Wet weather in the South West can play havoc with your electri
Wireless switching!
Here at Watt & Co. Electrical, we're always looking for the best solutions to problems, whether that's modern new tools to reduce mess and disruption, or products that can save time and offer new benefits.
Yes it's true. Much like the halogen light bulbs that start being phased out a few years ago, fluorescent lights are also being phased out and by September 2023 you won't be able to buy any more fluorescent light bulbs and your electrician will be installing only new LED lights.
We should all be moving over to new LED lighting and properly disposing of the old fluorescent light bulbs. Did you know 1 fluorescent tube can contaminate up to 30,000 litres of water if disposed of incorrectly?
The answer is no!
I've been a bit slow with correspondence and not answering phone calls as swiftly as I should but there's good reason! I'm not on paternity leave after my first baby came 3 weeks early.
Fear not! Your small jobs such as fuseboard upgrades, and replacement lights are still being carried out by our other electrician, Josh. He's been holding the fort whilst I've been catching up on sleep.
As electricians, we need to properly design a circuit and use materials that are suitable for it's location. Regulations change which means a few years ago the circuit may have been designed differently. A common difference is the use of grey PVC cable for outside wall lights i.e. decorative lights or flood lights. You'll often see a small amount of grey cable coming straight out of the wall and in to the back of a light.
Lets talk lighting. I've been doing more and more lighting jobs as the months go on and I feel like it's time to take the plunge and start showing everyone what's actually out there and what cool things you can do!
The summer solstice has come and gone which means the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, outdoor lighting can add some design and style to your garden and help your CCTV system (if you have one) show a clearer image, keeping your safe in your home.
As an electrician in Corsham, Chippenham and West Wiltshire, I get to visit a lot of houses and therefore a lot of different installations. Quite commonly in older properties where the installation is around 25+ years old, the electrics like outside lighting, shed electrics or summerhouse electrics tend to be supplied from a type of cable that isn't suitable to be used outside.
The ‘Customer’ refers to the person ordering the work.

Many Electricians in Bath and West Wiltshire are simply not interested in small electrical works. They want the choice jobs, and will drop you like a hot potato when a bigger, supposedly more lucrative, project comes in.
Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications. They thrive on the basis that you don’t understand what they do and, as a result, overcharge for shoddy, and often dangerous, work.
I set up Watt & Co. Electrical in order to fill a gap in the domestic sector. I want to provide you with a quality service that provides you with exactly what you need from an electrician.
