Here at ABC Electrical, we cover areas such as Armagh,Portadown, Lurgan, Banbridge, Craigavon and Newry. With over 20 years of experience in the electrical industry in Northern Ireland, we have seen it all! There are electrical issues all year round of course but summer can be a tricky time for electrical issues. Here are a few issues that you could look out for in your home/business this summer:
Overusing Fans
While ceiling fans don’t reduce the temperature inside your home, they are great for creating wind chill. Wind chill helps your home feel cooler than it really is by moving air across your skin. If no one is in a room, turn off the ceiling fan to conserve energy. Fans are one of the biggest drains on electricity both domestically and commercially and this comes with risk. With clients across Armagh, Portadown and Newry, we have experienced many different callouts in regard to electrical issues caused by fans.
Using too many Extension cords
If you live in an older home, you may not have enough electrical outlets for all your appliances. To compensate, you may be using extension cords to place fans throughout your home. Extension cords are meant to be used as a temporary solution. Here at ABC Electricals we can install more tamper resistant outlets so you have electricity where it’s convenient for you. A tamper resistant outlet stops children from sticking sharp objects into the outlet and getting shocked. With many of our clients in Armagh, Portadown, Newry and further afield in Northern Ireland, enjoying the summer sunshine there will be increased pressure on extension cords to bring some electrical appliances to the garden or patio.
Electrical Cut-outs
The hotter the weather, the more demand is put on your power company to supply electricity. However, too much demand can cause a black out. You may be experiencing a black out if the power goes out during summer. Signs that you’re on the verge of a black out include flickering lights or groaning appliances. There’s nothing you can do during a black out except wait for the temperature to cool outside so demand for electricity also decreases.
