Electricity is the most widely used in both homes and offices. If not handled carefully and properly, electrical problems can result in becoming a hazard for your health and property. Next to natural gas, working with live electrical wires is the most dangerous without the know-how and right tools in any home or office. So, whether it is a new installation or something as little as changing the bulb, it is recommended that you call an electrician from Builders London to conduct the job safely and carefully.
With that said, there will be times when you would require an emergency electrician. We are hoping that you do not experience such emergencies and always take proper precautions, but it is better to be safe. So, take a look at the following situations when you should straight away call an emergency electrician in central London.
The blowing of fuse from time to time is normal, but when this happens too frequently, it is a sign that there is a serious problem in the electrical system of your home or office. This typically happens when the system is drawing more electricity than what the fuse is capable of handling. You might be tempted to change the fuse yourself, but it is best to contact an electrician to inspect your electrical panel and diagnose the problem.
When your electrical appliances or switches are feeling warm to touch without any reason, you might be looking at an electrical problem. For instance, you did not use your microwave and yet, it is warm when you touch it. Call one of our electricians immediately.
It is abnormal for lights to flicker. Some of the reasons why this might happen are when you turn on an electrical appliance that draws a lot of power or it might happen randomly. Flickering of lights typically means that there is an electrical demand that is higher than the power outlet. You need to call an electrician who will check the problem and if required, install additional power outlets so that you do not face this issue.
If a power point is providing electricity to several appliances at once, it is a sign that you must install more power outlets. Overloaded power points might lead to causing huge stress on your entire electrical system. This can result in causing electrical problems which might be quite expensive to repair.
If you have not installed new appliances recently, but your electrical bill seems to be increasing month on month, the chances are that your electrical system is having a problem and needs to be checked immediately. You need to avail yourself of our emergency electrician service so that your electrical system is thoroughly checked and the problem is fixed before it goes out of hand. Our electricians will come to your property and check what circuits are inefficient and also diagnose the entire electrical system. They have the required tools and expertise to fix the problem within a few hours so that you do not have to pay a huge electrical bill.
If you feel a small electrical shock when touching an appliance, you need to get it checked as soon as possible. This is a sign that your electrical system has a problem and if you ignore it, it can lead to something dangerous. The appliances might become dangerous to use and the mild shocks might increase in their intensity. One of the reasons why this might happen is that residual current is getting stored in the appliances and on touching it, that stored electricity is being transferred to you. To protect your life, you need to call our electricians immediately. The problem must be inspected and solved immediately.
These are a few signs that means that you need an emergency electrician. You can rely on our team of electricians as they are thorough professionals who have years of experience and training.

Our trained electricians will tell you that a thermal imaging inspection survey is recommended and this should form a part of your annual maintenance programme. A thermal imaging survey means capturing thermal pictures of electrical distribution equipment, such as MCB boards, fuse boards, control panels and switchboards. The photographs are analysed to find out faults which might have the potential to result in equipment failure or property damage.
However, this is not enough. All of your electrical safety devices must be maintained and properly operated to make sure that they are reliable. This even includes the main switch panel. For this, a complete shut down of power is required.

This will help you to identify the problems from before and take necessary steps.
