Reasons to Hire an Emergency Electrician for Domestic & Commercial Electrical Work
There are many possible reasons of incredibly dangerous when you work with electricity. Know all about when you must call an Emergency Electrician to help you. We all know that electricity is an absolutely essential utility. Our twenty-first century lifestyles would not be possible without it and the devices which it powers. It can be sobering to realise that we cannot really do without reliable electricity for very long in the modern world – we need it for the absolute essentials of lighting, heating and refrigeration as well as the things we probably can do without but would not want to such as TV, the internet and games – almost everything we do depends on a safe and uninterrupted electrical supply. Simply put, electricity is the force which enables our contemporary lifestyles. It is at the very core of everything we do, as essential to our modern lives as water.
That means that when things go wrong we naturally want to get the problems sorted out as quickly as possible so that we can get our lives back to normal. But it must always be recognised that however useful we may find it, however much we depend upon it, and however inconvenient an interruption to supply can be when things go wrong, electricity can also be extremely dangerous. For example, did you know that electrical fires caused by faulty wiring or defective appliances account for over half of all accidental fires in domestic dwellings? Thankfully the strict safety regulations imposed on manufacturers by the various authorities have made deaths by accidental electrocution very rare, but they do still happen – and even if an electrocution incident is not fatal, contact with exposed live components can still leave victims with burns and other serious injuries.
That is why if you have an electrical problem in your business or in your home you should always contact a properly qualified emergency commercial electrician to deal with the situation. If the issue is within your home you should contact a properly qualified domestic electrician in Cambridge. Households and businesses can be sure that they can always turn to AB Electrical – our highly trained team of dedicated electrical professionals are available twenty-four hours a day seven days a week to take care of whatever electrical emergency you may encounter.
Indeed, we are a leading emergency commercial electrician across the wider Anglian region, so if you need electrical contractors in Norfolk, Suffolk or across Cambridgeshire we are available and ready to help. But perhaps you are still thinking “but why do I need to pay for an electrician?” Perhaps you remember seeing family members repairing faulty electrical items when you were a child and thinking “surely unless your problem is very serious indeed I can take care of most electrical issues myself, why to go to the expense of hiring somebody to do it?”
Well perhaps. But we really would not recommend it. As we said, electricity can be a dangerous thing and appliances have become increasingly complex. Years ago a reasonably competent person might well have been able to fix a faulty appliance with a screwdriver and a roll of insulation tape. Those days are long gone, however. Modern appliances – especially commercial appliances – often involve high voltages and complicated connections that are best left for a fully qualified emergency commercial electrician to deal with.
So yes, the first reason to hire an emergency commercial electrician is safety, and in many ways, we think that you probably do not really need another reason. Undertaking electrical work on your own may not only be dangerous in itself, it is also the case that an inexperienced person may well think that they have accomplished a good repair but in fact have left the appliance in a state that could still be dangerous. Engaging the services of a professional emergency commercial electrician means that you can be absolutely certain that your malfunctioning appliances are not simply made functional again but also that they are safe to use and that they will continue to be so.
That kind of quality assurance is another reason to engage the services of a properly qualified emergency commercial electrician. If your electrical work is completed by a properly qualified professional not only can you be certain that the work will have been carried out to a high standard, but the job will also be insured and guaranteed? This means that if there is a problem with the work in the future you have the reassurance that any issues you experience will be made good. If you carry out the work yourself or have it done by an unqualified, uninsured person you will have no such safeguards in place, and even worse, if there is an issue with an amateur repair that causes damage to your property you may find that your own insurance will not cover the resulting repairs, potentially leaving you with hefty repair bills that you could so easily have avoided.
But while both quality assurance and safety are clearly incredibly important there are other advantages that come when you hire a properly qualified Emergency Commercial Electrician. When you engage the services of a properly qualified professional to deal with the electrical issues you are also buying into their experience and knowledge. You might be able to identify the obvious problem, but the experienced eye of a qualified professional might see that the source of the problem is elsewhere in the system and identify a more serious issue at the root of the issue. That is the kind of diagnostic expertise that can only be gained over years of training and experience. That kind of knowledge can help you save time and money by preventing electrical issues before they happen.
When you engage the services of a professional you can also be confident that you are getting a service you can trust. As a professional emergency commercial electrician AB Electrical is accredited by the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contractors (NICEIC). This means that you do not have to just take our word for it when we tell you that we operate to a high standard. If we did not, we would not be able to keep that accreditation. Our accreditation with the NICEIC also means that you can be sure that everyone who works for our firm is not only well trained but that their training is completely up to date.
