Other common call-outs include outdoor lighting and socket failures (often caused by moisture ingress), faulty shower units or immersion heaters, and problems with newly installed appliances that are not drawing power correctly.

Repair vs Replacement, How the Decision Affects Your Electrical Costs
Deciding whether to repair a faulty component or replace it entirely is a common cost consideration in electrical work. For an older consumer unit with rewireable fuses, for example, a full replacement with a modern RCD-protected unit is nearly always a better long-term investment than ongoing repairs to an outdated board, even if it costs more in the short term.
Similarly, if an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) reveals multiple category C2 observations (potentially dangerous conditions), the total cost of individual repairs may approach or exceed the cost of a partial or complete rewire. A qualified electrician in Crediton will advise you honestly on the most cost-effective approach, rather than simply selling the largest job.
Request multiple quotes and ask each electrician to explain their reasoning behind their recommended approach before making a decision.
Electrical Emergencies, What to Do and Who to Call
An electrical emergency includes: a burning smell from the consumer unit, sockets, or wiring; visible scorching or melting around electrical fittings; sparking or arcing; a total loss of power that cannot be explained by a tripped breaker; electric shock from a fitting or appliance; or flooding in close proximity to an electrical installation. These situations require immediate professional attention.
If you smell burning or see sparking, switch off the relevant circuit at the consumer unit, or turn off the mains if you are unsure which circuit is affected. Do not use the circuit or the affected sockets until a qualified electrician has inspected it. If there is flooding near electrical installations, turn off the electricity at the main switch before allowing anyone near the water.
Not always. An RCD or MCB that trips once and then stays reset may simply have responded to a transient fault or an overloaded circuit. However, if it trips repeatedly or will not reset at all, this indicates a persistent fault that needs investigating by a qualified electrician. Never tape down or bypass a tripping breaker, it is a safety device doing its job.
First check whether your neighbours also have no power, if they do, the issue is with the network supply and you should contact your Distribution Network Operator (found on your electricity bill). If only your property is affected, check the consumer unit for tripped breakers and reset them. If the power does not return or the breaker immediately trips again, call a qualified electrician in Crediton.
