This evening we will be looking at a new job of installing electrics within an extension in a domestic property in Stirling. 

If you plan to carry out home improvement work whether that be a new extension build, garage conversion, kitchen upgrade or other work within your home including garden work, Stirling Electrical Services have many years experience in carrying out electrical work as well as audio/visual work for these types of job and we would be delighted to hear from you. 

In January we kitted our team of electricians out in new branded workwear and the new design and colours have been a big hit with our guys and also with our customers.

With our team expanding we have placed this week a new workwear order with the company who supplies and embroiders them - Happysmile Promotional Products.

Simon and his team based in Edinburgh provide a first class service and we would certainly recommend them.

Last Saturday night our emergency electrician received a call from one of our clients asking us to attend to a property in Alloa which had no power after a flood.

On arrival our electrician found that the Residual Circuit Device (RCD) within the consumer unit had tripped switching off the electricity to a number of circuits within the property. The RCD device had tripped because as it was monitoring the circuits it had sensed an imbalance between conductors due to the water ingress at a socket and had quickly and safely switched off the electricity. 

If no RCD device had been installed within the consumer unit then the water ingress problem would have taken longer to become noticed within the electrical system so a much longer delay would have occurred before a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) tripped or even much longer if the circuit was protected by old style fuse wire which could potentially pose a fire risk to the property.

RCD devices are now an essential part of modern electrical installations and if you do not have this device installed within your home or property then we strongly recommend that one is installed for both person and property safety.

The Electrical Safety Council have published some FAQ's on RCD devices which explains more but before you visit and read  their page watch the video below which highlights why RCD devices should be installed.

We are delighted to officially welcome a new team member to Stirling Electrical Services. Natalie Thomson has been with us for 4 months and has now been offered a permanent position within the company which she has accepted. 

Natalie will play an important role within our office team and will have direct contact with many of our customers and suppliers. 

Welcome on board Natalie.
