Most of us don’t think much about the electricity in our homes until something stops working or starts acting strangely. But spotting the early warning signs is key to safety and peace of mind. At All Point Electrical, we specialise in domestic electrical services across Scarborough and North Yorkshire. If you’ve noticed any of the issues below in your home, it might be time to call in a professional.
Frequent Tripping of the Fuse Board
If your fuse board (consumer unit) trips regularly, it’s trying to tell you something isn’t right. This could be due to faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or a damaged appliance. While the trip switch is for safety, constantly resetting it without fixing the root cause can put your home at risk.
Our team can quickly identify what’s causing the issue and provide a safe, long-lasting fix as part of our domestic electrical services.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
A flickering light is a minor annoyance. However, it can indicate loose wiring or an overloaded circuit, which can be dangerous if left unchecked. If you notice lights dimming when you switch on appliances or flickering more often than not, it’s worth having things looked at.
We’ll inspect your wiring and connections to ensure everything is working well.
Buzzing Sounds or Burning Smells
If you ever hear a buzzing noise from switches, sockets, or your consumer unit—or notice a burning smell—switch off the power and call a qualified electrician immediately. These are often signs of overheating, damaged wiring, or short circuits.
As part of our domestic electrical services, we’ll investigate safely and resolve the issue before it becomes a serious hazard.
Old Wiring or Outdated Consumer Units
If your property hasn’t had an electrical upgrade in decades, it may no longer meet modern safety standards. Old wiring (especially rubber or fabric-covered cables), outdated fuse boxes, or a lack of RCD protection are all signs it’s time for an update.
We provide full rewires and consumer unit upgrades across Scarborough to bring your home up to current regulations.
Not Enough Sockets or Extension Leads Everywhere
If your home is full of extension leads or adaptors, it may be time to rethink your electrical layout. Overloading sockets can be dangerous, and having the right number of outlets in the right places will make your space more practical and safer.
We can add extra sockets and USB points and improve your overall setup to suit how you live.
