Do you cover the villages round Bovey Tracey, like Heathfield and Lustleigh?
We do. The emergency electrician prices on this page already include jobs in Heathfield, Lustleigh, Ilsington, Hennock, Liverton, Haytor Vale. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Bovey Tracey work, so the next slot (today) normally applies to you too.
Who looks after the cable into my house in Bovey Tracey?

How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
My trip switch keeps going off and won't reset. What should I do?
Turn every circuit breaker off, then reset the main RCD. Flick the breakers back on one at a time. The one that trips it is your problem circuit. Unplug everything on it and try again. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, it's a wiring fault and you need an electrician.
Do electricians charge more to come out on the moor near Bovey Tracey?
A little, sometimes. Bovey Tracey is on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, and homes up on the moor can be a long drive with poor phone signal. Most firms add £20 to £40 for remote spots. In town, the £135 typical price stands.
The whole street's lost power in Bovey Tracey. Who do I ring?
Call 105, free from any phone. That goes to National Grid (South West), who look after the lines in TQ13. It isn't an electrician's job if the neighbours are off too. If only your house is off, check the fuse box first, then call an electrician.

What counts as an electrical emergency?
Burning smells, scorch marks on a socket, sparking, a buzzing fuse box, water getting into lights or sockets, or no power when the neighbours have it. If it's just one circuit tripping and the rest of the house is fine, it can usually wait for a normal-hours visit, which is cheaper.
