Can you find 3 deadly killers in this Electrical Charity’s Halloween game?
Electrical Safety First have released their Halloween themed game ‘A Killer Lurking’ – highlighting the serious consequences of having unsafe electrical appliances in your home or office. Can you find them in 30 seconds?
Flickering lights is a relatively common issue and do not always indicate a problem with your electrical system. If your lighting flickers in your home or office there are a variety of explanations, here are the main causes below and how to address them:
If a single light bulb is flickering, it’s likely that it’s the bulb causing the issue. You can check to make sure the bulb is secured properly in the fitting (always make sure you switch the light off before doing this to stay safe). If a bulb isn’t secured properly then this can cause a flicker as it’s not connected correctly. If you find the light still flickers when it’s switched back on it could mean that the particular bulb needs to be replaced as it’s at the end of its lifespan.
Water damage can occur for a variety of reasons, and even though you may feel like you’ve dealt with all of the damage, such as damaged furniture, flooring and walls; what about the damage you can’t see?
Even if you don’t think you are experiencing any interruption to your electrical service, there doesn’t need to be any outward signs of damage. Just because your lights aren’t flickering or there doesn’t appear to be any damp, it doesn’t mean you don’t need to hire an electrician to carry out an intensive check of your wiring.
Whether commercial or domestic, although installing or owning a swimming pool can be an exciting experience, it’s important to make sure all of your electrical components are installed by a true professional.
Most people underestimate the amount of electrics that need to be fitted and to have a safe pool, as it’s a large body of water, faulty or ill fitted electrics can cause damage and in a swimming pool there is an increased the risk of an electric shock. Electrical components power the pumps, pool lights and filtration systems and all of these contribute to the essential care to be taken by you as the pool owner – especially in a commercial environment.
