Electricians in Coventry: Renters vs homeowners
Homeowners
If you own your home, you’re responsible for electrical repairs and upgrades. Some jobs (like installing new circuits) must meet Part P of Building Regulations. A certified electrician will issue paperwork – keep this safe for when you sell your property.
Renters
If you rent in Coventry, your landlord must keep the electrics safe and provide an EICR every 5 years. Report any faults immediately. Don’t attempt DIY fixes – only qualified electricians should handle wiring, fuse boxes, or installations.
Emergency electricians in Coventry
Electrical problems don’t always wait. Call an emergency electrician in Coventry if you notice:
- A fuse box that keeps tripping
 - Sparks or burning smells near sockets
 - Exposed or damaged wiring
 - Flickering lights across your home
 - Electric shocks from appliances
 
Use Checkatrade to search for emergency electricians in Coventry available for urgent call-outs.
