Emergency checklist (safe, simple first steps)

First response

  1. If safe, unplug or switch off the individual appliance that seems to cause the trip (kettle, heater, etc.).
  2. If you smell burning, hear arcing, or see smoke, stay safe: move away, ventilate if safe, and call for help.
  3. Check whether neighbours have power — a wider outage may be present. For regional power cuts, contact your network operator.
  4. If you can access your consumer unit safely, you may look (without opening any covers) to see whether an RCD or breaker has tripped. Do not remove panels.
  5. Call an emergency electrician. Provide postcode, symptoms (what stopped working), any recent works, and access instructions.

Never open a consumer unit or touch exposed wiring. If unsafe or unsure, wait for a qualified electrician.

What to tell the electrician

  • Which rooms/circuits have lost power
  • Whether an appliance seems to trigger the issue
  • Any burning smells, noise, or visible damage (do not touch)
  • Access and parking notes for your property
If in doubt: isolate at the main switch only if safe to do so. Otherwise, wait for a professional.

Safe power basics (non-technical)

Good habits

  • RCDs trip to protect you from faults; repeatedly resetting without finding the cause is unsafe.
  • If an appliance trips power, unplug it and leave it unplugged until checked.
  • Water + electrics is a red flag. If a leak has reached sockets or the consumer unit, keep clear and call a professional.

We do not provide repair instructions. Always use a qualified electrician.

After a power event

  • Note the time and what was running (helps diagnosis).
  • Photograph the consumer unit position (with covers closed) for remote triage.
  • Check freezers later for thaw; avoid opening during long outages.

EICR & landlord notes

If you’re a landlord or buying a property, an EICR provides a snapshot of electrical safety and compliance at the time of inspection. Ask about format, typical duration, and how remedials are handled if something is flagged.

  • Landlord EICR typically every 5 years or at change of tenancy (confirm current regulations).
  • Remedial works may be required if issues are found; request a clear, itemised quote.
  • For older terraces, consumer unit upgrades (with RCD/RCBO protection) may be recommended.

Always check credentials and request proof of insurance/accreditation.

EV chargers & consumer units

EV charger basics

  • Home EV chargers need a dedicated circuit and load assessment; a site survey is typical.
  • Consumer unit capacity and main fuse rating may limit EV charger options.

Consumer unit upgrades

  • For consumer unit upgrades, expect power-off windows; plan fridge/freezer access accordingly.
  • Request a labelled circuit schedule and test results after the upgrade.

Common scenarios (quick guidance)

No power in part of the house

Likely a tripped breaker/RCD or a faulty appliance. Leave any suspect appliance unplugged and call a professional.

RCD keeps tripping

Could be moisture ingress or a failing device. Repeated resets without diagnosis are unsafe — call an electrician.

Need a landlord certificate (EICR)

Book an EICR with a provider who can handle remedials and issue documentation promptly.

Add outdoor lighting

Ask about IP ratings, RCD protection, and cable routing to suit the terrace layout.

Upgrade consumer unit

Discuss RCBO vs RCD/MCB combos, surge protection, labelling and test sheets.

Install an EV charger

Arrange a survey for load checks and placement; ask about smart tariff integration.

Frequently asked questions

Q1.Do electricians in Saltaire offer 24/7 emergency callout?

Some do; availability varies. Call featured providers first and describe symptoms clearly. If unsafe (smell of burning/smoke), keep clear and call for help.

Q2.What is an EICR and do I need one?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a routine inspection of your wiring and consumer unit. Landlords typically require it on a schedule; homebuyers often request one for peace of mind.

Q3.Can I reset a tripped RCD myself?

If safe, you may attempt a single reset. If it immediately trips again, do not keep resetting — unplug suspect appliances and call a professional.

Q4.Do electricians install EV chargers?

Many do. A site survey checks load capacity and the best placement. Expect dedicated circuits and protective devices per current standards.

Q5.Do providers take card?

Many accept card or bank transfer. Confirm on booking and request an invoice/receipt.
