ACtest, a London electricians with expertise in domestic and commercial installations, testing and repairs, has warned that the British public are putting themselves at risk by cutting financial corners and not taking seriously the dangers presented by faulty electricals.

ACtest has many years of experience in the electrical industry, providing an extensive number of quality services throughout the South East of England. They’re NICEIC-registered, are a member of Trustmark and are SAFEcontractor accredited.

But they say that a lot of people aren’t taking seriously the ‘massive risks’ presented by poorly installed and maintained electrical installations. A spokesperson for the Enfield-based company said:

“Every year we see a regular stream of reports in the media, highlighting cases where homes are ruined and health is risked, and far too often in these instances there is one thing in common – dodgy electrical installations.

“There are massive risks if your electrical installations aren’t regularly maintained or tested, or correctly installed in the first place, and that’s true for both domestic and commercial fittings.

“While the costs of testing your electrical might be off putting, especially in this day and age when money is tight, it’s always better to bite the bullet rather than taking the risk of doing serious damage to your home or workplace.”

According to ACtest, the solution is simple. Businesses and individuals need to be more proactive in having their appliances tested, whether by contacting electricians themselves or chasing their landlords to do so.

“The best thing to do if you’re worried about the safety of your home or business is to get in touch with an electrician company or your landlord. We would always recommend erring on the side of caution when it comes to something as important as your health and home.

“If you’re in London we can help. We’re one of the best London electricians around and we can provide you with a whole host of essential services to keep your home safe from electrical failure and damage. All of our services are competitively priced and carried out by professional engineers.”
