​
-
Check appliances for damage and replace faulty ones.
​
Things to Avoid

Electrical Fires Are Not Just A Problem At Home
Businesses are at risk too. Over the past three years, 4,634 electrical fire callouts were made to UK businesses. That is 14% of all electrical fires.
​
While fires are less common in workplaces, safety laws like the Health and Safety at Work Act help. Regular checks such as PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) and fixed wire testing can make a big difference.
​​
​​​
What Causes Electrical Fires In Businesses?
Faulty equipment and appliances are behind 59% of fires. This often happens because businesses use IT equipment, kitchen appliances, and machinery for long hours.
​
Heating equipment caused 455 fire callouts in three years, especially during winter months. While cooking appliances like kettles, microwaves, and coffee machines led to 306 fires, even in workplaces with small kitchens.
​
While businesses face fewer fires than homes, the risk is still serious. Regular inspections help keep everyone safe. For more details, check out the full report in the Electrical times magazine.
​​​​
​​
When to Check Your Electrical Installations
Homeowners should get checks every five years or when moving into a new home. Look for the label near your fusebox for the last inspection date.
​
Tenants ask your landlord for the inspection certificate to ensure the system meets UK standards (BS 7671).
​​
​​​​
Warning Signs to Watch For
Hot or damaged sockets. If a socket feels hot or has burn marks, call an electrician immediately.
​
Overloaded sockets. Avoid using too many extension leads and consider installing additional sockets.

Free Guide to Fixing Electrical Emergencies
What To Do If You Have An Electrical Emergency?
You may be able to fix the problem yourself. If your electricity keeps tripping, it could be the RCD. Try these steps
​​​​
1. Locate the RCD
Find it in your consumer unit. It may be labeled as RCD, RCBO, or Residual Current Circuit Breaker.
​​​​
​
2. Identify the Faulty Circuit
Turn off all circuit breakers except the RCD. Switch them on one by one. If the RCD trips, you have found the faulty circuit.
​​
​
3. Unplug Devices
Unplug everything connected to the problem circuit. Reset the breaker or replace blown fuses carefully.
​​
​
4. Test Each Device
Plug devices back in one at a time. If the circuit trips, the last device plugged in may be the issue.
​​
​
5. Check for Damage
Look for burn marks, loose wires, or signs of overheating. Check if the circuit is overloaded or if there is a burning smell from the consumer unit.
​​​​
If the RCD keeps tripping, call our qualified 24 hour emergency electricians in Liverpool.
At Ideal Electrical Solutions, we provide fast, reliable service to keep you safe and resolve any electrical issue.
