Running an extension lead out through the kitchen window is not outdoor power.

Doing it properly means armoured cable buried at the right depth, an isolator you can actually reach, and weatherproof sockets rated for a British winter. Done once, it lasts decades.

What would you run off it — hot tub, workshop, or just decent lighting?

Where's the earth rod? ⚡🚗

On this EV charger installation in Bristol, we had one problem before we could continue: we couldn't locate the earth rod. The driveway had already been finished, so it's likely buried somewhere underneath.

But that raises an important question: how do you carry out an earth loop impedance test when you can't access the earth rod?

There's a way around it—and I've got a little trick to show you in this reel.

Why is earth loop impedance important for an EV charger?
It helps verify that the earthing and fault protection arrangements are suitable and that protective devices can operate correctly when needed.

What if the earth electrode can't be found?
You don't simply guess where it is. The installation needs to be assessed and tested using an appropriate method based on the earthing arrangement.

This is the bit nobody photographs.

Chasing walls for a new socket run is dusty, slow, and completely invisible the moment it's plastered over. But it's the difference between cable properly protected in the wall and cable clipped somewhere it shouldn't be.

How many sockets does your kitchen have? And how many extension leads are quietly making up the difference?

One ceiling light in the middle of the room is the worst way to light a living room.

It flattens everything and drops shadow exactly where you're sitting. Layered lighting — a couple of circuits, dimmable, lit where you actually use the room — costs less than most people expect and changes the room completely.

How many light switches does your living room have? One is a bad sign.

It’s what you don’t see that makes all the difference... and heat! Thermal imaging shows the invisible comfort of a fully functioning electric underfloor heating system. Using high-tech diagnostic tools ensures every mat and cable is heating evenly across your bathroom floor.

Cold showers belong in gym challenges, not your morning routine.

An electric shower pulls more current than almost anything else in the house. That means a dedicated circuit, the right cable size and RCD protection — not a spur off the nearest socket, which is what we still find more often than we'd like.

Has yours been running cold halfway through, or losing pressure? That's usually the first sign.

People always ask me, “What is the best EV charger?” ⚡🚗

That’s exactly what we’re looking at on this job. But before choosing the charger, there’s something equally important to consider: where and how it’s going to be installed.

This wall presents a bit of a challenge because we need to get the cable where it needs to go without causing unnecessary damage to the property.

A good EV charger installation isn't just about mounting the unit and connecting the cable. It's about planning the route, understanding the building, and finding the safest and cleanest way to get the job done.

What makes a good EV charger installation?
It isn't just the charger itself. The installation, cable route, protection, and suitability of the existing electrical system all matter.

If you're in Bristol or the surrounding areas and thinking about getting an EV charger installed, contact Live Line Electrical.

Old storage heaters are the most expensive way to heat a room in Britain.

They charge overnight on cheap rate, then leak most of it out by mid-afternoon — so you're cold in the evening when you actually want the heat, and you've paid for the privilege.

This one came out. A modern high-efficiency unit went in.

Still running storage heaters? What did last winter's electric bill look like?

If a breaker tripped right now, would you know which one to reset?

Most people wouldn't, because most boards were never labelled properly in the first place. Testing and labelling every circuit is the last hour of every job we do — and it's the hour that saves you standing in the dark with a phone torch.

Go and look at your board. Labelled, or guesswork?

Solving it one cable at a time.

There’s nothing more satisfying than taking a complex board setup and turning it into a neat, safe installation you can trust.
