Risks of UV Damage to Electrical Cabling

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can weaken and degrade the insulation of electrical cables, eventually exposing the inner copper wires. This exposure not only poses serious electrocution risks but can also lead to electrical shortages and fires. Understanding these risks is crucial, especially when defect notices indicate UV damage. Our proactive approach focuses on the following key areas to mitigate these risks:

  • Early Detection and Repair
    We prioritise the detection of UV damage signs before they escalate into major safety hazards. By implementing regular and thorough inspections, we can identify and address any UV-related degradation as soon as it starts.
  • Material Advancements
    We use cutting-edge materials that incorporate the latest in UV-resilient technologies, such as enhanced PVC with carbon black and titanium dioxide, to significantly extend the life and safety of your electrical installations.
  • Education and Prevention
    Educating our clients on the risks and signs of UV damage forms a critical part of our service. We provide guidance on how to visually inspect and recognise the signs of UV damage to cables and electrical systems, empowering homeowners to act swiftly.
  • Metering Services
    Installing, testing, and repairing meters that measure how much electricity is used at a property. This service is crucial for both residential and commercial properties to ensure accurate billing and monitoring of electricity usage.
  • Emergency Services
    Responding to emergencies such as power outages or electrical faults, often available 24/7 to restore safety and functionality to your property quickly.

Our commitment at High Demand Electrical is not just to repair but to educate and prevent. By understanding the full spectrum of UV damage risks, you can better protect your property and ensure the longevity and reliability of your electrical systems.

Advanced Repair Techniques

We utilise UV-resistant materials such as PVC enriched with carbon black and titanium dioxide to fortify cable insulation and prevent future damage. Carbon black absorbs UV rays, preserving the integrity of the polymer structure of the cables, while titanium dioxide serves as a resilient barrier against UV degradation.

Our routine checks are designed to catch issues early, preventing the progression of damage and helping to maintain the overall health of your electrical infrastructure.

Custom UV Protection Solutions

Depending on your specific needs, we offer tailored solutions, including the installation of UV-protective covers and the application of UV-resistant coatings to exposed cables and components. These customised interventions are crucial for areas particularly vulnerable to UV exposure, providing an extra layer of protection to prolong the service life of your installations.

Why Level 2 Electricians?

Addressing UV damage to electrical cabling is not just a maintenance task—it’s a crucial safety procedure that requires the specialised skills of a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) electrician. Level 2 electricians possess advanced qualifications that go beyond those of standard electricians. These qualifications enable us to work on the network service provider's systems that connect the property to the electrical network. This includes handling live wires and making alterations at the point of attachment—tasks that are typically necessary when repairing UV damage.

Health and Safety Risks

UV-damaged cabling can often lead to the exposure of underlying copper wires, which poses severe risks. If not addressed promptly, exposed wires can result in electrical shorts, potential electrocution, and even fires. These are not just operational hazards; they are significant health risks to occupants and should be rectified immediately to ensure safety.

"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.

When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.

A pleasure to deal with, and I recommend his services. I'll be definitely calling him again with any electrical work I need done."
