Ever wondered what the difference is? Well, it involves a very simple check, but firstly what other factors should you be looking at before deciding who is a good electrician and who is a bad electrician. The answer is found right at the end of this post (in case you are wondering.) It is not easy to spot who is good and who is bad at face value. This is why I always recommend doing some digging about and researching an electrician that you feel might fit the bill for your next job. Carrying out a few basic checks can save you a lot of trouble further down the line. One of the key aspects within the business of a good electrician is responsibility. It is the over-riding element of everything an electrician does. Naturally, this includes full responsibility of each and every job taken on and for the on going life of the installation once complete. This normally takes the form of a guarantee, the length of which does vary. Here at AJOB Electrical Ltd, we put our name and reputation behind every job we take on and this is backed up by a six year warranty on all electrical work. In contrast, a bad electrician would demonstrate very little, if any responsibility, would produce sub standard, shoddy work and this work would be unlikely to carry any kind of guarantee meaning they would have no thought for the welfare of their customers and they are just in the game to make a few quid, and their attitude is likely to resemble the same should they be challenged by an unhappy customer. Furthermore, there is no come back on the job once this electrician has left. A good electrician sees the bigger picture. Tell a good electrician what job you need doing and their mind is instantly thinking, is this the best solution for the client? Can the they save money by having the job done in a different way? A bad electrician will just do the job without any thought. Looking through an electrical forum the other day which pondered a similar subject and I came across a post which summarised very well the difference between a good electrician and a bad electrician “A bad electrician finishes the job, looks at his work, isn't happy but still leaves it how it is. A good electrician finishes the job, looks at his work, and if he isn't happy changes his work until he is.” Actually, in this scenario, the bad electrician did demonstrate a good quality, and that is he looked at his work, I'm not sure many bad electricians do actually look at their work in a serious way. A good electrician will also understand the electricity regulations and how they impact on the job in hand and takes seriously the need to keep up to date with new and changing regulations. Simply doing a job because that’s the way you've always done it is not providing a great service.
Intelligent lighting systems make the Smart Home dream a reality but can equally be applied to other applications. Office, meeting and conference facilities take on a more professional image with moods for presentations and meetings. The atmosphere in bars and restaurants can be subtly changed, enhancing the customer experience with smooth fading, reducing the impact of cumbersome switching. Scene changes can be easily selected by staff or automatically from repeatable timed events. Hotel rooms have added sophistication, giving guests a little extra luxury whilst dining and public areas benefit from a more relaxing feel with scenes becoming more intimate the evening progresses. Mood lighting systems offer the user the ability to recall a scene, or mood of lighting, at the touch of a single button despite controlling multiple circuits and lamp types. Circuits are split to define zones and highlight room features and are programmed to suit the different uses of space. Scene changes incorporate fade times giving subtle lighting transitions. Advanced technologies allow control of all light fittings, including the dimming of LED's, fluorescent lighting and low voltage fittings, saving energy and increasing lamp life as lamps are dimmed. Push button systems allow two, or multi-way control and can be controlled from hand-held remotes as well as smartphones and tablets. Digital communication means system integration is easily achievable, linking lighting to audio-visual, security and home/building control systems, including control of blinds, screens and curtains. Advanced programming features allow "Master Off" control from any keypad or maybe a button to create a "Welcome Home" scene. It is possible to put your home in holiday mode, so when away it appears somebody is home, using timed events and astro dusk/dawn programming. Intelligent lighting systems are available in a number of installation options including wireless for ease of installation and retro-fit applications. More complex and new-build/refurbishment will be better suited to a wired network with a centralised rack, of possibly a hybrid system. The ability to offer wireless, wired or combined options, means AJOB Electrical Ltd can provide the best possible approach for any project. If you are considering having an intelligent lighting system, or any Smart Home system installed in Leeds, Wakefield or anywhere in West Yorkshire please get in touch, be it for advice or to book a free site survey.
One of the most popular and exciting electrical projects home owners contact me about is their lighting requirements. Many of my clients in Leeds have very specific ideas about how they want their room to look. One of my favourite aspects of being an NICEIC Approved Contractor is helping my clients achieve their dream of perfect lighting in their home. As a registered electrician and lighting installer in Leeds, it is my job to ensure that each customer is left with an optimum lighting system both inside and outside their home that they're 100% happy with. Lighting installation carried out correctly will transform your home and there is never a better time to do this than following a house rewire or room redecoration. When planning a lighting project it is best to leave it to a qualified electrician. They will know what bulbs (lamps) will be needed to achieve the desired effect and how many lamps will be required. You will also have the lighting installed to current 17th edition regulations, so using a qualified electrician to carry out this work is a worthy investment. They will also have access to the highest quality and safest lighting available on the market today. Please do not be tempted by cheaper lighting found elsewhere - the end results are often disappointing with inferior light quality and light fittings that need replacing on a regular basis. Interior lighting is generally trouble free, one of the more challenging aspects of lighting design in Leeds is outdoor lighting. I have seen outdoor lighting poorly designed to the point where it shines in through neighbouring windows or is triggered by traffic or passing pedestrians. In extreme cases neighbours have taken others to court over intrusive lighting. I have also seen lighting which does not switch off in the day and which contain no energy saving lamps! My electrical tip when thinking about your next lighting design in Leeds is to use a qualified electrician to install your lighting - this way you will avoid any pitfalls and will stay on good terms with your neighbours. Many of my clients actually save money on their lighting design in Leeds! The most exciting aspect of lighting design is discovering what type of light fitting you are after and what will go with your interior style. I am happy to leave this aspect to you!
