Fault Finding

Are you in need of an electrician in Darlington?

We offer a personal service being a small company in comparison to a national firm where I really do believe the level of service is much greater.

Things to bear in mind when hiring an electrician in Darlington:

Do they have the relevant insurances?

Everyone from time to time makes mistakes unintentionally and in some cases this can result in serious damage to building or contents. In this instance a claim against the insurance in the only way to go.

Have you ever clicked a switch and found the room plunged into darkness? This is known as tripping the fuse box. Before you get onto the phone to your local domestic electrician, see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

The fuse box is able to detect abnormal fluctuations in electrical current. A sudden change in flow can result in the electrical supply being shut off. This may seem a bit irritating, however, it is a protective measure. It could save you from an electrical shock or an electrical fire.

It’s a well-known fact that effective lighting solutions are often a great way to enhance features in your home and adding or altering your light set up can completely change the feel to your space. With household bills on the rise many people feel reluctant in adding or altering new lighting in their homes so not to increase costs further. However, this doesn’t have to be the case and if you are on the hunt for energy saving lighting in Darlington read on!

Many people mention in passing to me how difficult it can be to find a reliable electrician in Darlington. Over the years a lot of effort has gone into making the process of finding electrician and checking qualifications and registration more accessible which is great news, however a lot of this isn't common knowledge amongst our customers who often aren't sure where the best places to look are.

Generally speaking, the only time people ever look at their fuse box is when a switch trips, the rest of the time the fuse box is hidden away doing its job feeding electricity throughout your home and keeping you safe from the potential dangers of electricity. If something does go wrong your fuse box is designed to protect you from the risk of electrocution or fire.

Many people have heard the term RCD or RCBO but what does it actually mean and what does an RCD and RCBO do?

RCD stands for Residual current device. They offer a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses and circuit breakers cannot provide.  In short, it’s a life saving device designed to prevent you from receiving a fatal electric shock should you come into contact with something live such as a bare wire. An RCD can also provide protection against electrical fires.

Home electrics can be a tricky business and it’s always best to have a qualified, registered and local electricians' details on hand if you ever find that you need to call for electrical assistance.
