Electric cables and wiring can wear out over time. Black rubber cables, wooden fuseboxes, and round pin sockets may indicate an older installation. A registered electrician can check your wiring and give you peace of mind.

Book an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to check the condition of your wiring.

You can find a registered electrician via Electrical Safety First ⤵️
