What it means: a fixture has a light bulb with a higher wattage than the fixture is designed for. Code violation? yes. Danger level: high. The bulb’s intense heat can scorch or melt the socket and insulation on the fixture’s wires, which increases the risk of arcing — sparks that jump through the air from one wire to another — a chief cause of electrical fires. The damage to socket and wires remains even after the bulb has been removed. Solution: stay within the wattage limit listed on all light fixtures made since 1985. For older, unmarked fixtures, use only 60-watt bulbs or smaller.

We have sourced information from a variety of places to reiterate key pieces of information and to make the learning as accessible as possible. Included within the pack is the opportunity for self-assessment so candidates can check their knowledge and progress along the way.

If we contact you to let you know that it’s time for us to test the electrical system in your home, we’ll usually book a half-day appointment for the work to be done. If you’re unable to make an appointment, please contact us to re-arrange this. An electrical engineer will test and inspect your home’s consumer unit (fuse box), and your sockets, lights and switches. While they work, the engineer will need to turn off your power supply – this is usually for a period of up to two hours. So long as you keep your fridge and freezer doors closed during this time, the contents won’t be affected.
