn off instantly if there’s a fault, keeping you safe from electrocution and electrical fires.
Many older homes in Billericay still have old fuse boxes. These have traditional fuses with wire, which don’t turn off as quickly as RCDs. They’re less convenient because you must change the wire each time a fuse blows. RCDs just need a switch flick. Also, old fuse boxes can be a fire risk. Old fuse boxes are on wooden bases, but new ones are metal and much safer.
The consumer unit is key to your electrical system. It connects to your electric meter, sockets, lights, and appliances. It protects them from electrical overload.
Get in touch for a free, no-obligation survey and quote for your new Consumer Unit.
Earthing & Bonding
Whenever we install new electrical, we check the Earthing and Bonding. This is important to protect residents from electrocution by ‘earthing’ the current.
In Billericay, many homes built before 1991 have a 4-6mm wire, which doesn’t meet current standards. It’s best to get it checked by a member of our team. We’ll make sure your Earthing and bonding meet the required BS7671 standard.
Landlords EICR Certificates
Keeping electrical systems and appliances legally compliant can be a worry for landlords, but it doesn’t have to be. We provide EICR certificates to ensure your property is safe for tenants. This keeps you legally compliant and your insurance valid.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports
Keeping electrical systems and appliances legally compliant can be a worry for landlords, but it doesn’t have to be. We provide EICR certificates to ensure your property is safe for tenants. This keeps you legally compliant and your insurance valid.
A rented property’s electrical installation must be safe starting and throughout the tenancy. HMOs (Houses in multiple occupations) require an inspection every five years. It is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Appliances must be safe, as indicated by CE markings. For safety, we recommend annual EICR checks for both HMO and non-HMO properties . This covers you as a landlord. If there’s an electrical accident, you must show that a qualified electrician checked your property.
An EICR should be done every five years or whenever a new tenant moves in. Our EICRs are reasonably priced. We thoroughly test your consumer unit, earthing, fuses, wiring, light fittings, and sockets. We fix any faults and issue a certificate after inspection.
Fault Finding & Electrical Repairs
We’re good at quickly finding and fixing electrical problems without costing you too much. After pinpointing the issue, one of our electricians will sort it out quickly. They’ll either adjust, repair, or replace parts as needed. Then, we check everything to ensure your electrical system is safe and working correctly.
Burnt sockets, shocks, noisy units, tripped fuses and flickered lights are common problems. It’s important to fix these things fast. Electrical issues can be dangerous, and we’re here to help you safely and affordably.
Indoor Lighting
Indoor lighting has changed a lot recently. It’s tough to choose with so many kinds of lights and bulbs. But don’t worry. Your local Billericay Electricians can help.
Good lighting is essential in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It allows you to use and enjoy your home at its best.
We can design and set up the perfect lighting for your home. With the right lights in each room, you’ll have the best atmosphere for all your activities.
Outdoor Lighting
More people are adding outdoor lighting to turn their gardens into living spaces. And it’s easy to see why. With the right lighting, you can enjoy evenings outside with friends, even after dark. Outdoor lights also make your home safer. They keep burglars away and stop trips and falls if you need to go outside at night.
Modern LED lights for outdoor use are cheaper now and cost less to run than old halogen bulbs. We can install garden, landscape, and security lights. Our Electricians will design and install the best lighting system for your unique home.
Rewiring
Every homeowner and landlord in Billericay should have their wiring checked every ten years. They should rewire their house every thirty years.
The wiring gets old and worn out. Some homes here still have old wiring systems (red live, black neutral, and green earth wires) that stopped being used in 1970.
Our electricians can do full or partial rewiring and replace consumer units. This brings your home to the latest standards (with brown live, blue neutral, yellow, and green earth wires). We install modern twin and earth cables that handle today’s homes and appliances perfectly.
Sockets
Our Billericay Electricians can update your current outlets or install new ones in your home. We install all kinds of sockets, like ones with USB ports for charging phones and those with built-in RCDs for safety.
We’ll use fused connection units for fixed appliances like cookers and boilers. These have built-in fuses, and we hardwire the appliance to them.
Upgrading sockets can be as simple as changing the faceplate without replacing the backbox on your wall. This keeps live wires safely tucked away. You don’t have to stick to plain plastic faceplates. Many modern options, such as stainless steel, metal, coloured plastic, and wood, are available to suit your decor.
Outdoor Sockets
Outdoor sockets are really useful in Billericay gardens. They let you use things like lawnmowers and portable lights without long, annoying extension cords that can trip someone.
These sockets are made to handle water and dust. They’re built from tough plastic and have spring-loaded covers that close when you’re not using them. This design stops plugs from coming loose. If you’ve ever used an electric lawnmower, you know how annoying it is when the cable stretches and unplugs, cutting the power.
For the best safety, let us install outdoor sockets with RCDs. This protects you from electric shock if you accidentally cut a cable while working in your garden.
Security Lighting
Secure your home or business with our security lighting services. Nowadays, any property can be targeted for vandalism or theft.
Studies show that well-lit buildings are less likely to be targeted by criminals. Darkness is a criminal’s friend, but they avoid light. A building with lights on seems occupied, which increases the risk of intruders. They know CCTV can spot them.
Our designs light up areas that need it most, like dark doors, windows, alleys, and yards or garages. We ensure the lights highlight your other security features, like alarms and CCTV, to deter intruders. Timed and motion-sensor lighting work well for security. Security lighting doesn’t cost much, and with energy-efficient LED bulbs, it’s also cheap to run.
Smoke, Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarms
It’s important to ensure your home’s safety. A big part is correctly installing alarm systems, including smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide alarms.
These devices can save lives. They warn you early about dangers, giving you peace of mind and time to react. We provide a complete installation service for all these alarms. Alarm systems are interlinked so everyone on every floor is notified in the event of a fire.
