Frequently Asked Questions
Are Arctic Hayes switches and sockets suitable for UK 240v circuits?
Arctic Hayes wiring accessories are intended for standard UK installations. Always check the rating on the individual product listing and make sure it suits the circuit's load and protective device.
How do I choose between different switch and socket options?
Start with the function, such as lighting control or general power. Then check the gang count, the back-box size you have, and the finish. Matching these to the existing wiring and decor will narrow the choice quickly.
Can I replace a socket or switch myself?
Like-for-like replacement may be within the capability of a competent person, provided the circuit is isolated and proved dead first. New circuits and work in special locations such as bathrooms are generally notifiable and should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Follow HSE guidance on safe isolation.
What should I check before fitting new accessories?
Inspect the cable condition and terminations, confirm the back box is deep enough, and test the circuit once the work is complete. Replace any accessory that shows signs of heat damage or discolouration, and have the cause investigated.
