We can help with:

Emergency Electrician Runcorn

If you have an urgent electrical problem in Runcorn, Red Elec can help.

Electrical issues such as tripping circuits, power loss, burning smells, hot sockets, sparks, buzzing switches or damaged wiring should not be ignored. These can be signs of a fault that needs checking by a qualified electrician.

We can help with emergency electrical issues including:

  • Fuse box or consumer unit tripping
  • RCDs that will not reset
  • Partial power loss
  • Faulty sockets or switches
  • Burning smells from electrics
  • Sparks or buzzing fittings
  • Water-damaged electrics
  • Unsafe or exposed wiring

If there is smoke, fire or immediate danger, leave the property and call 999. For urgent electrical faults without fire, contact Red Elec for emergency electrician support in Runcorn.

EICR Certificates Runcorn

Red Elec provides EICR certificates and electrical safety inspections for landlords, homeowners and businesses in Runcorn.

An EICR, also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report, checks the condition of the fixed electrical installation in a property. This includes the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits and protective devices.

EICRs are especially important for landlords, as rental properties in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years.

We can help with:

  • Landlord EICR certificates in Runcorn
  • Domestic electrical safety checks
  • Commercial electrical inspections
  • Rental property electrical certificates
  • Remedial work after failed EICRs
  • Fault finding and repairs
  • Consumer unit checks and upgrades

If your EICR is marked unsatisfactory, we can explain the findings clearly and advise on the remedial work needed.

Consumer Unit Upgrades Runcorn

Your consumer unit, often called a fuse box or fuse board, protects the electrical circuits in your home or business.

If your fuse box is old, damaged, regularly tripping or has no modern RCD protection, it may be time to consider a consumer unit upgrade.

Red Elec can help with:

  • Consumer unit upgrades in Runcorn
  • Fuse box replacement
  • Fuse board replacement
  • RCD and RCBO protection
  • Surge protection advice
  • Testing before and after installation
  • Electrical certification
  • Upgrades after failed EICRs
  • Consumer unit checks after faults

A modern consumer unit can improve safety, make fault finding easier and help support new circuits for renovations, EV chargers, kitchens, bathrooms and extensions.

Electrical Fault Finding Runcorn

Electrical faults can be frustrating and sometimes dangerous. If your electrics keep tripping, lights flicker, sockets stop working or part of your property loses power, Red Elec can help find the cause.

We provide electrical fault finding in Runcorn for homes, landlords and businesses.

Common faults we investigate include:

  • RCDs or breakers tripping
  • Fuse boxes that will not reset
  • Flickering lights
  • Faulty sockets
  • Warm or buzzing switches
  • Outdoor electrics not working
  • Shower or cooker circuit faults
  • Intermittent electrical faults
  • Faults found during an EICR

We use professional testing equipment to trace the issue safely, then explain the repair options clearly.

House Rewiring Runcorn

If your property has old wiring, repeated faults, an outdated fuse box or unsafe electrical circuits, a full or partial rewire may be needed.

Red Elec provides house rewiring in Runcorn for homeowners, landlords, property developers and renovation projects.

We can help with:

  • Full house rewires
  • Partial house rewires
  • Rewiring for renovations
  • Rewiring for extensions
  • Kitchen and bathroom rewiring
  • Socket and lighting upgrades
  • Old wiring replacement
  • Consumer unit upgrades
  • Testing and certification

A rewire is also a good time to improve the layout of your electrics, add more sockets, upgrade lighting and prepare the property for modern electrical demand.

Phil Burrows, Runcorn

We needed some outdoor lighting to be fitted to the front, side and back of our house. This is because dark nights are coming early and getting my car up the driveway in the pitch black is quite hard, even with the headlights on full. The lights are just there to pick up my car when it moves into the driveway so they can light-up the way into my garage (at the back of our back garden). Because it’s only my wife who is in the house during the day and she doesn’t have any electrical knowledge, I had to look for an electrician. A friend who I work with told me about Red Elec (as they had done something previously for him) so I gave them a call whilst I was in work and I let the wife know. They came around and sorted it pretty quickly and by the time I was home I had working side lights on my home. Not only will the let me see where I’m going, but they’ll scare off any kids trying to see what they can get from my shed. Thanks Red Elec, I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to have outdoor lighting fitted on their home.

Kristian Smith, Runcorn

My business had a break in the other night and they took very important things for my company, desktops, a laptop and trophies. I was very angry and upset about this as my business is quite a small one and something like this could set me back a fair bit. I got into touch with Red Elec after my mate told me about them. They came round and did a security review of the place and told me that I should have CCTV set up on the perimeters of the building and motion detectors and alarms fitted on the inside along with a very tough door to get through the leads to the main office room (where I keep my important stuff and valuables). They fitted all the necessary equipment and it didn’t cost much at all, they were done within an hour or two and now I have an impenetrable fortress as an office! I would recommend these guys to anyone!

Tommy Vinten, Runcorn

Our home needed re-wiring because, we lived in the home for over 30 years and we never once had it done. I heard it is unsafe to keep the same electrical wiring in your home for very long periods of time (10-15 years+) so I obviously had to find an electrician. I found Red Elec through Google and contacted them, they came out the very next day (upon my request as they were going to come out that very day, but I was busy) and they started cracking on with it, the team were very nice, respectful and knew what they were doing, within a day or two my house was completely re-wired and they even cleaned up after themselves when they were done! 5/5 would recommend to any friend, relative and even neighbours.
