What Our Client Say About PureLiteElectrical
-
Hafeez Ahmad ChaudhryMy experience with Purelite Electrical was amazing. Work has been carried out at an exceptional standard. I recently bought home and their Electrical team carried out all the installation and certification work. Their response time and service was extraordinary. Work was carried out within a tight timeframe. Their services included vehicle charger installation, full rewiring, consumer unit replacement, inspection, testing and certification. I have no doubt in recommending them to my friends and contacts.

My Builder CustomerZeeshan and his brother were polite, professional and efficient. They even brought little socks to place over their shoes. They initially came to change 4 underfloor heating thermostats but were met with lots of wiring issues once here. A quick job now took them around 2.5 hours. They quickly figured out that the contactors were blown and then managed to reword accordingly so that 4 rooms would receive heat. They saved me money as they said that it’s not the thermostats so I save around £100 as I can return them. They were very patient as we had to test the heating once they fixed everything. They waited around an hour just to make sure and when they could wait no longer they promised to return if things weren’t ok. By that point two rooms were already receiving heat where they weren’t before. Things are now working and we are very happy and would so gladly recommend them. Thanks for saving us money and not charging extra!

JamesI cannot recommend Purelite Electrical Ltd highly enough. Zeeshan was vastly more thorough and professional in his assessment of the job that was needed than anyone I have ever had a quote from. He explained everything in a way that I was able to understand. The work he did was beautiful. He was professional, knowledgable, prompt, skilled and very approachable. I will certainly hope to use him again in the future.

Why landlords need EICR for their properties in England?
If you are a landlord or property owner, it's essential to prioritize the safety of your tenants. That's why it's crucial to schedule a regular EICR inspection for your older electrical installations. As per BS7671 Guidance Notes, the intervals for conducting these inspections should be followed strictly, and a qualified inspector or an approved electrical contractor can help you suggest the appropriate date for a new EICR inspection. With the introduction of new regulations across England and Wales, it has become mandatory for landlords to conduct EICR inspections before renting their property to new tenants. Even existing tenants must perform these inspections and provide a copy to their landlords. The increasing number of inquiries shows that more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of these safety measures, and it's time for you to prioritize your tenants' safety too.

When should I call an emergeny electrician?
Majority of electricians normally work between 7am to 6pm, 9am to 5pm, or other daytime hours. They typically work 8 to 10 hour shifts. As a result, finding an electrician early in the morning, late at night, or during any other non-traditional hours can be almost impossible. This is where the need for an emergency electrician comes in. Emergency electricians are usually available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Purelite Electrical Ltd offers a quick and easy way to find the right emergency electrician. Our customer service staff are trained to help and guide customers in emergency situations. Please call Purelite Electrical at 02081665144 or visit us at www.pureliteelectrical.com to get urgent assistance and book the best electrician in and around London. Before calling an emergency electrician, you can visually check for signs of sparks or arcing noises in electrical appliances, switches, sockets, light fittings, spur switches, isolators, or visual damage to any sockets, switches, or light fixtures. If there are no visual signs or noises on the consumer side, check the electrical cupboard for any visual signs of loose meter tails, supply cables, overheated protective devices, RCD, RCBO, main switch, isolator, Henley Block, supply cutout, supply head, loose cut-out fuse, moisture, melted PVC, or liquid dripping from the consumer unit, cut-out fuse, isolator, old fuse unit, old fuse box, or old fabric meter tails. In the case of any of these visual signs, the best approach is to call a local or emergency electrician.

Can an electrical fault turn into a devastating and deadly fire that can destroy properties and endanger lives?
Yes, an electrical fault can turn into a fire, often with disastrous consequences, particularly if the protective devices in place are not suitable for their intended purpose. For this reason, it is important to understand the underlying causes of electrical fires. It has been reported by the London Fire Brigade that loose wiring in electrical consumer units is one of the most common causes of fire. In response, the government has introduced fire regulations aimed at tackling these issues. Since the launch of the BS7671 Amendment 3 17th edition regulations, all consumer units and distribution boards with combustible materials must be replaced by metal consumer units. However, it should be noted that this is a recommendation, and a code C3 is given if the electrical installation is deemed satisfactory. However, if there is any other fault or serious issue such as overloading, overheated cables or devices, or non-compatible RCD, MCB, or RCBOs found in the consumer unit, the consumer unit must be replaced with a metal alternative. Installation of these units requires the expertise and training of competent electricians, who must also carry out rigorous testing and inspection of newly installed devices and circuits. It is recommended that test results including ZE, ZS, RCD TEST, CONTINUITY TEST, POLARITY, RING CONTINUITY, INSULATION RESISTANCE TESTS, MANUAL OPERATION OF ALL PROTECTIVE DEVICES, AND FUNCTIONAL TESTS are recorded in an appropriate test schedule as recommended by BS7671. In instances where new circuits are added, altered or new points are added to the existing circuit, then either a new consumer unit or fuse box will need to be installed, resulting in the issuing of an EIC (new installation certificate) which must then be registered with the Part P building authorities. Purelite Electrical Ltd has highly qualified and experienced electricians who are trained in carrying out all of these necessary tests. Offering services throughout London and surrounding areas, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety of all our clients. Electrical safety is not something to take lightly, and it's important that you hire the right professionals for the job. If you require further information on electrical fixed wiring testing or certification or if you would like to enquire about portable appliance testing (PAT Testing / in-service appliance testing), please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated emergency electrical team who will be more than happy to assist in finding the best electrician for the job.

How much does an emergency electrician charge per hour?
Hourly charges for emergency electricians depend on the nature of the work, time of day or night, call-out charges, day of the week or weekend, time needed to reach the client's location, and parking. If the client is in a toll area such as CCZ Central London congestion charge zone, ULEZ, or extended ULEZ areas, the hourly cost may be slightly higher. The usual starting cost for emergency electricians in and around London is £150 an hour. It's best to call and inquire about emergency charges before booking services to avoid any inconvenience down the line. At Purelite Electrical, we have a no call-out charge policy and only charge customers for work carried out. Our engineers won't carry out any unnecessary work without the customer's consent. Our customers leave their feedback on various platforms, including Google and Trustpilot. Please don't hesitate to contact us at 02081665144 or visit our website at www.pureliteelectrical.com for your electrical needs. All our electricians are City & Guilds 18th Edition qualified and NICEIC registered. Purelite Electrical Ltd is registered in England. As a reputable company, we always advise clients to conduct thorough research before hiring an electrician as many individuals without proper training and qualifications may operate as electricians and scam people, leaving their electrical installation in a worse condition.

What is an RCD device?
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in some regions, represents a significant advancement in electrical safety technology. Unlike traditional fuses or miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), an RCD offers an unparalleled level of sensitivity and protection against electrical faults. This innovative electronic device utilizes cutting-edge technology to detect and mitigate earth leakage faults, which can arise when a live wire inadvertently makes contact with an exposed conductive part. The primary function of an RCD is to prevent electric shocks and fires by swiftly disconnecting the power supply when it detects a leakage current. This is crucial for protecting individuals from potentially fatal electric shocks and for safeguarding electronic devices, fluorescent tubes, bulbs, and LEDs from damage caused by faulty electrical currents. At the core of its operation, an RCD is constructed with two coils of live and neutral wires. These coils constantly monitor and maintain a delicate balance between the live and neutral currents. In the presence of any leakage current from either the live conductor phase or neutral, an imbalance occurs, prompting the RCD to trip and disconnect the power supply. This rapid response effectively prevents the continuation of the fault, mitigating the risk of harm to people and damage to electrical equipment. In summary, the RCD is a revolutionary advancement in electrical safety technology, offering superior sensitivity and reliable protection against earth leakage faults. Its ability to promptly detect and respond to electrical imbalances makes it an essential component of modern electrical systems, ensuring the safety of both individuals and electrical equipment.
-
What is an RCBO device?
The RCBO (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection) or compact RCBO represents a significant advancement in electrical safety technology, combining the functions of both an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and an RCD (Residual Current Device) into a single device. To fully comprehend the functions of an RCBO, it's essential to understand how MCBs and RCDs operate. While RCBOs may be more expensive, they offer exceptional efficiency and convenience, especially in emergency electrical work, making fault rectification in RCBO-controlled circuits much easier compared to RCD-controlled circuits. RCBOs are designed with their own test buttons, enabling consumers to perform manual tests on a quarterly basis to ensure proper functionality. If the test button fails to trip the device, it may indicate internal damage or a high fault current (Pfc) in the circuit. In such cases, it is advisable to seek professional assistance. Depending on the area in which you reside, contacting a local electrician or an emergency electrician with the requisite training and expertise, such as Purelite Electrical, is crucial for addressing complex electrical issues. In situations where a fault is suspected, it is essential to engage with a competent electrician to ensure safety and proper resolution. For immediate assistance, a friendly customer service team can provide guidance on the next steps and, if necessary, arrange for an emergency electrician to arrive promptly, often within an hour, to address the issue and ensure the safety of the electrical system.

How to reset an RCD or RCBO device?
Resetting an RCD or RCBO requires basic electrical knowledge and should not be attempted if there is a potential risk of short circuit, earth leakage, or fire. After ensuring the absence of these risks, the reset procedure should be followed as outlined below: RCD Reset Procedure: Turn off all MCB devices controlled by the RCD. Turn on the RCD device. Turn on the MCB devices one by one. If a faulty circuit causes the RCD to trip, leave the faulty MCB in the off position and turn on the remaining MCBs. This allows partial power restoration and provides time to seek a local or emergency electrician for further investigation and resolution. An emergency electrician can use a multifunction test device to investigate and resolve the fault, typically within the first hour. Purelite Electrical offers competent electricians ready to address any electrical issues. For assistance, call 02081665144 or visit www.pureliteelectrical.com. RCBO Reset Procedure: If safe, unplug all devices on the circuit. Attempt to reset the RCBO to the upward position. If it resets without sparking or tripping, the fault may lie in one of the appliances. If the RCBO cannot be reset following the above steps, the fault may be in the fixed wiring, requiring a competent electrician to investigate further using appropriate testing devices. It's crucial to note that attempting to alter wiring or temporarily removing the circuit protective conductor (CPC) without proper qualifications can lead to injury or serious consequences. Therefore, only qualified and competent electricians should be enlisted to carry out such work.
