Proactive inspections from the experts
Electrical safety is paramount for any environment, both residential and commercial. Our goal is to promote this for properties across Scarborough, delivering extensive testing with minimal disruption to our clients. Knowing when to book an inspection isn’t always clear however, here are some factors to consider:
You’ve added new appliances or equipment that use a lot of energy
The property was built pre-1975
You have two-prong outlets
Your wiring is made from aluminium
You need to use extension cords
Other signs you may need an electrical inspection
A burning smell
Odd sounds
Your property is over 40 years old
Your breakers are being tripped
Your fuses are blowing frequently
Lights are flickering or dimming
Shocks or sparks when using appliances
The essentials made safe
Whilst modern living would not function without electricity, it’s worth remembering that faulty electrics can present an extreme threat to safety. With almost half of all accidental house fires being caused by faulty wiring, NB Electrical & Renewables Ltd advocates the importance of regular testing, for the safety of you and your home or business.
Electrical safety certificates
It is compulsory for landlords to obtain an up-to-date electrical safety certificate before leasing a property. Safety checks, certifications and EICRs can only be carried out by qualified electricians. Dependent on the size and age of the property, and the complexity of the system, NB Electrical & Renewables Ltd can provide a cost-effective quote to keep you compliant.
