🔥 Burnt Out Meter Tails — Emergency Call-Out Completed! 🔥
Today we attended a property where the customer reported a burning smell near the fuse board. After inspection, we found the meter tails had overheated and burnt out, posing a very real fire risk. Luckily, we were able to isolate the supply, replace the damaged tails and secure everything safely.
Signs of overheated or failing meter tails include:
⚠️ Burning smell near consumer unit
⚠️ Warm cables or meter area
⚠️ Lights flickering when high-load appliances run
⚠️ Tripped circuits for no clear reason
Electrical faults can escalate quickly — if you notice anything unusual, don’t wait. Safety always comes first.
