Below, we explain common electrical emergencies that our domestic, industrial and commercial electricians deal with. Please contact us if you need fast electrical services or scheduled work, such as electrical PAT testing or property rewires.
Generally, an emergency involves a risk to health, safety or property. When it comes to electrics, the following are common emergencies:
Burning smells and sparks from electrics can indicate a fault, damage, or overheating wires or components, which can cause electrical fires. You may need new wiring to make the system safe.
If you get an electric shock from a switch, wire or other equipment, there could be an electrical fault. It’s important to contact a local emergency electrician, such as our Maidenhead team, for an assessment and repairs or rewires to prevent further dangerous shocks. We also advise regular electrical PAT testing to maintain safe equipment.
Emergency commercial electricians, industrial electricians and domestic electricians can help if you notice damage such as exposed or damaged wires. These issues can result in electrical shocks, fire and equipment damage, so it’s important to seek professional electrical services as soon as possible.
If there isn’t a general power outage in your area, a sudden or prolonged loss of power could be an emergency. This depends on the cause and extent of the outage and personal circumstances. For example, a power outage would be an emergency if you have medical equipment that needs electricity to work.
Similarly, a tripping fuse board is not always an emergency, but it could signify an underlying electrical issue if it trips repeatedly. Getting to the bottom of the problem could prevent further damage and fires.
Covering Maidenhead and the surrounding areas, our local emergency electricians are on hand to help with any electrical emergency you might have. We also provide a full range of standard electrical work, from electrical PAT testing and commercial EICRs to emergency lighting and property rewires.
