New consumer units feature RCD (residual current device) fuses that trip instantly when a fault occurs, protecting you and your family from electrocution (which can kill and cause electrical fires).

Some older homes in Billericay still have old fuse boxes with traditional fuses with wire. These don’t cut out as fast as RCD’s, are inconvenient as every time a fuse blows, the wire has to be replaced manually (RCD’s are re-activated with the flick of a switch) and are a potential fire risk.

Old fuse boxes have wooden bases. New consumer units are made from metal and are much safer.

The consumer unit’s the most important part of any electrical system. The unit’s connected to the electric meter, sockets, lighting and electrical appliances and protects them from electrical overload.

Most Billericay homes built before 1991 still have a 4-6mm wire which’s no longer up to the present regulations.We’ll ensure your Earthing & Bondings up to the necessary BS7671 standard.

• The electrical installation of a rented property must be safe at the tenancy start and maintained to a safe condition throughout the tenancy.
• Houses in multiple occupations (HMO) is inspected every five years (Electrical Installation Condition Report, commonly known as EICR)
• Appliances are safe with CE markings

Electrical Installation Condition Reports

To be on the safe side, it’s recommended that Electrical Installation Condition Reports are carried out annually on both HMO and non-HMO properties, which will fully cover your back as a landlord.

In the event of an electrical accident, you’ll have to prove you have met your responsibilities as a landlord and that a fully qualified and certified Electrician checked your property.

At a minimum, you should have an EICR every five years or every time the properties let to a new tenant.

We offer EICR’s at a reasonable price and thoroughly test your consumer unit, earthing, fuses, wiring, light fittings and sockets.

Any faults will be corrected, and a certificate’s issued once the inspection’s complete.

PAT Testing

The EICR only covers the built-in Electrical system check portable electrical appliances with PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing).

Plug-in appliances such as irons, washing machines, fridges, hoovers etc., are checked and tested for faults to ensure they’re safe for your tenants.

Annual PAT testing’s a legal requirement for (HMO) landlords but not for private landlords, many of which have yearly PAT testing anyway for extra protection.

Or we can upgrade your existing electrical system to reflect your requirements and production needs better if you run a commercial enterprise.

Any of the above symptoms need to be checked and corrected. Electrical faults can be dangerous and should be dealt with.

We’ll ensure the lights show off your other security systems, so any intruder notices your alarm system and CCTV cameras.

A combination of well placed timed and motion sensor lighting accomplishes security perfectly.

Security lighting is inexpensive and, when fitted with energy-efficient LED lightbulbs, is cheap to run also.
