• We intend to keep our business open and will be operating as usual during this vital period of social distancing.
• We have been briefed on the symptoms of COVID-19, and everybody who works with us is under strict instructions to stay at home at the first sign of any respiratory illness or fever.
• We will wash/sanitise our hands thoroughly before and after visiting anyone’s home. We will also wear a new pair of disposable gloves for the entire visit.
• We accept contactless payments.
• We have not recently travelled overseas or knowingly had contact with an infected person. In the unlikely event of exposure, we will obviously stay home and self-isolate in line with the latest government rules.
• When booking an appointment we will ask you to confirm that you have not recently travelled overseas or knowingly come into contact with an infected person.
• We agree to adhere to the social distancing guidelines and refrain from shaking hands and keep at least 1.5m from others. We kindly ask that you do the same.
• For the time being, we will have to respectfully decline appointments to homes under quarantine.

The many benefits of LED downlights

LED stands for light emitting diodes. LED lights are small, solid light bulbs which are extremely energy-efficient and long lasting. The benefits of using LED lighting in and around your home are many and include:

• Lower power bills
• Safer with low voltage and much cooler
• Longer lasting
• 90% more efficient
• Environmentally friendly
• Full brightness every time

Tory can help you reduce your electricity bills by replacing power burning halogen lights with modern, energy-efficient LED lighting. He is happy to offer advice and can install and/or supply top quality LED lighting for your whole home or just for one room.

Life-saving hard-wired smoke alarms

Hardwired smoke alarms are mandatory in new and renovated houses, and Tory also recommends that older homes also have them installed. With a hardwired smoke alarm, you don’t have to worry about the battery running out and the smoke alarm failing. This is the best approach to early smoke detection, keeping you and your family safe in the event of a fire. Jewelbic Electrical can advise on the type and position of the smoke alarm for maximum effectiveness.

Enough power points for everyone! 

Most homes don't have enough power points. It's not a good idea to overload power outlets with adaptors and extension leads to solve the problem, as this can be extremely dangerous. The safe solution is to ask Tory to change your single power points into double, and also to add extra power points wherever you need them.

Safety switches save lives 

If you have a home that’s over 20 years old, you might not have a safety switch (RCD) in your switchboard. Installing a safety switch is an inexpensive safety measure that protects everyone from dangerous electric shocks, automatically shutting off the electricity supply when current is detected leaking from faulty switches, wiring or electrical appliances. Tory can inspect your switchboard and install a safety switch if required. He can also test any existing safety switches to make sure they are working properly.

Maintenance and safety checks

Tory can come to your home and carry out a full electrical safety test. This will identify any small problems which can be fixed before they turn into big ones. It will identify if any electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded, reveal any hazards such as live wires, and identify any dodgy, non-compliant electrical work. This is highly recommended for older homes and those which have been renovated.

Outdoor lighting

A well-lit home and outdoor area promotes a feeling of security and a well-maintained property. Lights with motion detectors are helpful for family and friends as a dark outdoor area can be flooded with light as they walk through. This can also deter would-be criminals from entering your property.
