Safety on residential electrician service
There are a lot of different things to check when busy with residential electrician service. We need to inspect to see if there aren’t any 2.5mm cable joined with 1.5mm cable. If that is the case, then we need to label that specific circuit as a mixed circuit. We then also need to fit a circuit breaker to protect the smallest cable of the two.
Plug sockets should all be wired with 2.5mm cable. You should never join in with a 1.5mm cable, because then that plug socket can only handle a power current of 15amps, because of the mix circuit as mentioned above. Always try and join up with another plug socket, or take the cable straight to the DB box.
You should always try to have your kitchen plugs separately, because the kitchen appliances uses a lot of power. For example, a kettle uses anything between 6amps to 12 amps. Then a coffee maker uses anything between 5amps and 8amps. And a toaster uses anything between 8amps and 10amps, where a frying pan uses anything between 7amps and 12amps.

Understanding the total amperage consumption of your various appliances is crucial because it can lead to overloading a circuit. If a circuit becomes damaged and fails to trip, it can potentially result in the melting of your wiring, ultimately posing a fire hazard. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that your electrician is highly competent, as both your safety and the safety of your loved ones are at stake when inexperienced or unreliable individuals work on your electrical systems. The quality of our work is a testament to our commitment. It’s evident whether an electrician is solely motivated by financial gain or takes pride in their craftsmanship.
It is very important to know the total amps that your different appliances are uses, because it can overload a circuit, and if that circuit is damaged and it doesn’t trip, then you can actually melt your cabling and then on the end of the day causes a fire. Make sure that your electrician knows what he is doing, it is your life and the life of your loved once that hangs in the balance if a fly by night works on your electricity. Our work speaks for itself. It is easy to see if an electrician is just there for the money, or if they has pride in their work.
