Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What is the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?

Old fuse boxes use rewireable fuses that blow and need replacing. Consumer units use switches called circuit breakers that trip and reset. Circuit breakers respond faster to faults, are safer, and allow more circuits.

Can I add more sockets without upgrading my fuse board?

Additional sockets can be wired into existing circuits if spare capacity exists. However, older installations or heavily loaded circuits may need board upgrades. An electrician assesses demand before installation.

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?

Most residential EV chargers do not require planning permission. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, or certain installations may need approval. Local council guidance should be checked before installation.

What does PAT testing actually check?

PAT testing inspects appliances visually for damage, then tests electrical safety including earth continuity and insulation resistance. It confirms the appliance is safe to use and records results on labels.

How long should a new lighting installation take?

Simple single-room installations may take one day. Whole-house or complex projects with multiple rooms or outdoor lighting take longer depending on cable routing, plasterboard making good, and testing requirements.
