How NIX Electrical can help
When you get in touch, describe what is happening, when it started and anything that seems to trigger it. Photographs can help. Luke will then arrange to investigate the fault.
If you notice burning smells, scorching, sparking or hot accessories, switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so and do not use it until it has been checked.
