In The Nick of Time

Intermittent electrical faults can be notoriously difficult to track down, especially in older Edinburgh tenement stairwells. We were recently called out to investigate a system where the lights had been tripping sporadically for years.

Upon detailed inspection, we uncovered the culprit: a tiny nick in the internal wiring. Heat generated over time by the old internal ballast had gradually melted the wire insulation, exposing the conductors. Similar heat degradation was beginning to affect the live and earth wires, creating a major short-circuit and fire risk.

Don't let hidden faults leave your building in the dark. Prevent ballast-related overheating altogether by upgrading to an energy-efficient LED Conversion, ensure your system runs on a reliable astronomical Timeclock, or check our clear Pricing for fault finding and repairs.
