Under no circumstances should you try to troubleshoot your electrical system on your own. You should call an electrician whenever you have an electrical problem, both for your personal safety and so that your home's electrical system remains up to the current regulations..

If you own a business, office or rental property, you have a legal responsibility to ensure employees, customers and tenants are kept safe. Old, faulty and malfunctioning electrical installations not only cause electric shocks but also pose a fire risk. 

 There are no set guidelines as to when a property  should be rewired. Just because your wiring’s old, it doesn’t mean it’s  unsafe.

Many factors can affect the wear and tear of your electrical  installation, including the materials used and how your property has  been used.

We would advise that a periodic inspection is carried out on  owner-occupied properties at least every 10 years and every five years  in rented accommodation. The test will certify whether the electrics in a  property are safe and tell you if anything needs upgrading. 

You should carry out regular checks around the house on the  condition of your cables, switches, sockets and other accessories. If  you notice anything unusual - for example, burn marks on plugs and  sockets, sounds of ‘arcing’ (buzzing or crackling), fuses blowing or  circuit-breakers tripping - get a registered electrician to check your  electrics as soon as possible
