Emergency lightning – it’s a battery-backed lightning device that is used to supply light in premises when electricity breakdown occurs. There are at least 3 types of them:

Maintained lightning – work constantly using power from mains supply but when emergency mode is triggered, they take power from the back-up batteries.

Non-maintained – they are made for only emergency use that is when power supply fails.

LED emergency lightning – this type is efficient option for general or emergency lightning. The moment it runs off of back-up power this is important that batteries last. The lights are usually used to reduce consumption of power and trickle charge for topping-up of the back-up batteries.

It is very important that the emergency lights are tested on a regular basis. If not, they might become useless when back-up batteries are run out of power. This can lead to serious and unpleasant or sometimes evet to fatal consequences, in hospitals, for example.

Commercial Electro is always ready to deal with all the test, repairs and installs if needed.

Some options that we can offer:

Monthly check:

Quick but thorough check. Fast test without turning out all power. Go through emergency lights to ensure that they’re working. If found any defect, repair them immediately. Jot down all the results into your fire safety logbook.

Yearly – the procedure includes turning off the mains power supply. Emergency lights are remained to work for several hours (rated period comprises at least 3 hours). If they fail within that period, we replace back-up batteries.

Electrical repairs usually have to do with general electrics, such as sockets fuse boards and lightning.

Earthing and bonding – There are several differences between bonding and grounding. The key purpose of bonding is to reduce the risk of an electrical shock in case of a fault in the supply of an electrical installation, and people touch two individual metal parts. So, this is important to always hire professional electricians for installation and make all of your household safe from electrical shocks.

Bonding

We offer two types of bonding which are used generally:

Main earthing bonding – two different conductors connect iron pipes (water, gas or oil) from the interior of buildings to the main earthing terminal of an electrical installation.

Supplementary bonding – accessible items of metal parts of electrical equipment are connected by two different colored conductors (i.e. heated towel rails) to accessible metal parts that aren’t electrical (i.e. pipes).

Earthing

The aim of earthing is to protect your electrical equipment and human beings by discharging electrical current to the earth. So, if you have a fault in your electrical installation or there is an exposed metal part which you can touch by accident, you are at risk of getting an electrical shock, since the current might use your body as a conductor from the metal to the earth. Earthing will provide a safe conductor for fault current and deploy the stream to earth.

Both procedures have to be performed by professional electrical conductor to make sure that all is due to requirements of BS7671 and, of course is safe and efficient.

Door Entry Systems are getting more popular feature for all kind of homes, whether block of flats or private houses these days. You can find them in other areas where access needs to be restricted but a full access system isn’t appropriate, in hospitals wards, for example. The systems provide you with a proper level of security because you can see people knocking your doors without opening them and encountering them face to face.  Wireless door systems it is a convenient way to allow access to your property.

We offer door entry systems which are operated via video and audio systems. Audi systems give you opportunity to speak with people behind your doors and let them enter remotely or manually. Video systems work the in same way but you are able to see people coming to your doors.

We provide with all sorts of door entry system operate by push buttons or touch screens and modified satisfying your requirements.

In the UK, domestic and small commercial or public installations as a rule have single-phase supplies at 230V. The general distributions are called consumer units (CUs), also they may be.

CU’s are known as fuse boxes; older consumer units used fuses until the advent of mini-circuit breakers (MCBs). A consumer unit usually has а single horizontal row of fuses or MCBs but some older units grouped four fuses in a square arrangement. For two-rate supplies (standard/off-peak), a second CU may be added (stacked). Multiple CUs are as well found in larger premises.

Every day your electrical system loses its relevancy, as new kitchens, electrical sockets, bathrooms installing in the house. As a result, the system might be overloaded since it was not initially designed for carrying such amount of circuits.

When we perform periodic inspection, we often find that 2 or more circuits are wired into the same fuse, or do not have the proper rating of overload protection getting your home at risk of fire.

According to the latest BS7671 all circuits have to be protected by RCD (Residual Circuit Device). RCD is a necessary measure since it protects your house from fires and probable electric shocks.

Many property owners do not have RCD installed but it became obligatory since 2008 reg:522.6.7/8. BS7671 Amendment 1 2011 IEE Regulations. They are suitable to every new type 17th Edition consumer units we install and trips if more than 30mA or fault current exists.

New consumer units got MCbs in order to protect the circuit from overload. For instance, cable with the rate 10amps, then MCB is supposed to be rated below that, so that it’ll trip instead of cable getting hot. Also, the newest consumer units have 2 RCDs for fault protection. The purpose of having two is that the circuit (lights, sockets) can be split and in case a fault occurs you don’t lose all the electricity in the house, what really helps if you have food that might be spoiled or “vulnerable” devices.

We give 12-month warrant for all our consumer units and an Electrical Installation Certificate is issued on work accomplished.

Consumer units usually are installed during home rewiring as it provides your house with maximum safety.

Our company offers full service in consumer replacement in London, that is executed by local authorized electricians.

When you are going to rewire a house, it is a good idea firstly to assess the importance of locations for plug sockets, lights and other accessories. It is going to be a major job and it apparently will be the last time you get the property rewired in your lifetime. So, it is a wise move to have a good think to correctly locate outlets for current and possible future expansion. Will you be having any extensions like garden buildings even maybe having a hot tub in the future, building a new shed for your tools, because now it’s the time to put the electrics in for these projects, rather than later on? To run other circuit in to the delivery board at this stage with the house already being stripped to the bone is cheaper of what it will cost in the future, and will be a lot less mess. As a rewiring is classed as major works the building regulations regarding the installation must be implemented. These items involve fire safety, accessibility, ventilation and energy efficiency all they need to be adapted to fit the property.

The most probable reasons why you need to do partial or full rewiring:

• Limited quantity of sockets per room
• Signs of damage to sockets outlets, lights and switches
• Signs of overheating at socket outlets
• Switches and sockets mounted on skirting boards
