Electrical Inspections | David Blundell Electrical
Why inspect and test electrical appliances?
Left untested, electrical appliances and installations can become a major hazard in a property, potentially resulting in death.
Our fully qualified electricians are able to test appliances and circuits to ensure current safety regulations are being met, and offer affordable solutions in the event a fault is present. We also offer electrical surveys for homebuyers.
All electrical installations deteriorate over time, damaged installations can and do kill if not maintained correctly.
