How do I recognise a voltage problem?

If you have a voltage problem you may notice such signs as:


  • Lights dimming when other appliances are in use
  • TV picture not stable when other appliances are in use
  • Kettle is slow to boil
  • Electrical motors that fail to start first time

Note: These problems can also be experienced if you exceed the capacity of your electricity connection. In this case, you will need to increase the level of your supply.
