Experienced Electricians Croydon
When you’re facing electrical problems in your property, it can cause a number of issues. Delays in selling your property, safety issues, and electrical appliances not working are just a few that can give you grief. When these problems occur, you’ll find yourself in need of an electrician. But while any qualified electrician in Croydon should be able to fix these problems, some electricians will be able to provide a better service than others. One reason for this is down to experience. A more experienced electrician will be able to quickly find the cause of the problem before resolving it with high quality work. Electrical Masters LTD has this experience. Thanks to our knowledgeable and friendly team and over 30 years of experience, we’re able to provide great quality every time, all while providing an unbeatable customer service. So if you find yourself in need of electrical assistance, be it repairs, inspections, or anything else, then get in touch with us to see how we can help.
What Electrical Work Can I Do Myself?
A fair amount of electrical work can be legally done at home by anyone who isn’t a qualified electrician. But it’s worth bearing in mind that any work that is done will still have to meet stringent safety regulations.
For tasks such as changing a lightbulb or replacing a fuse, this is easily done. But for tasks such as rewiring, replacing parts and adding switches, which are all tasks that will be extremely difficult to carry out to the required standards, it’s probably best to leave it to the professionals and save yourself a lot of time and potentially money.
It’s also worth noting that any electrical work being carried out in areas that are likely to come into contacts with water, such as a bathroom or anything outdoors, will need to be worked on by a qualified electrician.
How Do I Choose a Reliable Electrician?
Choosing your electrician should be something that you do carefully, without just choosing the first electrician you find.
As in all trades, electricians will vary greatly in many thing, such as:
- Price
- Level of experience
- Location covered
- Services offered
- Quality of service
If these things aren’t important to you, finding an electrician in your local area is as easy as having a quick search online.
But if you do want to take the extra time to find an electrician that you feel will meet all of your needs, then read the online reviews before choosing your electrician. If they’ve got overwhelmingly positive reviews, they’re probably a reliable choice.
Alternatively, you can ask your friends and family if they’ve hired any electricians that they would recommend.
Why Do I Need an Electrician?
As a property owner, there are likely to be many times when you require the expertise of an electrician. In many cases this may be to carry out repairs and fault finding, but a knowledgeable electrician has a lot more to offer than this.
Many electricians will provide services such as:
- Installing CCTV systems and other security systems
- Installing electric vehicle charging points, plus help with the application
- Lighting
- Inspections and fault finding
- PAT testing
Not all electricians will provide all of these services, so check whether the electrician you want to hire provides the services you need.
While you may be tempted to try and carry out these tasks yourself, make sure that you’re legally allowed to, and that you have the knowledge, skills and equipment to do so.
And don’t forget, attempting and failing electrical tasks could ultimately lead to:
- Higher costs
- Safety hazards
- Loss of warranty or insurance on electrical appliances and your property
- Untidy wiring
In most cases, it’s best to just hire a professional from the start.
