Electrical Testing in Bournemouth

Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips

Circuit breakers trip to prevent overloads, but repeated trips indicate your wiring may be outdated or damaged. Electrical testing can identify the root cause, and rewiring paired with fuse board upgrades ensures your Bournemouth property is safe, reliable, and fully compliant.

Flickering or Dimming Lights

Lights that flicker or dim when other appliances are in use often indicate insufficient or degrading wiring. This can damage electronics over time. Rewiring, combined with modern fuse boards, stabilises your home’s power supply and prevents unexpected outages.

Burning Smells or Discoloured Outlets

A persistent burning smell, scorch marks, or discoloured outlets are serious warning signs. Faulty wiring can overheat, posing fire risks. Our electricians perform comprehensive electrical testing and fuse board inspections to correct these issues, ensuring your Bournemouth home remains safe.

Buzzing or Sparking Outlets

Buzzing, crackling, or visible sparks when using outlets suggest loose or faulty wiring connections. Ignoring this can lead to electrical fires. We conduct thorough electrical testing and rewiring where necessary, including fuse board upgrades, to keep your property and family protected.

Mild Electrical Shocks

If you experience small shocks when touching appliances or switches, it could mean poor grounding or damaged wiring. This is both unpleasant and hazardous. Fuse board upgrades and electrical testing help prevent electrical shocks and ensure your Bournemouth property is fully safe.

Insufficient Outlets

Older homes often lack sufficient electrical sockets for modern needs, leading to overuse of extension cords. Our electricians can add additional outlets and upgrade your fuse board to accommodate modern energy demands.

Overheating Appliances

Appliances that frequently overheat may indicate your electrical system cannot handle the load. Electrical testing identifies overloaded circuits, and rewiring with modern fuse boards resolves these issues, improving appliance lifespan and safety.

High Energy Bills

Unexpectedly high electricity bills can sometimes be traced to outdated wiring and inefficient circuits. Rewiring, fuse board upgrades, and electrical testing improve efficiency, lower energy waste, and reduce monthly electricity costs.

Visible Wear and Tear

Frayed, chewed, or damaged wires signal immediate danger. Homes in Bournemouth, especially older or coastal properties, can experience accelerated wear due to environmental factors. Our electricians replace damaged wiring and upgrade fuse boards to prevent hazards.
