No matter the electrical work you need carried out, it is always recommended that you consult a trained electrician first and ideally have them do the work for you.

That said, there are plenty of homeowners and landlords that like to take on electrical projects themselves, which is why we have compiled this list for you.

Anyone looking to do some DIY electrical work at home must make sure that all work complies with Part P of the Building Regulations which restricts DIY electrical work on grounds of safety. However, you are still allowed to carry out some work yourself without notifying Building Control.

There is no doubt that electricity is a potent energy source for powering machinery, lighting items, tools, devices, and other products used by us in our day-to-day lives. However, the same electricity can also be a huge health hazard which causes severe injuries and deaths.

This is why people who work in the electrical industry develop electrical safety standards and use electrical safety equipment to safeguard themselves and those around them from potential hazards.

At Nigel Adams Electrical, all of our electricians are training in electrical use and maintenance safety. Not just so they are kept safe but for the safety of our customers too, who will be using the tools, lighting and equipment long after we are gone.

Why is your electric bill so high?

We have all been there at some point or another. In this post, I give you some tips on how you can reduce your electrical bill and take control of your spending.

Firstly, it may be because your previous tariff ended and you've been moved to a more expensive tariff by your electricity company—for instance, a Standard Variable Tariff, which is often a supplier's most expensive tariff. Whether or not this is the case, you may want to compare prices and switch to another supplier or find a cheaper tariff from the same supplier. To check for a cheaper energy deal it helps to have on hand:

- Your postcode
- The name of your current supplier (e.g., British Gas, EDF Energy, Npower, etc.)
- How you pay (e.g., monthly direct debit, quarterly direct debit, pay on receipt of bill, prepayment meter)
- The name of your current energy tariff (e.g., standard variable, etc.)
- How much you spend (£) or use (kWh) on gas and electricity
- Any exit fees
- A current meter reading
- Your Meter Point Access Number (MPAN) and Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) - find these on a recent bill
- Bank details (if you'll pay by direct debit)

Household Appliances

Household appliances can be the largest contributor to your electric bills, even if they spend a majority of the time in standby mode. Some appliances are more power-hungry than others, however, so it's useful to know the biggest offenders if you're wondering why your energy bills are so high.

Refrigerators

In most households, the fridge uses more energy each year than any other appliance. While a fridge doesn't use a lot of energy each hour (in the range of 20 to 45 Watts per hour—much less than, say, the tumble dryer which uses 1300 to 2300 watts per hour), it's on 24/7. By running day and night, the electricity to keep your drinks cold and your food fresh can cost £30 to £60 per year. This is one appliance you'll want to make sure is energy efficient. When it's time to upgrade, buy the most energy-efficient fridge you can afford. Day to day, remember small tips that can make a big difference:

- Keep your fridge full (once cold, contents help maintain lower temps)
- Don't stand there browsing with the doors open (letting the cold air escape)
- Don't put hot or warm food in the fridge (let it cool on the counter first)

Dehumidifiers

Dehumidifiers are some of the worst domestic appliances in terms of energy consumption. With average humidity levels reaching between 70 and 90% in most parts of the UK, many people use a dehumidifier in their homes. Unfortunately, dehumidifiers use between 250 and 750 watts per hour on average. Running a dehumidifier for 8 hours a day could increase your daily electric charge by £0.31 to £0.93. While this might not seem like much on a daily basis, it works out to between £113 and £339 per year, depending on the power consumption of your unit.

If you use a dehumidifier, we suggest checking its power consumption (it should be on the label or you can Google your particular model). If your machine is older and less efficient, you may want to consider buying a more energy-efficient humidifier—it could save you money in the long run, especially if it gets a lot of use in your home.

Lights

While traditional (and energy-inefficient) incandescent bulbs are practically a thing of the past, UK consumers still have a choice between bulbs with varying levels of energy consumption: halogen, CFL and LED. To get the equivalent light of a 60-watt incandescent bulb, you'd only use 6-12 watts for an LED, 13-15 watts for CFL or around 40 watts for a halogen bulb. If you're now using halogen bulbs, there is still a significant amount of savings to be found by switching to LED, especially since the cost of LED bulbs has come down significantly in the past few years—you can now find them for less than £3 apiece.

I hope this helps.

Watch out for overloaded outlets to protect your home

Overloading an electrical outlet is a common cause of electrical problems. Check all outlets to ensure they are cool to the touch, have protective faceplates and are in proper working order.

Here are a few safety tips:

- Do not use extension cords or multi-outlet converters for appliances.
- Only plug one heat-producing appliance into an outlet at a time.
- Hot outlets should be checked by qualified electricians.
- Remember that power strips only add outlets—they do not change the amount of power the outlet receives.
- Smart plugs can be used to monitor outlet power loads and even shut off - appliances should an outlet begin to overheat.

Electrical Safety Tips For Your Home #1

Check that you’re using the correct wattage in all your fixtures and appliances.

Using the right bulbs can prevent electrical problems, so check all lamps, fixtures and appliances to ensure you’re using the correct wattage. If a light fixture has no wattage listed, use 60-watt bulbs or less. For unmarked ceiling fixtures, choose 25-watt bulbs.
