Low Cost Pat Testing in South West
During PAT testing in South West, our electricians inspect your electrical appliances and verify their safety.
The electrical safety of your property not only depends on a safe, high quality electrical installation. You need to make sure your appliances are safe too.
PAT testing is a thorough inspection of the appliances in your property. If you provide appliances with a property, it’s on you to make sure those are as safe as your installation.
By appliance, we don’t just mean an oven or induction job. Appliance means any electrical device that connects to your installation.
PAT TESTING: STEP BY STEP PAT TESTING
For each of your appliances, our electricians:
- Visually inspect the appliance, checking for frayed or damaged wiring.
- Verify the appliance is adequately earthed
- Verify that live wiring is adequately insulated from metallic surfaces
- Issue the appliance with a pass or fail depending on what we find
All appliances go through step one. And for some appliances that’s all you need to do. But some appliances are considered higher risk. And those appliances need closer inspection. Each of your appliances falls under a certain PAT class. All appliances are classified based on the risk posed. Riskier appliances need more thorough inspection.
