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

Glasgow commonwealth Games 2014
Glasgow Commonwealth games - Electrical contracting
As the Glasgow Commonwealth games fast approaches the city, construction has been booming in the east end of Glasgow. we have seen new building arise out of nowhere on land that has been previously derelict. W.e.s Electrical is on t=of the leading electrical contractors in Glasgow, they said they have seen there business grow 10 fold in the past 2 years mainly in the glasgow area for the build up to the games. Currently W.e.s Electrical are working in conjunction with Glasgow city council to build an athletes village close to parkhead and the new sir chris hoy vellodrome, which will accomodate the athletes every need for the duration of the commonwealth games. Afterwhich the flats will then be turned into residential flats to use for Glasgow city council. Exciting times ahead Director Iain Jamieson said " we are looking to employ another 6-8 electricians over the next 3 months just to keep up the demands of the ongoing projects, we have also tendered for various other projects in Glasgow and in preparation the wider community at large is have work done, so it is a rather busy time and im glad of it"
The games have brought a much needed boost to Glasgows econemy as everywhere else at the moment times are hard even the staple of the glasgow shipbuilders BAE Systems is under threat at the moment so any boost for the econemy is welcomed with open arms.

electrical rewire jordanhill westend glasgow
Monday afternoon went really well for us, as i personally secured a full rewire of 4 bedroom house in the westend glasgow, which is to start next monday.
really happy with this one as there were several other electrical companys in for this one, we managed to get the job due to our professionalism, customer relations and price.
thats one thing that can be hard when quoting for job is finding our where to go in with your price as there will be other electrical companys quoting for the same job.
best thing to do is be as professional as you can be, get your time keeping right and give the clients as much information as possible.this way you are covering all based and therefore should be chosen by your customer, remember its not always down to price.i have won jobs even though i was was not the cheapest electrical contractor quoting.
its all about attitude believe you can and you will. you need to learn from your mistakes and not to repeat them or you run the risk of loosing all the jobs you go for.
as Albert Einstein said "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" he did speak from a theoretical physicist point of view but it is still releent in life and is still relevent in the electrical contracting industry.
