Fusebox upgrades

Many of the blogs i have written in the past mention how important it is to have an RCD fitted in your home. Although i've explained the importance of having one, i've never actually explained what an RCD does and how it protects the household.

An RCD stands for Residual Current Device. It is an essential safety device that automatically cuts off the electricity if there is a problem. This might sound pretty boring and bog standard, and you might even wonder what the point of having one is.

Having made the decision to replace your old fuseboard, it is important to ensure that this important job is completed by a competent, registered electrician.

Think of your fuseboard as the main hub of your home- its the 'thinking center' to all of the electrical aspects in your home. If the job is carried out incorrectly, your home will be in a dangerous condition and your family is at risk from electrical harm.

Do you need an Electrician in Sleaford?

A recent survey sent to UK householders reveal the dangerous risks that UK householders take when carrying out work on their home electrics.

Whilst not all DIY electrical work is illegal, it does require a common sense approach. It is perfectly legal for you to carry out like for like DIY replacements in your home, so
if you are looking to replace some lights in your living room or replace a damaged socket front you can do this - but only if you feel confident in doing so.

However it seems as though householders are not aware that they are breaking the law as they carry out some high scale electrical projects in their homes. The main
problem of course here is that there is no guarantee that the work is safe nor is it certified maeaning the work not only puts the home and family members at risk but it
could also cause problems at a later date if the house were to be sold.

The majority of our customers don't understand what Part P actually means. However most customers have heard of NAPIT and feel these 'letters' mean something good and they should look for them when searching for an electrician.

Whilst the true meaning of what NAPIT does or means never springs to mind in 90% of cases, it is known for being a mark of quality and a safe, high standard of workmanship by registered Electricans in Sleaford.

This is huge piece of mind for customers who struggle to find the right electrician and cannot be excpected to understand the meaning of the Part P building regulation.

So why have we always been and always will be a NAPIT registered electrician?Quite simply,it is for my customers piece of mind, not just for the fact they recognise NAPIT as a mark of quality but also for our belief in each and every job being carried out to the same high standard and ensuring customer satisfaction at the end.
