An electrician fixes electrical things when they fail, and installs electrical things when and where they are needed. Whether that is fitting a new ceiling light or mending a damaged fuse box, or even re-wiring a whole building, commercial and domestic electricians undertake all kinds of electrical installation, maintenance and repair. When they need an electrician, Stockport households and businesses know to call us.

When you call for a domestic electrician some firms will charge a “call out fee” just for turning up – even if they do not do any work. We do not do business in that way. When you call for our domestic electrical services we will come and size up the job, work out what the problem is and then quote for the job. If we do not do any work, you do not pay any charges.

A rewire is the replacement of some, or even all of the components making up a property’s electrical system. The rewire will involve replacing cabling, circuit breakers and electrical outlets, bringing the property’s electrical system up to the latest standards.

In a full rewire, new electrical cabling will be pulled through internal cavities below floors, above ceilings and within walls. The removal of some plaster may be required, floorboards and carpets may be lifted and walls may be drilled to facilitate the removal of old wiring and the installation of new.

Commercial and domestic wiring has a lifespan of around twenty five to forty years. However, it is the case that the deterioration of electrical wiring does not occur at a predictable rate, so check with a properly qualified electrician for advice if you think you might need your house rewiring.

There are several important signs that indicate issues with your electrical systems really should be dealt with:

• Always needing adaptors and extension leads: Adaptors that allow you to plug more than one device into the same socket are intended for short term use. If you are using them continuously that is a clear sign that you need more outlets in your space.
• Sparks and flickering: If you get sparks when you flick switches or insert plugs into sockets, or your lights often flicker you should get them checked for both safety and efficiency.
• Larger than expected energy bills: Poorly maintained equipment can be inefficient, leading to greater than necessary power use which raises both your carbon footprint and your bills.

If you notice any of these key signs or have any concerns about electrical safety you should always contact a qualified electrician.

If it is safe to do so, turn off the power, then call appropriate assistance. If a person has suffered an electric shock do not touch them if the power is still on – the human body conducts electricity very well and you do not want to create another casualty. Call emergency services is they are required, then call a trusted electrician to resolve the electrical issue.

Electricians in Stockport, and elsewhere get asked this a lot. The answer is not always straightforward. Certainly more energy efficient appliances will use less energy, but there is a calculation to be made about how long the savings will take to cover the cost of the new appliance. If you are not already using low energy LED lightbulbs that is an inexpensive way to reduce costs. Remember too that just because an appliance is new does not mean it will be energy efficient. It is often best to seek the advice of an electrician, Stockport residents could take advantage of our knowledge in this area.
