How to Avoid calling an Emergency Electrician in Morden

Let’s face it, not all of the houses in SM4 are new builds! The electrical wiring, switches, sockets and so on are most likely to be getting on a bit. Wiring fitted back in the eighties or nineties are not uncommon. We have seen houses with thirties wiring still in use!

The best solution is to re-wire, but for most people, that’s not really an option. The upheaval is hard to work round unless you are doing a major renovation.

So avoiding an electrical emergency is the way forward and is simply a case of observation and management. And for those occasions where you need a 24 hour Morden emergency electrician, keep our number handy – 07956 523316.

Spotting electrical faults before they become an emergency

Some signs of electrical faults are easy to spot. Others are not. Here are our tips for Morden home owners …

  1. One of the easiest to notice is a ‘fishy’ smell. That is the smell of overheating hard plastic, This often means a fault is developing in a switch, light fitting or socket. If you do nothing, electrical overheating faults can cause fires, however, they are usually very simple for 24 hour emergency electricians to sort out.
  2. When an RCD or the main switch on the fuse board keeps tripping, something is definitely wrong. An experienced Morden emergency electrician has the correct equipment and expertise that they can use to track down the reason.
  3. Constantly flickering lights could indicate problems with the circuit. Make sure that you have switched on properly and the the bulb is not loose. If it still flickers, call out your electrician.
  4. IF you hear a buzzing or sizzling noise when you switch something on – switch it off immediately.  The small sparks causing the noise could soon ignite a fire.  Call us straight away, any hour of the day on 07956 523316 – we are 24 hour emergency electricians.

It’s not just the circuits that can develop a problem, appliances can develop internal faults. If it is out of guarantee and you don’t want to replace it, get it checked by a professional electrician.

What Makes a Good 24 hour Emergency Electrician?

First and foremost, experience. You need to find time-served electricians. Emergency electricians who have a lot of experience will probably have encountered the same problem that you are having many times in the past. If not in Morden then somewhere close. They will be able to isolate and repair the issue quickly. A reliable Morden electrician should be able to reel off a list of local places where they have worked.

It is always important to check what qualifications that a commercial or domestic emergency electrician offers. It is not too difficult then to check with each organisation that their claims are true – most of the registers of commercial and domestic electricians have websites that can be searched.

Try to get some personal recommendations. Ask around your friends and work colleagues about any emergency electricians they have used and recommend. If you know people living in neighbouring areas to Bromley, have a chat with them too – a lot of south London electricians will cover several boroughs. There are online companies like Chekatrade as well who have references for trades around the UK, not just Morden (SM4 postcode). These references will definitely help you to make a decision.

Finally, make sure that the emergency electrician that you decide to use is able to certify any work carried out.

It just so happens that we fit all of those criteria plus we don’t ask you to pay a premium price. Many London emergency electricians will charge £90 or more per hour- we charge our standard rate. After all, why should we take advantage of your emergency situation?
