Incorrect, Outdated, or poorly functioning protective devices: Designed to protect you and your home from shocks and fires.
Outdated wiring: Older homes might have wiring that doesn't meet current safety standards.
Overloaded circuits: Too many appliances plugged into one circuit can pose a fire risk.
Earthing faults: Issues with earthing can increase the risk of electric shock.
Damaged or loose wiring: This can be a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
Faulty electrical fittings: Worn-out sockets, switches, or light fittings should be replaced for safety.
The only real way of telling whether your electrics are completely safe is by having a thorough health check on the electrics (EICR) carried out by an experienced electrician. We specialise in these - please find out more here.
