Insight from COGNEWS sponsor Charlesworth Energy

While most of us are content to upkeep our homes to avoid large expenses and service interruptions, many people don't realise that problems with our electrical systems can be prevented by performing two simple checks, local electrical expert Bernie Charlesworth informed COGNEWS.
There are two areas which cause the most issues: firstly, an out-of-date consumer box. This is where components and even the board itself are no longer up to code. A quick check on the date sticker is usually enough to ensure your electrical control center is fit for use. If it's out of date, do get an electrician in to update it for you, says Bernie. Consumer boxes were traditionally under the stairs, but in more modern properties, they are located on the outside of the building. Charlesworth Energy, Bernie's company, is happy to help homeowners and landlords with these checks and carry out any simple updates and repairs needed to keep the lights on and families safe.

The other significant problem is the lack of sockets. As the demand for gadget power in our homes continues to grow, we frequently rely on extension cables to meet our smart home or entertainment needs, Bernie explained. Overloading these devices can lead to fire or trip hazards, and with shorter daylight hours, the last thing we need is to be left in darkness searching for an emergency electrician and a flashlight. This issue is especially noticeable in older property bedrooms, where only one socket may be available. Charlesworth Energy can install new sockets in the appropriate locations and test them afterward for complete peace of mind.

If you have concerns about the issues raised or any others, you can contact Bernie directly for advice at 07519297470 or via email at bernardcharlesworth@tiscali.co.uk. Charlesworth's rates are competitive, quotes are always given first, and a written 2-year workmanship guarantee is always provided.
An advantage of using a local company like Charlesworth Energy is that if you have an electrical problem, a local technician is more likely to be only a few miles away. Charlesworth concentrates their business in Cheadle and the surrounding villages, which means that they can be fixing the problem
the same day.

We inquired with Bernie about why the company is named Charlesworth Energy instead of Charlesworth Electrics. "That's a good question," Bernie smiles. "As an enthusiastic environmentalist, it's crucial to me that as many people as possible can lower their energy consumption without it being more expensive or complicated than necessary. Our business also focuses on installing electric car chargers and solar panels, not just as a standard package, but tailored to best suit the customer's needs and budget." Again, if you would like to reduce your energy consumption, Bernie is happy to discuss those possibilities with you.
