Any electrical equipment which is plugged into the mains supply has to rely upon the integrity of the fixed installation.

Even if you have had all your appliances inspected and tested there is still a very real danger that the installation could be faulty.

THE SAFETY AND FUNCTIONING OF MANY PORTABLE APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT DEPEND ON THE INTEGRITY OF THE FIXED INSTALLATION.  CONTACT US NOW FOR A FREE ESTIMATE.

The initial inspection and subsequent Periodic inspection and testing of the fixed installation will establish whether the installation is safe and fit for continued use.

A Periodic Test will Identify:

  • If any of your electrical circuits are deteriating due to age.
  • If any of your electrical circuits are becoming overloaded.
  • Highlight any deficiencies with the circuit protection (Fuses) or any of the safety systems    employed throughout the installation.
  • Identify any shock or fire risks within your electrical installations
  • Identify poor DIY electrical work within the electrical installations
  • Identify faulty electrical accessories
  • Identify incorrect wiring
  • Correct polarity
  • Continuity of conductors
  •  Frequencies of the periodic inspection for the fixed installation will depend on factors as the type of premises and the use the installation recieves.
