We demonstrate the operation of switches or chargers and explain the testing results before leaving. ## Why customers choose JD Electricals Customers choose JD Electricals because every installation is tested thoroughly and priced clearly in writing before work starts.

Rental properties require an electrical installation condition report at least every five years or at each change of tenancy. The inspection checks wiring, earthing, and consumer units to ensure the property meets safety standards. ### What happens if a fault is found during electrical testing? If testing reveals an issue such as damaged insulation, high resistance or missing earthing, we detail the defect and price any necessary remedial repairs separately before carrying them out. ### Can extra sockets be added to an existing ring circuit? Extra socket outlets can be spurred or wired into an existing ring circuit provided the existing wiring and consumer unit protection can safely handle the load. We test the circuit before and after connection. ### What is included with a consumer unit upgrade? A consumer unit upgrade includes removing the old fuse box, installing a modern metal enclosure with individual RCBO breakers and surge protection, testing all connected circuits, and issuing a safety certificate. ### Does someone answer the phone outside normal working hours? Calls are answered at any hour, day or night. You can explain your electrical requirements or leave details for a scheduled appointment at any time. ### How should I prepare my property for a house rewire? Clearing furniture away from perimeter walls, lifting floor coverings where possible, and providing clear access to the consumer unit helps ensure rewiring proceeds smoothly without unnecessary delays. ## Electrical coverage in Farnborough JD Electricals undertakes domestic work across the GU14 postcode.
