My House Hasn’t Burned Down Yet So My Wiring Must Be Fine, Right?

We hear this more often than you’d think!

Just because your electrics seem to be working doesn’t mean they’re safe. Wiring can degrade slowly, and problems build up over time especially in older homes where regulations were different, or where DIY jobs have been done without certification.

Tell tale signs of unsafe wiring include:

• Fuses tripping regularly
• Buzzing socket
• Lights flickering
• Burning smells
• Warm or discoloured faceplates
• Old rewireable fuses 

If in doubt, book an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) with us. It’s the simplest way to check if you’re in the clear or if action’s needed before things go bang.
