Another example of the importance of electrical safety checks ⚡️

We carried out an EICR after the tenants of this property reported the circuit breaker frequently tripping.

What we soon discovered was that the house only had one socket circuit and they were using multiple air fryers and kitchen appliances at the same time- the circuit breaker was just doing its job- stopping the cable from overheating and causing a fire 🔥

This was how we found the wires- melted together🤦‍♂️

Thankfully it was a modern fuse board with the correct rating circuit breaker- but we’ve found countless oversize breakers and fuse wires in our time which on another day could cause an electrical fire.

So if you haven’t had your electrics checked in a while or ever- think about doing it soon 🤔

When you’ve think you’ve seen everything 😅

Aparantly the previous installer thought just filling the box full of mud for the main earth was enough 🤦‍♂️

Even more worrying is that this has had an electrical report carried out previously with nothing flagged.

When you use an electrician make sure they are qualified and competent.

Nice Friday job replacing these old fuseboards. The original hasn’t been touched since it was installed in 1992!

Mains and off peak both fully RCBO and SPD protected and the shower DB has been extended into the main consumer unit ⚡️

Finished the job off with a new light for the bathroom 💡🛁

Have a great bank holiday weekend ☀️

EICR find and rectified in attendance this morning.

See this a lot on pull cord shower isolators unfortunately.

The connections become slightly loose over time and start arcing causing heat and the burning you see on the cables.

Loose wires cause fires 🔥

Get your home electrics checked ⚡️
