Westend Glasgow Electrician

ELECTRICIANS EICR GLASGOW

Coming to the end of 2012 after a long year, and reflecting on how much things can change in business in a year, first off you would not believe a year ago how much of an importance blogging is and website 2.0 maintenance can have an effect on website traffic. But throughout this year i have learned more and more in regards to this and aim to put it all to goo use for W.E.S Electrical in 2013. Still working through the holidays but was in the westend Glasgow earlier today before a journey to Bearsden Glasgow. First job was to price up a job for the new year and second job was a shower installation in Bearsden. The shower install was the only real work i had on today as i dont usually count quoting for jobs as work. Firstly i have to inspect the shower to see if it was fixible or not, after removing the cover i noticed that the terminal cables on the shower side of the installation and they were burned.Futher testing with my electrical meter tells me that the element has shorted and most likely has caused the electrial burning. next i have to isolate the water,now finding the water isolation switch can be challenging , and this one certainly was, it was located somwhere in the attic, but noone in the house know which one, so up i went into the dark attic with my torch, to follow the pipe work. Luckly the plumber who installed the pipe was sensible and installed a isolation valve on it. so it turned out to be not to bad to find after climbing over some things in the attic. Next it was off to bnq to get a triton shower, and then back to fit the shower. the cable at the original installation was a 6mm2 twin and earth which limits me to what wattage of shower i can install, i chose to install the 8.5kw option. the triton shower goes on with no real issues and after connecting the pipe and the cable i turn the power and the water back on and the shower is now fully operational.

Electrician in Clarkston

My new website is up and running finally. my site is www.weselectrical.co.uk and we are based in Clarkston in Glasgow. We have recently moved from the westend Glasgow to southside Glasgow - Clarkston, this is my 3rd website as i have moved over the years and look to keep my work as locally as i can. these are my top tips for electrical safety in the home

1. DON'T plug a bunch of stuff into one outlet or extension cord. It could damage the electrical system in your house or even cause a fire. 2. Make sure all electric cords are tucked away, neat and tidy. Pets might chew on electrical cords, and people might trip and fall. 3. DON'T ever climb the fence around an electrical substation. If a ball or pet gets inside the fence, ask a grown-up to call the electric company - they'll come and get it out for you. 4. DON'T yank an electrical cord from the wall. Pulling on a cord can damage the appliance, the plug or the outlet. 5. Fly your kite far away from power lines or substations. The kite and the string may conduct electricity - sending it right through you to the ground. 6. Ask a grown-up for help when you need to use something that uses electricity. 7. DO look up and look out for power lines before you climb a tree. The electricity can go right through the tree branch - and right through you! 8. Have a grown-up put safety caps on all unused electrical outlets. Covering outlets will also help save energy by stopping cold drafts. 9. Remind your mom or dad to watch out for power lines when they're using a ladder, chainsaw or other outdoor equipment. 10. Keep electrical stuff far away from water. Most electrical accidents around the house happen when people use electricity near water. Always consult a qualified electrician before doing any work

Electric shower installations

ELECTRICIANS IN THE WESTEND OF GLASGOW


There are Loads of things one can do to revamp their entire household and renovating the bathroom is no exception. People are becoming increasingly interested in products such as the Electric Showers and Power Showers that need an electrical supply, that can be a good addition to your bathroom. They make the experience of taking a shower way more comfortable with all the features to offer and their user friendliness and style aspect. If you have a fascination with spending quality leisure time in the shower everyday or if you are just there for a quick bath, these products can be helpful either ways. An Electric Shower does not only look impressive stylish and sleek, but it is definitely of equal use. It is a kind of shower device that heats its own water and does not need any external water supply for the same. It is a self sufficient system and can be fitted in any kind of property without much hassle. The electric shower comes with a heater that gets attached to the wall. The shower unit itself can either be fixed or a movable one depending on the preference of the user. It comes in pleasing contemporary designs and doesn’t require much space on installation. The Power Shower on the other hand is different only because it needs an external supply of hot water instead of heating it on its own. They move the water to the shower head using a pump. This way they maintain the water pressure as per the user’s likes and does not let it drop even if there’s less water, unlike regular shower units. There are three basic kinds of Power Showers depending on the placement of the pump and the mixer in the whole system. The Single Impeller Pump, the Double impeller pump and the Built in pump are the most common types available. The cold and hot water pipes are fitted to these pumps and help in pushing the water to the mixer or shower head. The Double impeller pump is considered better of the lot because it can be used for more than one outlet in the bathroom such as basins, baths etc. electrician westend glasgow
