⚠️ A couple of dangerous discoveries from yesterday’s jobs…

One of these was an undersized cable supplying a garage, with a 13A EV charger plugged into it regularly. The other was badly overheated wiring and connections that had clearly been getting hot for quite some time.

You can see from the photos that the insulation has started to burn and melt. In most cases, this happens because the cable or connections are carrying more current than they were designed for, or because protective devices haven’t been correctly selected.

This is exactly why cable sizing, correct circuit protection, and proper installation matter so much.

A cable that’s too small for the load can overheat long before a fuse or breaker trips. Add in loose connections, ageing accessories, or higher-demand equipment like EV chargers, and it can quickly become a fire risk.

What’s important to remember is that a lot of installations like this may have been considered “acceptable” 20+ years ago. But electrical regulations change regularly for good reason — homes now use far more power than they used to, and safety standards improve as we learn more from real-world failures.

It’s likely that many older garages, sheds, and outbuildings were never designed with modern loads in mind. Things like EV charging, heaters, tumble dryers, hot tubs, and workshop equipment can all push old wiring beyond its safe limits.

The best way to deal with this is to have older installations properly inspected before adding extra load onto existing circuits. It can usually be sorted fairly quickly once the issues are identified.

At SmartOhm, we deal with this regularly for homeowners across Leeds and surrounding areas. We’re a Which? Trusted Trader, NAPIT Registered, Fully Qualified, and insured above the industry norm.

Most importantly:
✔️ We turn up when we say we will
✔️ We treat your home with respect
✔️ We give honest advice without pressure

What is Smart Lighting Control—and why do I need it?

Smart lighting control lets you control your home’s lighting with a phone, smart switch, voice, or even automation—not just a wall switch.

But it’s more than just convenience.

💡 Imagine this:
• One tap to turn off every light in the house
• Lights that gently fade up in the morning
• Outdoor lights that come on at sunset, automatically
• Motion lighting in hallways and bathrooms
• Mood lighting for movie night or dinner with friends

Smart lighting gives you:
✔️ Comfort
✔️ Security
✔️ Energy savings
✔️ A beautifully lit home, without effort

At SmartOhm, we install discreet, reliable smart lighting systems that are designed around your lifestyle—not off-the-shelf gimmicks.

✅ NAPIT Registered
✅ Fully Qualified
✅ Clean, professional installation
✅ No stress. No mess.

What’s possible with Home Automation?

More than you might think.

Home automation connects and controls things like lighting, heating, blinds, sockets, appliances, gates, security and more—all working together to make life easier, safer, and more comfortable.

💡 Just a few real-world examples:
• Lights that turn on automatically when you come home
• Heating that lowers when the house is empty
• A “goodnight” button that turns everything off and sets the alarm
• Smart sockets that switch off unused appliances to save energy
• Outdoor lights that come on at sunset—without touching a timer
• Voice-activated control of blinds, lighting scenes, or music

And the best part? You don’t need to be tech-savvy.

At SmartOhm, we design systems around you—with professional installation, neat finishes, and no gimmicks.

Most people expect a tradesman to run on coffee all day…

Truth is, I don’t. I’m usually just on water and getting the job done properly.

But every now and then, you land on a job where the customers look after you better than you look after yourself.

The last couple of days have been one of those.

Indian crackers, homemade cake, something I still can’t name but tasted spot on… and I’ve even been sent home with a proper curry and fresh chapatis.

And yes… I did tuck into it before posting — because a man’s got to eat.

And it just reminds me — I genuinely do have some great customers.

But more than that, this one meant a bit more.

In their words, they’ve waited 18 years to bring this space to life… and we’ve helped make that happen.

That’s the part of the job people don’t always see. It’s not just electrics — it’s helping turn someone’s idea into something real in their own home.

It’s likely that when you’ve lived with something for that long, you want it done properly the first time. No cutting corners.

That’s why we do things the way we do:

* NAPIT Registered
* Fully Qualified
* Insured above the industry norm
* We turn up when we say we will
* We will treat your home with respect

As a Which? Trusted Trader, that standard isn’t just a badge — it comes from a proper assessment process and consistently high customer feedback.

We deal with homeowners across Leeds who want things done properly, without stress or mess. And honestly, it’s a pleasure working for people like that.

If you’ve had work done by us before — thank you. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

And if you’ve got something you’ve been putting off for years, the best way to deal with it is just to have a quick chat and see what’s possible.
