Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
A fuse box uses rewirable fuses or cartridge fuses to protect circuits. A modern consumer unit uses circuit breakers (MCBs) that switch off automatically and can be reset. Consumer units are safer and more reliable.
How often should portable appliances be PAT tested?
Testing frequency depends on the appliance and environment. High-use items in workplaces typically need annual testing. Less frequently used appliances in homes may be tested less often. A qualified electrician can advise on requirements.
Can I add new sockets to any wall?
Not always. Cable must run safely from the consumer unit or an existing circuit. Some walls contain pipes or other obstacles. An electrician will assess the practicality and safety of new socket locations.
What should I check before rewiring a property?
Check for asbestos in old insulation (common before 2000). Identify cable routes through walls. Confirm water and gas pipe locations. An electrician will survey the property before starting work.
Do all electric vehicles need the same type of charger?
No. Different vehicles accept different charging connectors and power levels. The correct charger type depends on the vehicle's onboard equipment. Compatibility should be confirmed before installation.
Why do circuit breakers trip more than old fuses?
They don't trip more; they're more sensitive to overloads and faults. Modern circuit breakers are designed to protect against electrical hazards. If breakers trip frequently, it usually indicates a fault that needs investigation.
