A new law comes into force to prevent serious injuries and even death from faulty home electrics, research has proven to find that the public are woefully unaware of the electrical dangers in their homes. The solution is checking and prevention of dangerous scenarios.
Most electrical wiring is hidden, but here are a few things which may easily be able to check yourself:
Is your wiring more than 15 years old?
Has it been longer than ten years since the wiring was checked?
Has electrical work been carried out by amateurs and never checked?
Do your plugs or sockets get hot?
Do your fuses blow regularly and for no obvious reason?
Do you have to use adaptors routinely to run your appliances
Do your lights use the old, twisted type flex?
Do you often have to use extension cables?
Do you have round pin plugs and sockets?
Do you use electrical equipment outdoors?
Are you overloading a single power point socket with many adaptors? |
