Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What is a consumer unit and why do I need to upgrade one?

A consumer unit is the main switch and circuit breaker box. Old fuse boxes are unsafe and no longer meet building regulations. Modern consumer units have circuit breakers and RCD protection to prevent electrocution and fire.

Can I add sockets myself or extend circuits?

Any changes to fixed wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. Unsafe DIY work can cause fire and electrocution. Work must meet Building Regulations and be tested and certified.

What do I need to know about EV charger installation?

A home charger needs a dedicated circuit, proper earthing and RCD protection, and power assessment of your supply. Installation must be done by a qualified electrician and the charger must be type-approved.

How often should PAT testing be done in a workplace?

Frequency depends on equipment type and environment. High-risk items in harsh environments may need testing annually; low-risk items in offices every two to three years. An electrician can advise on your specific needs.

What's the difference between an RCD and a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker protects against overload and short circuits. An RCD detects earth faults and cuts power in milliseconds to prevent electrocution. Modern consumer units have both types for complete protection.
