5 signs that you need to call an electrician
Electrical,
Information
As one of the oldest electrical contractors in the UK, we have seen pretty much everything when it comes to electrical work in the commercial sector.
And here are 5 of the most common signs that you may need to call us for electrical repairs.
1 -The Smell of Burning / Unusual Smells
It may come from outlets, switches or around electrical powered equipment such as office computers and production equipment. The unusual smell may be electrical based and you should call our commercial and industrial electrical team to investigate.
2 – Flickering Lights
While the most common cause of a flickering light is the light bulb, if you have replaced it and the light is still flickering then it could be a sign that the electrical wiring in your facility has a problem.
3 – Unusual Sounds
If you can hear unusual sounds coming from electrical appliances, plug sockets, lights and switches, it may be a cause of faulty, damaged or worn out wiring. Hissing and clicking sounds are the most common and you should call our 24/7 call out team to investigate.
4 – Blown Breakers / Fuses
The electrical demands on commercial facilities is always growing. In a hotel for example, the need to power laptops, mobile phones, TV’s, hair dryers, showers and so much more can put a strain on the electrical demands of the buildings electrical supply. If you are finding that the breakers cannot handle the electrical load of your commercial premises then our electrical contractor team can install a new more powerful system to handle the demands.
5 – Electrical Shocks
With the number of safety features integrated into every day life, if you receive an electrical shock from a switch then this is a serious safety hazard and needs to be dealt with immediately. In most cases, it will be a simple re-wiring issue but needs to be dealt with asap.
