Smell something burning – don't ignore it!

Intermittent flickering of lights, sockets not working, or a strange smell that's a bit fishy or burning. Perhaps it happens during certain times of the day, whilst carrying out a particular task, or when using a particular home appliance.

It can often be difficult to track down and locate where the smell is coming from. There are occasions when things within the electrical installation do go wrong, and the fault or burning smell could come from a number of places or situations – the fusebox, near a double socket in the hallway, or even from under the stairs, for example. Depending on your sensitivity to smells, not everyone in the property might be able to smell it either.

One thing that is most important is that if you can smell burning, action must be taken. Don't just leave it and hope it goes away. If there are visible flames or smoke, this is a fire emergency and you should get everyone to safety and call the fire brigade on 999. But before it gets to that point, if you've noticed a concerning burning smell, get an electrician out to investigate it.

Our hands-on experience has led us to know what to look for and where to look to help track down and locate the concerning smell. What could be causing it? Overloaded circuits or cables, poor connections at sockets and switches, or commonly, connections or components within the fusebox itself.

What you're smelling can be plastics or other materials within the installation overheating, producing a horrible smell that's hard to forget. Sometimes the smell is accompanied by flickering lights, sockets or a shower not working, for example, or even a total loss of power – but not always.

After a confirmed booking, we'll arrive promptly and carry out visual inspections along with using our specialist electrical testing equipment. Our number one priority is your safety, whether that's just isolating a faulty circuit or carrying out a repair or replacement as required.

We hold and carry stock to address many common issues 24 hours a day, whether that's switchgear such as circuit breakers, main switches or RCDs that need replacing, or things like central heating controls, sockets and pull cords. We often have the accessories needed to deal with issues there and then.

The choice of how we proceed will be yours. We don't pressure you into having something replaced if you just want something made safe – we can do that too.

A Common Electrical Fault We Attend in Birmingham

In Birmingham, one issue we regularly see is partial power loss affecting sockets, lighting, or downstairs electrics, especially in older properties, flats, and homes that have been extended over time.

These faults are often linked to damaged socket connections, overloaded accessories, or wear on older wiring. Our electricians carry out fault finding, isolate the affected circuit, and make the installation safe before completing the necessary repair work.

If your electrics have suddenly stopped working or only part of the property has lost power, we provide 24/7 emergency electrician callouts in Birmingham with fast response times for homes and businesses.
