What is a domestic electrical team?
A domestic electrical team are electricians who carry out electrical work mainly inside residential flats or houses. For example, this can involve running cables, installing lighting, replacing fuse boxes, and repairing electrical parts around the home. Every room has different requirements. For instance, bathroom electrics won’t be set up in the same way as kitchen electrics. Because of this, domestic electricians have the opportunity and freedom to specialise in different areas of a home.
Due to the rising popularity of electric cars, domestic electricians can now also install residential vehicle charging points. Domestic electricians can offer a wide range of services. Domestic electricians have standards and regulations that they must follow to make sure installations are safe and compliant. Please get in contact with BES Electrical today to discuss how we can help you.
What is a commercial electrical team?
A commercial electrical team are professionals who complete electrical work for other businesses. For example, offices, schools, restaurants, shops, and data centres. Sometimes a commercial electrician extends their services to industrial environments such as factories. However, this may require some engineering expertise. Work that a commercial electrician will carry out includes dealing with server rooms, backup generators, power supplies and industrial control panels. Other work includes carrying out inspection reports, installing lighting and testing electrical appliances. Commercial electricians have standards and regulations that they must follow to make sure installations are safe and compliant.

How often should I get my electrics tested?
It is recommended that you get your electrics tested every three to five years. To keep up with recent safety standards, you need to update your electrical system when necessary. This still applies to people who have a new house. Keep your family safe by contacting BES Electrical today so we can test all of your electrics.
When is PAT testing required?
When PAT testing is required depends on the type of equipment. Moveable equipment such as extension leads and portable equipment needs to be tested every twenty-four months. However, handheld equipment needs to be tested every twelve months. This also applies to all class one equipment in schools. Class two equipment needs to be tested every forty-eight months. Our expert team at BES Electrical can help with PAT testing.

What is an EICR report, and do I need one?
An EICR report stands for an electrical installation condition report. An EICR report is used to identify defects, deterioration, damages, and conditions which may indicate potential danger. It also provides recommendations for improvement within a given property. All landlords must acquire a report from the person who is conducting the inspection. This report will explain if you require any work. Since April 2021, an EICR certificate became a legal requirement. Get in contact with BES Electrical today to discuss any legal requirements you need help with.
