Many new housing developments have been popping up in recent years in Darlington, and not many buyers will have a fuse box replacement high on their list of priorities. 

The addition of security lighting can improve pretty much every home security system. Well-lit properties are less likely to attract the interest of a trespasser as such individuals do not want to be seen so the light itself is a huge deterrent. When it comes to security lighting ideas there are different considerations to be made when making your selection.

In the world we live in, there's no denying our heavy dependence on electricity. Whilst for the most part our electricals work exactly as required; we don’t often consider what we would do in the event that they don’t.

When problems occur it's time to call a registered emergency electrician in Darlington.

Whether you are a homeowner, tenant or landlord electrical safety checks are essential to ensuring safety in the home.

Every day we rely upon on our electrical systems and depend on our electrics to work without fault or disruption to our daily lives.

You may hear of an electrical condition report of EICR referred to as fixed wire testing, Periodic inspection and testing, electrical testing or hard wire testing.

But what do any of these actually mean and why do you need one?

The purpose of an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is to check if an electrical installation is in a safe working condition and safe for continued use.

Outdoor electrical equipment saves a great deal of time and effort when doing jobs in the garden. From the hedge trimmers to electric paint sprayers there’s a huge range of tools available to speed up lengthily tiresome work. Having the right tools available is great, however the real problem can be where to plug them in!

Just on an Electrical Safety check today and we are checking the earths at the gas meter.

So we can see the earth to the gas meter but I can't see the fuse board where it is supposed to go back but as you can see, as I pull on it it comes straight out of the wall.

Someone has just made it look like the earth was connected!

This is why these electrical safety checks are so important! 

Tripping electrics can leave you feeling a range of feelings from annoyed to distressed. Whilst these feelings are completely understandable this shows that the protection that you have in place in your fuse board is working as it should, detecting a fault and then shutting down to protect you and your appliances from an electric shock or surge.

With electrical safety and installations adapting in an ever-changing world, it's important to check that your electric system in your home is working safely and efficiently. Health and safety regulations and requirements are reviewed and amended regularly, not to mention natural deterioration of wires and sockets. With this in mind it’s always best to keep regular schedule of electrical testing and maintenance.
