PAT involves a series of tests and inspections to verify the safety and functionality of electrical appliances. Our comprehensive PAT service includes the following key components:
We start with a detailed visual inspection of each appliance, checking for obvious signs of damage, wear, or faults. This includes examining cables, plugs, and the appliance body for any visible issues that could compromise safety.
The earthing test ensures that the appliance has a reliable connection to the ground, preventing electric shocks. We test the continuity of the earth connection to confirm it meets safety standards, providing a crucial layer of protection.
Insulation testing checks the integrity of an appliance’s insulation to ensure there are no breakdowns or leaks. This test helps to prevent electric shocks and short circuits by verifying that the insulation can adequately contain the electrical current.
I was extremely pleased with the standard of the work carried out. All work was carried out in a timely manner, both men were polite, trustworthy and professional at all times - which is very important when you live alone. Their timekeeping was always good and they kept me informed throughout the entire job. I wouldn't hesitate in asking them to come back and work for me again and I would certainly recommend them without any hesitation.
The primary purpose of PAT is to ensure that electrical appliances are safe to use, preventing potential hazards and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
PAT helps maintain a high level of safety in your home or workplace by identifying and addressing potential risks associated with electrical appliances. Regular testing reduces the likelihood of electrical fires, shocks, and other dangerous incidents.
Early identification of faults and defects through PAT allows for timely repairs or replacements, preventing minor issues from escalating into major problems. This proactive approach helps to maintain the functionality and safety of your appliances.
For businesses and landlords, PAT is essential for complying with health and safety regulations. Regular PAT demonstrates your commitment to maintaining a safe environment for employees, tenants, and customers, helping to avoid legal penalties and ensuring peace of mind.
