Electrical Installations And Fittings
Not all homes have the same electrical installations, however using the information in this section will help you to describe defects or to understand if it is your responsibility.
Any appliances i.e. washing machines, kettles, fridges, etc. are your responsibility and should they cause a defect to the electrical installation you may be charged for the work to be resolved.
Warning Should you wish to add or alter the electrical installation it is in your interest to use a qualified electrician.
Never attempt to carry out works of this nature yourself.
Never drill holes or knock nails into a wall above or below light switches or sockets. The cables to these will be just below the surface and if damaged can cause electric shock and sever damage.
Remember If you change a fuse in a plug ensure it is of the correct rating for the appliance.
Never use a fuse with a rating which is too high.
