Very Impressed with the professional service. Explained clearly the process and any problems encountered.
Between the school runs, work, looking after the grandkids and trying to grab a quiet cuppa — it’s easy to forget about the electrics in your home. But just like your car or boiler, your electrical system needs a bit of routine care to keep everything safe and running smoothly.
At A.M Electrics Devon Ltd, we work in homes across Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton, Teignmouth and the surrounding areas — and we often spot things that could’ve been sorted long before they became a problem.
Here are five electrical checks that are well worth ticking off your list:
1. Is Your Fuse Board Still Up to Scratch?
Your consumer unit (or fuse board) is the hub of your home’s electrical system. If it’s more than 15 years old or doesn’t have modern RCD protection, it might not trip fast enough to protect you or your family. We’ve replaced dozens of old fuse boards across
Newton Abbot and Torquay, giving homeowners peace of mind and bringing properties in line with current safety standards.
2. How Are Your Sockets and Switches Looking?
Loose or cracked sockets might seem harmless, but they can be a warning sign. If you’ve noticed a socket that feels warm, makes a buzzing sound or flickers when something’s plugged in, it’s time to get it looked at. We carry out simple, tidy repairs for families all over Paignton, Kingsteignton and Teignmouth — often in just a single visit.
3. Garden Sockets, Lights and Summer Setups
Planning more time in the garden? Outdoor electrics like garden lighting, pond pumps, or sockets for lawn tools should always be waterproof and properly protected. We install and inspect outdoor electrics across South Devon — perfect if you’re setting up
for BBQ season or finally getting that hot tub sorted.
4. Safe, Bright Loft Lighting
We’re often asked to upgrade old loft lights — the kind that flicker, hum or leave you juggling a torch in one hand and a suitcase in the other. We recommend fitting a long lasting, bright LED baton (usually a 6ft unit) to make the space usable and safe. It's one
of our most popular jobs in homes across Newton Abbot, Torquay and Paignton.
5. Thinking About an EV? You’ll Need a Charger
More and more people across South Devon are switching to electric vehicles — but charging from a 3-pin plug isn’t ideal. A dedicated EV charger is faster, safer and futureproofs your driveway. We install EV points across Newton Abbot and surrounding towns,
helping families make the most of their electric car investment.
