⭐Not only keeping your Electrical infrastructure safe⭐

We always love receiving positive feedback about the service we provide to our clients. However, it's especially rewarding to hear when our colleagues are recognised for going above and beyond outside of their day-to-day roles.
A huge shout out to our Fixed Electrical Inspectors, Nicky and Ryan, who stopped to help a member of the public experiencing car trouble. Their kindness and willingness to lend a hand certainly didn't go unnoticed.

Well done, Nicky and Ryan! 👏

🛡️ At Guardian, quality, accuracy and customer service will always be driven by our people. 👥

While we continue to invest in innovative technologies, we see AI as a tool that helps our teams work more efficiently, not as a replacement for the expertise, judgement and care our specialists bring to every project.

Working alongside our own Michael Booler, Version 1, explored how AI could support some of our administrative and reporting processes, helping us manage large volumes of thermal imagery more quickly and consistently. This has enabled our team to spend less time on repetitive back-office tasks and more time focusing on what matters most: delivering exceptional service and valuable insights to our customers. 😁

Technology can help us work smarter, but it is our people who interpret results, make critical decisions, ensure compliance, and maintain the high standards Guardian is known for.
As the electrical compliance industry continues to evolve, we'll continue to embrace innovation where it adds value, while keeping human expertise at the heart of everything we do.

🫣Friday’s Find – Exposed Copper⚡

😁Happy Friday people! Who doesn’t love a 4-day week! More importantly though, check out this weeks’ latest find!

🕵🏻This weeks’ discovery comes from Guardians’ Fixed Inspector, Kirsten Yates, who identified the following find whilst carrying out a full site inspection and test. The pictured wires were found with exposed, live copper at the terminations of the miniature circuit breaker!

⚠️Thankfully for Kirsten no harm was caused because of this, however this could have potentially resulted in an electric shock or arc flash to somebody working on the board who wasn’t aware of its presence.

📜Regulation 416.2.1 also states that; ‘Live parts shall be inside enclosures or behind barriers providing at least the degree of protection IPXXB or IP2X’.

👷🏻‍♂️Tech Tuesday – The Significance of Fixed Wiring Inspection and Testing⚠️

⚡Fixed Wire Inspection, also known as Fixed Wire Testing, is a process that inspects and tests all electrical installations on-site to ensure they are safe and compliant with regulations. This includes main panels and distribution boards but excludes any equipment connected via plugs.

🔍The inspection consists of both detailed visual checks and electrical testing of all fixed systems throughout the building. During the inspection, circuits are required to be isolated for a short period of time while testing takes place.

✅All electrical installations must meet the wiring regulations laid out by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and British Standard BS 76711. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which cover electrical safety testing, places responsibility on the employer to protect the health and safety of employees and visitors to the workplace. This is legally enforced by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive).

🤔Why choose Guardian Electrical to carry out your Fixed Wire Inspection and Testing on-site?

✔️Unrivalled customer service you can rely on.

✔ Highly qualified, knowledgeable engineers operating nationwide.

✔ Complimentary edits and updates through TraQ-it, our interactive online platform.

✔ Complete control of your records directly on-site.

✔ Instant, real-time access to up-to-date documentation via TraQ-it.

🤗Guardian Electrical supports you through every stage of the on-site electrical process following the completion of Fixed Wire Inspection and Testing. Our services include Remedial Action, EET, Thermographic Surveys, Panel Risk Assessments, and more.

☀️🔌LATEST: Plug-In Solar Panels – What do you need to know?🤔💭

🔧For those who may not be aware, Plug-in Photovoltaic solar panels – easier known as ‘balcony-solar’, are now available to buy & self-install in the UK.

🤓Although this may be able to save you a few quid on energy bills, here’s what you’ll need to know beforehand if you are thinking of purchasing one!
What better way to celebrate this weekend’s rain then with the release of the brand-new plug-in solar panels eh!

1️⃣Just because it’s a ‘plug in’, doesn’t mean no safety checks are required! Please seek advice from a competent electrician before purchasing, to ensure your house is safe to operate a panel.

2️⃣There is currently a limit of only one plug-in solar system up to 800W per household. Panel kits may be supplied with either one or two solar panels, each of which will have a certain Wattage. Provided the power emitted through the micro-inverter doesn’t exceed 800W, then your system is permitted.

3️⃣Never connect plug-in solar panels to Extension leads, cable reels, multiway adapters, travel adapters, RCD adapters, Lightning circuits or circuits supplying fixed equipment.

4️⃣You must notify your local distribution network operator when installing electricity generation, storage or connecting equipment such as Plug-in solar panels, EVSE charge points or heat pumps.

🧑🏻‍💻Further information regarding the safety of Plug-In Solar Panels, RCD’s, RCBO’s and much more can be found via the online guide here, provided by Electrical Safety First; https://lnkd.in/eUw93fzB

🌧️Rain, Rain, Disappear, the Guardian gang wants tapas and beer🥘🍻

A poem by the Guardian Marketing Team (the gift that keeps on giving).

After months of sun and glorious heat,
The rain obviously came when it was our time to meet.

The wet UK weather could never deter us,
Smiles on our faces as we packed out the buses.

Time for fun, featuring laughter and cheer,
And even fitting in, the odd cheeky beer.

Time at these events passes by so fast,
Next thing you know, your next drink is your last.

Raising a toast to those who work hard,
Reward for our service, better than any well-done card.

🔍Friday’s Find – Deadly DB🔥

👀This weeks’ find has been brought to you by Guardians very own fixed inspector, Nicky Foster & Jordan Wright who discovered this deadly DB whilst conducting a site inspection.

😱As can be seen below, this specific find was found with serious burns due to a maximum thermal reading of 280 degrees!! Thankfully for this client, Nicky & Jordan had identified this major risk before any further deadly consequences could take place.

⚠️If that wasn’t bad enough, the DB was arching & flashing upon removal of the cover and resultantly was immediately isolated. Just another example of our inspectors’ daily finds…

📜BS 7671 Regulation 521.10.202 states: “Wiring systems shall be supported such that they will not be liable to premature collapse in the event of a fire.”

🤔Feel as though your site could do with a thorough inspection? Get in touch with us today!
