Give Special Importance To Electrical Components In Your Property

As winter approaches and we see less daylight, it’s important now more than ever to prioritise your electrics to prevent any possible electrical or lighting faults. Read on to find out what you should be checking for and the ways in which you can ensure your workplace remains safe and compliant.

Emergency lighting effectivity

Don’t rely on an emergency to make you check that your lighting is working. It is important to ensure your emergency lighting is operating effectively for work continuity or in worst-case scenarios, safe evacuation of staff and/or public. Therefore, undergoing emergency lighting tests will ensure that everything is working properly, and the back-up battery is in full working order.

Electrical safety

Employees will be working in darker conditions, meaning all necessary areas will need to be safe and well-lit to avoid any possible hazards. The likeliness of a power cut due to faulty electrics will also need to be diminished, to not only improve safety but also to avoid any unnecessary down time.

Now is the best time to have an inspection carried out on your electrical supplies, before the clocks go back, and weather worsens. We carry out electrical installations as well as electrical inspection services following the standards to identify any deterioration, damage, defects and dangerous conditions that contravene with BS 7671 regulations.

Lighting inconsistencies

Poor lighting can be deemed a safety hazard and there may be areas of your site that are lacking sufficient brightness. While this may not be as much of a priority during the lighter months than what it is now, we would advise getting those defects checked and resolved.

Also, there is a seasonal surge of business robberies in the winter months as criminals see the darker nights and the same can be a shining opportunity. Improve the longevity of your working space and securely illuminate those areas to ensure break ins do not occur with up-to-date security systems.

Rewiring Can Be A Mess: Hire A Professional Electrical Contractor

Rewiring or updating the wiring in your home is a big undertaking and you want to have the best residential electrical contractor for the job. Whatever your reasons for this major electrical project, we have some tips for everything to run smoothly. Here’s what to think about when hiring a residential electrical contractor to rewire your home.

Get an electrical quote and a contract

Each quote you receive from a residential electrical contractor will have a different approach to get the job done. Take the time to understand the approach and work with the electrical contractor that listens to you and provides a solution that will work for your situation. Read through the contract thoroughly and ask any questions you may have. In this way, you and the electrical contractor will have a clear understanding of the work to get done and there won’t be any surprises.

Make a plan for any extras you may want

If you’re hiring a residential electrical contractor to rewire or update the wiring in your home, it is a great time to take care of any other electrical projects you may have been considering. Adding additional electrical outlets, updating to smart home features like thermostats or security cameras, installing whole house surge protection, moving switches, or adding new lights or a ceiling fan will be easier if planned along with your home rewire.

Go through your home room by room and consider what features you’d like to add or eliminate. Don’t forget the exterior and the garage. Once you have your list you can discuss each item with your residential electrical contractor to find out if they are easy to add on to the wiring update.

Approaching an electrical rewiring system

An electrical rewire or upgrade is a big project but can provide electrical safety for your home and added convenience for your family. While you may wish to upgrade your entire home at the same time, you may also wish to do a room or two at a time. This can make the process easier to handle.

Things To Consider Before Installing A Generator In Your Home

Mechanical problems, hurricanes, flooding, and other weather events can cause extended power outages, plunging your home into darkness for hours, days, or even weeks. Standby generators can provide enough power to operate your home’s most important appliances to keep you and your family safe and comfortable. 

If you are considering purchasing a home permanent generator, keep the following tips from Techsmart Electrical in mind. Our local electrical experts will help you make sure you’re getting the best generator for your home.

Capacity Of Generator

One of the most important considerations when installing a permanent generator is capacity. Generators are rated by the number of watts that they can produce. A thousand watts is called a kilowatt (kW) so a 10kW generator will produce 10,000 watts of power. 

The more appliances and devices that you want to power, the more capacity you will need. Generally, portable generators produce around 2kW to 4kW while a 20kW rating is very common for a whole-home permanent generator since they are designed to power your entire home. 

If you only need to keep a few lights on or power your fridge and freezer, a 5-10 kW generator should be sufficient. HVAC systems and furnaces require quite a bit more power—for a medium-sized home you may need a generator with a 20-22 kW capacity. 

Use the right fuel for your generator

There are four types of fuel that are usually used to fuel a permanent backup generator including gasoline, diesel, propane (LP), and natural gas. In the event of a natural disaster or weather event, fuel supplies may be limited or unavailable, so you will need to consider which kind of fuel you want to run your generator with. 

Gasoline is the most common fuel to power portable generators, but it is a poor choice for whole-house generators. Gasoline is hard to store due to its high volatility and it can deteriorate over time, making the gasoline you stored useless in a year or two. 

Here are some other fuelling options to consider: 

Diesel: Diesel is more stable and less volatile than gasoline and generally an efficient fuel source. If you want more than a day’s supply of fuel for a standby generator, you will need to install an external tank that holds the fuel. Diesel is less common for home applications but is worth considering if you don’t have access to propane or natural gas. 

Propane (LP) Gas: Propane gas is safe, easy to store, and clean-burning. Home storage tanks can range in size from 100-1000 gallons, so having enough on hand to fuel your generator should not be an issue. While it is not as energy efficient as diesel fuel, it is great to use for a standby generator since you will have a stable supply of fuel on hand. 

Natural Gas

Natural gas burns cleanly and supplies of it are rarely affected by natural disasters or storms. With a natural gas-powered permanent generator, you will be able to keep your power running through almost any situation. Natural gas is our top pick, with propane next, and diesel third. 

Electrical Connections 

Permanent standby generators use an automatic transfer switch that detects a power outage and starts the generator automatically. Depending on your unit, the switch may transfer control to a separate breaker panel that sends electricity to the circuits you’ve chosen to power.

If a whole-home generator is out of your price range, or out of stock, interlock kits can also be installed for use with a portable generator. An interlock kit takes care of the mess of extension cords that come with using a portable generator and uses one cord that runs to your main power source to power the circuits that you want to use during a power outage. 

ELECTRICAL INSPECTION ELECTRICIAN

Electrical inspection services involve the carrying out of periodic, preventive and statutory electrical inspections on electrical installations to analyse their safety, efficiency and compliance with electro-technical regulations, codes and standards. Electrical safety inspections are key to maintaining reliability and technical efficiency of electrical installations. The safety, reliability and technical efficiency are key to permitting users to carry out their activities normally. Techsmart Electrical is a specialist team in electrical inspection and testing. Our team of electrical testing experts can revise and analyse any electrical installations/networks in compliance with national and international standards and regulations.

Keeping You Safe All The Time

Our certified inspectors assess the risk of electrical equipment issues such as short circuits, overloads, fire, outdated wiring or inadequate power supplies. Many older properties contain outdated electrical systems such as porcelain fuse boards or old wiring without safety switches. As modern, technology-based lifestyles place greater requirements for electricity, electrical inspectors find that many switchboards require upgrading to prevent overloading. We test, measure, analyse and evaluate the inherent technical aspects of any electrical installation. We identify any critical or serious problems, allowing owners, users and maintenance staff to define actions to mitigate any risks.

Professional Installation
