We recently completed the electrical work needed in preparation for the installation of two new air conditioning units at a domestic property in Louth.

The work included providing the necessary electrical supplies for a 2.5kW and a 3.5kW air conditioning unit, ensuring everything was ready for the systems to be installed and commissioned.

If you need electrical work to support a new system, we work across commercial, industrial and domestic properties.

PAT testing is often carried out annually, but the same testing schedule may not be appropriate for every electrical appliance or property.

How often equipment should be checked depends on how it is used and the likelihood of damage. Equipment used regularly in a busy workplace may require more frequent attention than a computer or monitor in a home office. Landlords may also have electrical appliances they provide within a rental property that need to be considered.

Formal PAT testing is only part of managing electrical equipment safely. Regular visual checks can help identify obvious problems such as damaged plugs or worn cables between scheduled inspections.

RSUK Group provides PAT testing for commercial properties, home businesses and landlords, with reporting to provide a record of the equipment checked.

If you are unsure whether your current PAT testing schedule is appropriate, speak to the RSUK Group team for advice.

Commercial lighting can remain in place for many years, but that does not always mean it is still performing as effectively as it should.

Higher running costs or increasing maintenance requirements can be signs that it is time for a review. Changes to how a building is used can also mean the existing lighting is no longer suitable.

This article looks at when a lighting upgrade may be worth considering and what businesses should assess before deciding how much of the existing system needs to change.

Learn when commercial lighting should be upgraded, including signs of outdated lighting, LED options, energy savings, controls and installation costs.

Why is fire alarm commissioning important?

Having a fire alarm system installed is only part of the process. Before it is handed over, the system also needs to be commissioned so there is confidence that it is operating as intended.

Commissioning involves carrying out the appropriate checks on the installed system and confirming that it functions correctly against the agreed requirements. This provides an important opportunity to identify anything that needs attention before the system is formally handed over.

It also gives the responsible person greater confidence that the system has been checked by someone competent to carry out that stage of the work, rather than simply assuming that an installation is ready to use because all of the equipment is in place.

RSUK Group is registered with the BAFE Fire Safety Register under the SP203-1 scheme for the commissioning and handover of fire detection and fire alarm systems, as well as their installation and maintenance.

Our registration means that our competency and working processes within these areas have been independently assessed as part of an ongoing third-party certification process.

If you require fire alarm installation, commissioning or maintenance for your premises, speak to RSUK Group.

As a BAFE Registered Organisation, our competency and processes are independently assessed to help give clients confidence that work is completed in line with recognised industry standards.

Excellent news for electric vehicle owners without a driveway!

From today (21 October 2026), drivers of fully electric vehicles will no longer need planning permission to install cross-pavement charging solutions, following changes announced by the Government.

These systems allow charging cables to run safely beneath the pavement, connecting a home charging point to a vehicle parked on the street.

The change removes one of the barriers faced by households without off-street parking, potentially saving drivers up to £300 in planning application costs and making home charging more accessible.

With home charging potentially costing as little as 2p per mile, this could make switching to an electric vehicle a more viable option for households that previously relied on public charging facilities.

Equally, if you already own an EV but have been put off installing a home charger because of the planning application process, it is worth exploring your options again.

At RSUK Group, we offer free, no-obligation site surveys to assess your property and discuss the charging solutions available to you.

Get in touch with our team to arrange your free site survey.

Outdated commercial lighting can result in higher energy bills and ongoing maintenance costs, especially where older fittings require frequent lamp replacements.

Poor or uneven lighting can also make working areas less useable and leave parts of the premises inadequately lit.

It's important for any lighting upgrades to be planned around how the premises are used rather than simply replacing existing lamps with LED alternatives. The right fittings and controls can improve lighting performance while reducing unnecessary energy use.

RSUK Group assesses existing commercial lighting and recommends solutions based on the requirements of the site, with consideration given to future maintenance and disruption during installation.

If your commercial lighting is unreliable or becoming expensive to maintain, or if it no longer meets the needs of your premises, speak to the RSUK Group team to arrange a review.

Maintenance and improvement work was carried out on an existing solar PV system to help ensure it continued to operate safely and reliably.

The work included replacing the system's communication dongle, installing additional protection above the inverter and making upgrades to the electrical installation supporting the system.

Once the work was complete, the system was checked and ready for continued use.

If your solar PV system requires testing, maintenance or repair, we work across commercial, industrial and domestic properties.

It’s always great to be invited back by an existing customer, and even better to receive feedback like this afterwards.

Steve recently returned to complete the electrical work required for an external pipe trace-heating system, with the customer particularly pleased with the standard of workmanship.

Thank you for the fantastic recommendation, and especially for the extra star!

Planning EV charging infrastructure for a business involves much more than deciding how many charging points to install.

The right approach considers who will use the chargers and how long vehicles will remain on site. It should also account for the available electrical capacity and how future demand could change.

This article explains the key planning considerations and how a phased installation can help businesses prepare for future requirements without installing every charger from the outset.

Learn how to plan business EV charging infrastructure, including charger speeds, electrical capacity, load balancing, parking layouts and future expansion.
