A new home EV charging point installed ⚡🚗

There's a little more to installing an EV charger than fixing it to the wall!

For this recent job, our team supplied and installed a 7 kW BG Sync charger with a 7.5 m tethered cable, mounted on the customer's driveway wall.

The electrical supply was taken from the existing solar distribution board, with appropriate circuit protection and cabling routed around the wall and into the property.

While on site, the team also had a potentially live PIR cable to check and make safe, along with an additional IP-rated socket to install.

Another example of the different electrical jobs we carry out for homeowners.

Better car park lighting isn’t just about fitting brighter lights. Positioning matters too.

For this commercial job, the existing exterior fittings were removed and replaced with two new 100W LED floodlights.

The new lights were repositioned at a higher mounting height to improve the spread and coverage across the rear car park, with the wiring altered and extended as required and the external connections made weatherproof.

Once complete, the installation was tested to make sure everything was safe and operating correctly.

A practical upgrade, but one that can make a real difference to how usable and visible an outdoor area is after dark.

Positive Electrics carries out commercial lighting installations, upgrades and electrical work across Chesterfield, Derbyshire and Sheffield.

New equipment for your business? Don't forget about the electrics behind it. ⚡

We were recently brought in to connect a new oven to the existing electrical supply at a commercial premises.

Before making the connection, we needed to confirm the existing circuit was suitable, safely isolate the supply and then terminate and secure the new connections.

Once connected, we carried out the appropriate electrical and functional checks to make sure everything was ready for safe operation.

It's a good reminder that when you're investing in new equipment, the electrical requirements need to be considered too.

Sometimes the existing supply will already be suitable. Other times, alterations may be needed before the equipment can be safely connected.

If you're planning new equipment for your workplace, Positive Electrics can help establish what's required and carry out the electrical work.

Sometimes the right solution starts with checking what can already be used.

We were recently called out to Inkersall Post Office in Chesterfield to check whether the customer’s own LED tubes were compatible with the existing fittings.

They were, so we were able to replace them without creating unnecessary extra work or cost.

It’s a small job, but a good example of why it’s worth assessing what’s already there before recommending a bigger solution than the customer actually needs.

What should a business expect from an electrical contractor?

Good electrical work matters, but so does how the job is carried out.

For a busy workplace, that means planning access properly, keeping disruption to a minimum, communicating clearly and leaving the premises clean and ready to use.

Whether it’s an electrical upgrade, inspection, maintenance or fault finding, the work should fit around the business wherever possible.

Positive Electrics works with businesses across Chesterfield, Derbyshire and Sheffield on commercial electrical installations, testing, maintenance and upgrades.

An electrical fault doesn't have to be a big one to cause disruption

A lighting circuit goes down.

A socket or piece of equipment suddenly can't be used.

Part of a workplace is left without power.

The electrical issue itself might be relatively small, but what stops working as a result can quickly become inconvenient.

That's one of the reasons we're such strong advocates of a proactive approach to electrical maintenance.

Routine inspections can help identify developing issues, signs of deterioration and recurring faults earlier, giving you the opportunity to investigate and deal with them before they develop further.

It can't prevent every unexpected electrical fault, but knowing more about the condition of your electrical installation can make it much easier to stay ahead of potential problems.

For businesses, that can mean less avoidable disruption.

And at home, the principle is much the same: small electrical issues are usually better investigated sooner rather than later.

Sometimes the biggest part of the job isn't fitting something new.

It's finding the real cause of the problem.

Recently, we were asked to investigate a non-functioning EV charger. Rather than jumping straight to replacing equipment, we carried out a methodical fault-finding process, identified the issue, sourced the correct replacement parts and got everything working again.

That's why we always believe in understanding the problem first. A careful diagnosis helps ensure the right repair is carried out and can often avoid unnecessary replacement.

We're always grateful when customers take the time to share their experience. David recently left us this review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Diagnosed my non-functioning EV charger quickly and arranged replacement parts. Fitted and all working well again. Great service and a very friendly business to work with."

Whether it's EV charger fault finding, repairs, servicing or a new installation, we're here to help keep you moving.

Have you ever had an electrical fault that turned out to have a much simpler solution than you expected?

Five early warning signs electricians look for during a routine inspection.

When we carry out an electrical inspection, we're not expecting to uncover major problems.

In fact, most inspections are about spotting the little things before they have the chance to become bigger ones.

Some of the early warning signs we look for include:

🚩 Loose or deteriorating electrical connections.

🚩 Early signs of overheating or discolouration.

🚩 Damaged or worn sockets, switches or accessories.

🚩 Flickering or deteriorating lighting.

🚩 Circuits that trip occasionally or other intermittent electrical faults.

Finding one of these doesn't automatically mean there's a serious problem.

It simply gives us the opportunity to investigate, understand what's causing it and deal with it before it develops further.

That's why routine electrical inspections are such an important part of keeping homes and businesses running safely and reliably.

Sometimes, the most valuable part of an inspection is the problem that never has the chance to become one.

🔌 Still relying on extension leads because there's never a socket where you need one?

Adding an extra double socket is one of the simplest ways to make your home more practical and can help reduce the need for trailing extension leads around the house.

Whether you're setting up a home office, updating your living room or simply need more convenient power points, a professionally installed socket can make a real difference.

At Positive Electrics, we carry out electrical installations, repairs and fault finding for homeowners and businesses across Chesterfield, Sheffield and the surrounding areas, always aiming to provide reliable workmanship, clear communication and a tidy finish.

Have you ever wished you had an extra socket in a particular room? Let us know in the comments. 👇
