Safety First

We are always conscious of safety issues.  We would like to share this picture with you all, its a switch that was controlling an electric shower but it could easily have been controlling a cooker and the result could have been a lot worst.

Electricity has the power to cause fires and even electric shock, it is this very reason that we only use reputable equipment.  It does mean that very often we will be more expensive when quoting against other contractors, but our reputation depends on the quality of work we install.  If you have a shower switch or cooker switch like this one and it either sticks or smells of burning or a fish like smell - then we urge you not to use the appliance but call out a reputable electrician to check the suspect switch.  Don’t take the risk with your safety, the safety of your family and that of your home.

We were delighted to present our business to the customers of the Bank Of Ireland Blanchardstown branch during the recently held National Enterprise Week.  The initiative is a great way for business to have a showcase in what can only be described as a very busy space.

There were also a number of events hosted by Bank Of Ireland throughout the country with some very enthusiastic speakers from a variety of backgrounds, be it business or academic.  A considerable amount of work was put into the organization of such a countrywide event and we wish to acknowledge this fact and say a very big Thank You to each member of staff who were involved.

The new scheme for the Electrical Regulatory Safety ensures that all electrical installations are carried out by competent electrical contractors.  This scheme is being heavily advertised at present and is informing the general public of the importance of using a Registered Electrical Contractor and why it is important to always get a Completion Certificate.

Only registered contractors will be permited to use the Safe Electric logo,  as members of RECI we are therefore allowed use this logo on both our paperwork along with our website.

Someone posed the question “how many times a year or how often should I get my intruder alarm system serviced?”  The answer is “It depends”, the environment in which the alarms system operates will impact on how often the system requires to be serviced.  If the system is giving a number of false alarm activations then there is a reason for the activations and this should be investigated.

A newly installed alarm may in certain circuminstances require attention when the sensitivity of the sensors might require adjustment, outside influnces that can impact the operation of a system would be heavy passing traffic or even barking dogs.

It is however recommended that domestic systems be checked at least once per year, among the parts of the system that may require attention is the battery.  The battery is one part of the intruder alarm system that is vital, this will enable the system to operate even in the event of a power failure.  The lenght of time that it will operate for will however depend on the battery.

Should you require a service to be carried out on your intruder alarm system please contact Daniel at 0872514860 to arrange a suitable time.



Kickboard lighting

Kickboard lighting adds atmosphere to modern kitchens, the lights in the picture below are white LED lights which also come in blue.

This is a great way to make a statement in a kitchen, but they also look great in other locations.  Pelmet lighting is the lights that are placed underneath the pelmet, they are great for throwing light onto the working surface of the kitchen workspace.
