Identifying Potential Electrical Hazards 

When you're facing an electrical issue, you need to make sure you stay safe while waiting for a professional electrician to arrive.

If you notice a burning smell or visible sparks, you should immediately turn off the main power from your circuit breaker or safety switch if it's safe to do so. This will help you prevent any further damage and reduce the risk of fire or electrocution.

To avoid an electric shock, you should never touch exposed wires or attempt any DIY repairs to your electrical system. Always use insulated tools if you need to handle anything connected to electricity and keep water away from any electrical sources.

To troubleshoot minor problems like a flickering light or a tripped breaker, check if the problem is isolated to just one appliance. You can do this by unplugging the appliance and seeing if the issue persists. This will be useful information for your electrician, who can then find the problem and provide the solution even quicker.

Remember, while steps can help you navigate the immediate risks, they aren't substitutes for professional electrical services. You need to have a qualified electrician assess and repair any electrical problem you're facing — it's the only way to secure your safety and the functionality of your electrical system.

Safety Precautions in Electrical Emergencies

An electrical emergency can escalate quickly, so you need to know the right steps to take to secure your safety.

Power Outages

In the event of a power outage, you should first check to see whether the issue is isolated to your home, or your neighbours are affected too. If it's just your property, look at your circuit breaker to check if it has tripped. Always have a torch handy and avoid using candles — they can pose a fire risk.

Electrical Fire

If you're dealing with an electrical fire, do not attempt to extinguish it with water, as it can lead to electrocution. If it's safe, turn off the main power source. Use a fire extinguisher that's rated for electrical fires, commonly known as a Class C extinguisher. If the fire is beyond your control, evacuate the area immediately and call emergency services.

You should always prioritise your safety and avoid taking any unnecessary risks during an electrical emergency. Even in less urgent situations, the safest course of action is to simply wait for a professional.

The Easther Electrical team is equipped to handle all types of electrical emergencies. Your safety is our top priority.
