As electricians, our main responsibility is to ensure the safe and proper functioning of electrical systems. When checking for faulty wiring, we follow a systematic process to identify and rectify any issues. Here’s an overview of what we do:

1. Visual Inspection: We visually examine the electrical installation, looking for visible signs of damage, such as frayed wires, loose connections, or burnt components.

2. Testing Equipment: We utilize various testing equipment, including multimeters, voltage testers, continuity testers, and insulation resistance testers. These tools help us measure and analyze different electrical parameters.

3. Power Shutdown: Prior to conducting any tests, we ensure the power to the circuit or area under inspection is shut down. This is crucial for our safety and to prevent further damage to the electrical system.

4. Continuity Testing: We perform continuity testing to check if there are any breaks or open circuits in the wiring. This helps us identify faulty connections or damaged conductors.

5. Insulation Resistance Testing: Using an insulation resistance tester, we measure the insulation resistance of cables and conductors. This test reveals the integrity of the insulation, ensuring it meets safety standards.

6. Voltage Testing: We use voltage testers or multimeters to check for the presence of voltage in different parts of the circuit. This helps us identify live wires, improper connections, or abnormal voltage levels.

7. Earth Continuity Testing: In installations with earthing systems, we test the continuity of the earth connections. This ensures that the earthing system is functioning correctly, providing protection against electrical shocks.

8. Load Testing: If necessary, we perform load testing by connecting known loads to the circuit and measuring voltage drops or current flows. This helps us identify issues like voltage regulation problems or excessive resistance.

9. Record and Document Findings: Throughout the inspection, we document our observations, measurements, and any identified faults. This documentation serves as a reference for future repairs, replacements, or further investigation.

10. Remedial Actions: If we discover faulty wiring, we take appropriate actions to rectify the issues. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged wires, tightening loose connections, or rewiring specific sections of the electrical system.

In summary, as electricians, we conduct thorough inspections, perform tests, and utilize our expertise to identify and address faulty wiring to ensure the safety and functionality of electrical systems.

Electrical service providers, also known as electrical contractors or electricians, offer a range of services related to electrical systems. Their main role is to provide professional electrical services to residential and commercial clients. Here are some common tasks and responsibilities of electrical service providers:

1. Installation: Electrical service providers install new electrical systems, whether it’s in new constructions or during renovations. This includes wiring, circuit breakers, outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, and other electrical components.

2. Maintenance and Repairs: They perform routine maintenance to ensure the ongoing reliability and safety of electrical systems. This includes inspecting, testing, and troubleshooting electrical equipment, identifying and repairing faults, and replacing faulty components.

3. Upgrades and Retrofits: Electrical service providers assist in upgrading electrical systems to meet modern standards and energy efficiency requirements. They may also retrofit older buildings to incorporate new technologies, such as installing energy-saving lighting or upgrading electrical panels.

4. Electrical Troubleshooting: When electrical issues arise, electrical service providers are responsible for diagnosing the problem. They use their expertise and specialized tools to identify the source of the issue, whether it’s faulty wiring, malfunctioning equipment, or electrical system failures.

5. Safety Inspections: They conduct electrical safety inspections to ensure compliance with electrical codes and regulations. These inspections help identify potential hazards, faulty wiring, inadequate grounding, or other electrical risks that need to be addressed for safety purposes.

6. Wiring and Rewiring: Electrical service providers handle wiring projects, including new wiring installations and rewiring existing structures. They assess the electrical load requirements, plan and route wiring, and ensure proper connections to deliver reliable and efficient electricity distribution.

7. Electrical Upgrades for Smart Homes: With the increasing popularity of smart home technologies, electrical service providers assist clients in integrating smart home features. This includes installing smart lighting systems, home automation devices, security systems, and other connected devices.

8. Emergency Services: In the event of electrical emergencies like power outages, electrical service providers offer emergency response services. They work to quickly restore electrical power, identify the cause of the problem, and make necessary repairs to minimize downtime.

9. Compliance and Certification: Electrical service providers ensure that electrical installations comply with local building codes, safety standards, and regulations. They obtain permits when required and provide certification or documentation upon completion of electrical work.

10. Electrical Consultation: They offer expert advice and recommendations on electrical system design, energy efficiency, and electrical upgrades. They help clients make informed decisions regarding electrical installations, ensuring they meet specific needs and requirements.

Overall, electrical service providers play a crucial role in ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable electrical systems for homes, businesses, and industries. Their expertise, knowledge of electrical codes, and hands-on skills make them essential professionals in the electrical industry.

When you call us, our goal is to always fix the problem. But there are times when this isn’t possible. For example, if you need new parts that you can’t get in an emergency, you might have to wait until suppliers are open to buy them.

If this is the case, we will make sure your home is safe and give you tips on how to keep you and your family comfortable until we can come back and fix the problem. Most of the time, we can come back within 24 hours to fix the problem.

Our electricians are fully licenced City and Guilds experts with NICEIC approval who adhere to British Standards BS 7671.

Most of the work we do comes with a 12-month guarantee on the quality of the work. This is to give you peace of mind.
Materials and parts installed by Madsan will be covered by a promise or warranty from the company that made them. This usually makes sure that broken things are fixed or changed within a certain amount of time, usually 12 months.
