Electrical services are the backbone of any modern home or business, ensuring that power is safely and efficiently distributed to where it’s needed. At RCD Electrical, based in North London, we pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive electrical solutions tailored to your needs. But what exactly does an electrical service entail? Below, we’ll break down the key components of electrical services, giving you a clear picture of what to expect when you hire a professional electrician.
Electrical Inspections and Testing
One of the core elements of electrical services is thorough inspections and testing. This involves checking the condition of your electrical installations to ensure they meet safety standards, such as those outlined in the UK’s Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Our team at RCD Electrical conducts detailed assessments, including:
-
Visual Inspections: Checking for obvious signs of wear, damage, or outdated wiring.
-
Periodic Testing: Performing Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to identify potential hazards like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits.
-
PAT Testing: Ensuring portable appliances are safe for use in homes or workplaces.
These checks are vital for preventing electrical faults, reducing the risk of fires, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Installation and Upgrades
Electrical services often involve installing or upgrading systems to meet modern demands. Whether you’re renovating a home or setting up a new office, our North London electricians handle:
-
Wiring and Rewiring: Installing new wiring for extensions or replacing old, unsafe wiring in older properties.
-
Lighting Systems: Fitting energy-efficient LED lighting, smart lighting systems, or outdoor security lights.
-
Consumer Units: Upgrading fuse boxes to modern consumer units with Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for enhanced safety.
-
EV Charging Points: Installing electric vehicle charging stations to support eco-friendly transport.
These installations ensure your property is equipped for today’s electrical needs while improving energy efficiency and safety.
Repairs and Maintenance
Electrical systems, like any other infrastructure, require regular maintenance and occasional repairs. At RCD Electrical, we offer prompt and reliable services to keep your systems running smoothly. This includes:
-
Fault Finding: Diagnosing issues like flickering lights, tripping circuits, or power outages.

Preventive Maintenance: Regular checks to catch minor issues before they become major problems.
Our goal is to minimise downtime and ensure your electrical systems remain dependable.

-
RCD Installation: Fitting Residual Current Devices to protect against electric shocks and fires.
