Adding a plug socket to a room in your Bristol home can make a huge difference to how usable that space is.
No one likes fighting for a free socket to charge their phone, and having to endlessly switch around kitchen appliances to get to the one socket that’s on the countertop is frustrating to say the least. Luckily there is a solution, and it is a simple one – call in your friendly local electrician to add a new plug socket, right where you need it. Allied Electrical Services are your local, qualified electrician in Bristol and we can safely and swiftly install a new plug socket that makes your life that little bit easier.
Why Add a Plug Socket?
In many homes in Bristol, there just aren’t enough plug sockets for all the electronics we want to use. From gaming systems and TVs to multiple phones and tablets, there are a lot of electrical items in just the average living room. All these gadgets need either a dedicated plug socket or access to one for charging. For many homes this results in arguments and battles over who can charge their device first. You can also end up resorting to trailing extension cables to make the sockets more accessible. Extension cords can present a multitude of hazards. They are easy to overload, increase your risk of fire and can be a trip hazard. To solve all these problems, you should consider adding a new plug socket. You can choose where you want it and it is a simple job for a qualified electrician to carry out. There’s very little fuss or mess and it will take around an hour to complete.
Can I Install a Plug Socket?
Whilst adding a plug socket to an existing circuit is a simple task for a qualified electrician, it may not be as simple for the average DIYer. We all know that electricity is dangerous and whilst most people will take this into account whilst undertaking an electrical task, they may not think about the aftereffects of a poorly completed job. A new socket that has not been installed correctly may not be safe to use. Loose connections and incorrect wiring can cause an electrical shock or fire to occur and the hardest part is you cannot see that there is a problem until it is too late. It is far safer to have an experienced electrician carry out the installation of your new socket, that way you can be certain of a safe result.
What kind of Plug Socket can I choose?
You can choose any style of plug socket for your room. There are many styles available, and you can select whichever plug socket best suits your personal style. If you fancy something sleek and shiny, opt for chrome. Have a lot of gadgets to charge? Pick a plug socket with integrated USB ports. Speak to your electrician about which kind of plug socket you would like to go for and they’ll make sure to give you a quote for that hardware.
