Reliable Electrical Contractors Across West Wales

A Lightning Protection System (LPS) is designed to protect a structure or building and contents from damage caused by the intensely high voltage currents of a lightning strike (often exceeding a 1,000,000,000 Volt Amps). Lightning protection systems act like a Faraday Cage for buildings, protecting the building and its contents from external electric fields by migrating that energy around the cage instead of through its contents. A lightning protection system offers a lightning strike a low resistance path to ground where the enormous energy is then safely dispersed. A typical lightning protection system includes lightning rods, metal conductors and ground electrodes designed to offer a low resistance path to ground and to take any high voltage currents from a lightning strike away from the structure of the building.

NSE (Wales) LTD can offer an installation, maintenance and annual testing of lightning protection systems to BS EN 62305. The recommended test frequency for lightning protection is every 11 months.

NSE (Wales) LTD can supply and install standalone or combined emergency lighting systems such as self testing or manual testing, LED or fluorescent luminaries to BS 5266.

The main advantage of having an emergency lighting installation at your premises is that you will never be without lighting. By installing emergency lighting your business is not having to lose valued working time or money by dealing with lighting issues. Also from a health and safety point of view, if an incident does occur it is crucial that it is as easy as possible for the occupants to make their way out quickly and safely through the designated escape routes.

Electricity is dangerous and can be deadly. Electrical faults from poor workmanship or due negligence can start fires. Never risk your own or others' safety if you suspect anything is wrong, call NSE (Wales) LTD and get the problem fixed!

Fire alarms are always a key factor in adding protection to a building and the people who work or live there. Therefore, it is essential that these are tested and inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are in full working order and have no electrical faults preventing them from working correctly.

Planned and preventive maintenance for electrical installations is increasingly getting more and more important in today's work place, not only from a health and safety point of view but also economically to save energy and productivity, in the event of a breakdown.

We also offer breakdown cover for the entire electrical installation but with an efficient planned and preventive maintenance schedule in place this would drastically reduce the chances of breakdowns occurring, thus saving you time and cost.

At NSE (Wales) LTD we can provide you with the initial verification of your new electrical installation, providing we have undertaken the installation in house, or for existing electrical installations we can supply you with competitive prices for the electrical condition report. For domestic installations we would recommend an electrical condition report carried out every 5 years, or every 3 years if it is a rental property.

PAT testing (portable appliance testing) is the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. This service is essential for landlords or business owners. The Government has put regulations into place that pertain to the maintenance of electrical appliances, and the most effective way to ensure that these regulations are met is through PAT testing. The UK Health and Safety Executive, along with insurance companies, will expect you to perform PAT testing to ensure that you are compliant with certain regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989.

Solar PV

Solar PV basically senses when your solar panels are charging, and diverts the electricity generated to either your water tank (immersion heater) or your car charging unit. This system is now becoming very popular to help properties reduce the demand on the National Grid and also to reduce utility bills.

With the reduction in the feed-in tariff, it is now becoming more beneficial to use the additional energy produced.

EV Charging

We are now providing this new service to Mid and South Wales. The installation of EV chargers for domestic and commercial properties is now becoming popular and affordable. We are able to supply and install the latest EV charging solutions to help you on your eco friendly journey. Please contact us for more information.

We have recently become approved installers for EV car charging units. With the increasing demand for the use of renewable energy and being environmentally friendly, we are proud to be able to provide this service.

Alongside this we are now also offering Solar Diverter modules. This system uses PV generation to heat hot water, charge EVs and charge storage batteries.

We are approved installers for Connectix cabling systems. The Connectix Cabling System 25 Year Warranty guarantees performance for the network.

CAT 5e

Cat5e is the ideal medium for today's high speed protocols like Gigabit Ethernet that require four pair transmission at a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz.

CAT 6

Category 6 offers more than twice the bandwidth of Enhanced Category 5 and is tested up to 250 MHz. This not only provides an excellent platform for existing high speed applications, but also provides for future applications utilising high speed full duplex transport.
