Electrical FAQ

Common Questions from London Customers

Simple answers about electrical faults, EICR reports, rewiring, fuse boards and emergency warning signs.

01

Why does my fuse box keep tripping?

View answer +

A fuse box or RCD usually keeps tripping because something on the circuit is unsafe, overloaded, damaged or affected by moisture. Stop forcing the circuit back on and ask a qualified electrician to test the circuit, appliances and wiring properly.

02

Is a burning smell from a socket dangerous?

View answer +

Yes. A burning smell from a socket, switch, light fitting or consumer unit can indicate overheating, loose connections, damaged wiring or an overloaded circuit. Turn off the affected circuit if safe and arrange an urgent electrical inspection.

03

What happens if my EICR fails?

View answer +

If an EICR fails, the installation has issues that need attention before it can be marked satisfactory. The report should explain the codes, what is urgent and what remedial work is needed to improve electrical safety.

04

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

View answer +

Warning signs include frequent tripping, flickering lights, warm sockets, buzzing switches, damaged accessories, very old cabling or an outdated fuse board. An electrician can confirm whether you need a full rewire, partial rewire or targeted repairs.

05

When is an electrical problem an emergency?

View answer +

Treat it as urgent if there is a burning smell, sparks, repeated power loss, exposed wiring, water near electrics, buzzing from the consumer unit, smoke marks or a circuit that will not reset.

06

Should I upgrade my old fuse board?

View answer +

An old fuse board may not offer the protection expected in a modern property. Many customers upgrade for better RCD or RCBO protection, safer circuit separation and improved reliability, but the wiring should be checked before replacement.
