 ''Electrical accidents in the home and in the garden happen more than you would realise. All too often I walk in to a home to carry out a periodic inspection on an older property only to find an instant fail because the consumer unit is out of date and ther are no RCDS's fitted, a standard requirement now for every home. But these are preventable, and I'm here to tell you how''....At this point, you may be asking yourself 'What is an RCD?'. Well, it's a life saving device designed to prevent you getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as a bare wire. It's a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses and circuit breakers cannot provide. If you are worried about your own home and family and whether you are protected, then go to your consumer unit and check whether you have built-in RCD protection. You need to look for devices with a push buttonmarked 'T' or 'Test', and a label stating 'Test Quarterly'. If you see them, it's likely you are already RCD protected. If however you are missing these buttons, or simply want to be reassured then call us today. A new consumer unit through us doesn't cost as much as you might think - we are running a special offer until the end of 2011 - check out our special offer pages for costs and more info. And remember kids, stay safe out there. Call in the professionals, don't try and fix anything yourself that you are unsure about! Ben |
