2) Process for Extra Sockets 

When looking at having Extra Sockets added in your commercial space EMC Electrical Group will primarily evaluate your existing electrical circuits in order to determine the best way to install them. This includes whether potentially we may add a spur from an existing circuit or need to add a new circuit all together.

3) What Extra Sockets added can do for your commercial premises

Your commercial business may benefit from Extra Sockets Added in order to accommodate the growing number of devices used by employees and visitors to your site. With technology ever evolving electrical items in a commercial business are increasing too. Below are some examples of just a couple of commercial businesses and the varying electrical equipment they may have: -

Office – computers, telephones, copiers, printers, shredders, franking machines, televisions and projection equipment etc 

Shop – point of sale system, card terminal, back-office equipment, portable lighting, and a music system etc.

Your commercial business may also be looking at changing their layout or adding new equipment therefore the different locations and avoidance of overloading will ensure your are kept safe. 

4) Why having Extra Sockets added is safer

EMC Electrical Group can confirm Extra Sockets Added is a much safer option for you and your commercial premises as extension leads can become a fire risk when not used carefully and within their rated capacity. By plugging in too many high-powered appliances it can cause them to exceed their capacity which leads to wires overheating and potentially igniting items close by. Further to this should the extension lead be worn, damaged or frayed it can expose the live wires causing electrical shocks. EMC Electrical Group have even witnessed what is referred to in the trade as “daisy-chaining”. This is where customers have plugged one extension lead into another increasing the risk of them overheating and causing a fire. When laid on floors extension leads can become a tripping hazard especially in high traffic areas like those in a commercial business. 

So avoid all of the above and choose the smart way by having Extra Sockets Added. 

5) Regulations for Adding Extra Sockets 

Extra Sockets Added to your Bristol, South Wales or Southwest business premises will need to comply primarily with the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989).
