Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my house in Colchester needs a rewire?
There isn’t a set time frame for when a house must be rewired, as modern PVC wiring can last much longer than older rubber or lead wiring. Instead, the key is the condition of your electrical installation. Signs you may need a rewire include flickering lights, regular tripping, damaged sockets, outdated fuse boxes, or visible old-style wiring. If you’re unsure, our qualified electricians in Colchester can carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to check whether a rewire is necessary.
Are you a qualified and insured electrician in Essex?
Yes – Powertech Electrical Installers Ltd. is fully qualified, Part P registered, insured, and compliant with the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. All our work is carried out to the highest safety standards.
What is a consumer unit, and when should it be replaced?
A consumer unit (fuse box) controls the electricity in your home and protects you from electrical faults and shocks. If you have an old fuse box with outdated equipment it’s time to upgrade. A modern consumer unit with RCD protection offers much better safety and ensures your property meets current electrical regulations.
Do you only do rewires and fuse box changes, or smaller jobs too?
We handle all types of electrical work across Essex, including full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, new sockets, lighting installations, garden lighting and general electrical repairs. No job is too big or small.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Colchester and provide electrical services across Essex and surrounding areas, including London, Chelmsford, Braintree, Clacton, Ipswich, and beyond.
Do you carry out landlord safety checks in Essex?
Yes – we carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for landlords, which are legally required every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. We also handle any remedial work if issues are found.
