Electricians Preston

Living in one of Preston’s classic Californian Bungalows or post-war brick veneer homes brings unique character and charm, but it often comes with the worry of outdated electrical systems that struggle to meet modern demands. That’s where our expert Preston electricians can help, providing extensive electrical services that keep your home safe while preserving its distinctive character.

Making sure that your electrical system is safe and reliable isn’t just a convenience, it’s a necessity. Whether you’re dealing with an old ceramic fuse box that trips constantly, planning a renovation, or looking to future-proof your home with smart technology, Day & Night Electrical delivers the industry experience and round-the-clock availability Preston residents trust.

Common Electrical Challenges in Preston Homes

Preston’s diverse housing stock, from weatherboard cottages near Preston Market to modern townhouses along High Street, presents unique electrical challenges that require local insight and understanding.

Ageing Electrical Infrastructure

Many Preston homes built before 1980 still rely on original electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s high-demand appliances. These older systems often feature:

  • Ceramic fuse boxes that trip frequently when running multiple appliances.
  • Outdated wiring that poses potential fire risks.
  • Insufficient power points forcing dangerous daisy-chaining of power boards.
  • Old switchboards unable to support modern safety switches.

Our electricians in Preston specialise in upgrading these systems while respecting your home’s original character, providing safety without compromising aesthetics.

Meeting Modern Power Demands

Today’s Preston families need electrical systems that can handle everything from high-draw kitchen appliances like air fryers and induction cooktops to home offices with multiple devices. The strain that summer heatwaves put on old switchboards in brick veneer homes due to high air conditioner usage can lead to dangerous overloading and unexpected power failures.

[Give us a call 1300 138 332] to discuss how we can upgrade your electrical system to meet your family’s modern needs safely.

  • Complete power outages.
  • Sparking outlets or switches.
