Frequently Asked Questions
QDo I need a dedicated circuit for my appliance?
Most appliances under 3kW can share a circuit. Anything over 3kW (electric cookers, showers, heat pumps) requires a dedicated circuit. We'll advise based on your specific needs.
QHow long does installation take?
Most circuits can be installed in 2-4 hours. Time depends on cable routing and whether concealing the cable requires plastering work.
QWill you make good damaged walls?
We'll patch visible damage and make the installation neat. For significant plastering work (e.g., covering surface-mounted cables), we'll provide a separate quotation.
QWhat if my consumer unit is full?
If there's no space for a new circuit breaker, we can upgrade your consumer unit to a larger capacity unit. This is common in older properties.
QDo I need planning permission?
No, electrical circuits don't require planning permission. However, if you're adding appliances that require Building Regulations approval (e.g., heat pumps), we'll ensure full compliance.
