Back to School!

The summer holidays are nearly over and a little bit of routine is about to return! 🙌

While Carl and the team have been keeping TES running at full speed as usual, behind the scenes we have been attempting to juggle office work, family life, childcare and all the other plates that come with the school holidays!

With the children heading back to school on Monday, Gemma will be back in the office on her usual days and our normal routine can resume… although we're sure it won't stay quiet for long! ☕

Running a family business really is a family affair, and the school holidays certainly add another level to the juggling act. But amongst the juggling, we love every minute of having the flexibility to spend that extra time with our children and make some really special memories together. Those are the moments that make the chaos completely worth it!

Good luck to all the children heading back to school – and a little high five to all the parents who made it through the summer holidays! ✋

Have a great weekend everyone! 💙

Fun Friday! ⚡📍

Ever wondered what a typical Friday looks like for one of our electricians?

For James L, it's a day spent travelling across the county carrying out routine fire alarm testing.

Every Friday, James visits 7 different locations, testing the fire alarm systems in 12 different properties – making sure everything is working exactly as it should.

Have a fantastic weekend from all of us at TES! ⚡

⚡ Did You Know? ⚡

Your consumer unit (often called a fuse board) is the heart of your home's electrical installation.

Modern consumer units are fitted with advanced safety devices such as RCDs, RCBOs and Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), which are designed to:

✅ Reduce the risk of electric shock
✅ Help prevent electrical fires
✅ Disconnect faulty circuits quickly
✅ Protect sensitive electrical equipment from transient overvoltages (where fitted)

If your consumer unit still has rewireable fuses or is more than 20 years old, it may not provide the same level of protection as a modern installation.

When was the last time your consumer unit was inspected?

If you're unsure, we'd be happy to carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and advise whether your installation meets current safety standards.

🔋 Another EV Charger Installed! ⚡

A great job completed by James L, who recently installed a new electric vehicle charging point at a client's property.

Having a dedicated home EV charger makes charging more convenient, faster, and often more cost-effective than relying on public charging points.

Whether you're a new EV owner or looking to upgrade your current charging setup, we're here to help with safe, professional installations tailored to your needs.

Thinking about installing an EV charger at home? Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Friday lunch break treats ☕

Nothing beats an iced coffee on a Friday!

A little lunchtime visit to ChanelsCakery here at Prow Park, and they definitely didn't disappoint. 👌

If you're nearby and haven't already, we'd highly recommend popping in and supporting another local business.

⚡ Did You Know? ⚡

Electrical cables hidden within walls aren't run randomly.

There are specific "safe zones" where cables should be installed to reduce the risk of accidentally drilling into them.

Always check before drilling into walls!

⚡ Completed Works ⚡

We were recently contacted by a client after a fault had been identified on their external lighting circuit.

Following our assessment, it was found that the cable supplying the existing lights had deteriorated as it wasn't suitable for the environment it had been installed in. To ensure a safe and reliable installation, we acted quickly to rectify the issue.

Our solution included:
💡 Installing a brand-new external lighting circuit.
✨ Fitting modern LED outdoor lighting.
🔧 Ensuring the installation was safe, compliant, and built to last.

We understand how important external lighting is for both safety and security, so we were pleased to get this resolved promptly for our client.

If you're experiencing issues with your outdoor lighting or require an upgrade, we're always happy to help.

🐶 The office is currently staffed by Bonnie...

She's always the first to greet visitors and the last to let you leave! 💙

We're not sure if she's waiting for customers... or hoping someone has biscuits.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone from Bonnie and the TES team! ⚡

🚨 A Friendly Safety Reminder 🚨

We shared this tip a little while ago, but it's one that's always worth repeating.

Have you tested your smoke alarm recently?

It only takes a few seconds to press the test button, but it could make all the difference in an emergency.

✔ Test your smoke alarms once a month
✔ Replace batteries if required
✔ Never ignore a low battery warning
✔ Replace smoke alarms when they reach the end of their recommended lifespan

A working smoke alarm provides an early warning, giving you and your family valuable time to get out safely.

Take a minute today to check yours – it's one of the simplest but most important home safety checks you can do.

Have you tested yours this month?

⚡ Investing in the Future ⚡

This Wednesday, James, James and Carl will be heading back to the classroom to begin their Solar PV course with Focus Training Group, following on from successfully completing their Battery Storage Systems training.

As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, we're committed to expanding our knowledge and ensuring we can offer our customers the latest technologies, installed safely and to the highest standards.

Continuous training is an important part of what we do, helping us stay up to date with industry developments and provide the best possible service.

Good luck to the team—we're looking forward to seeing what they learn! ☀️🔋
