Moving into a new home in London? Whether it\u2019s a new build or a renovation project, it\u2019s vital to ensure your heating and electrical systems are safe, efficient, and legally compliant. At Hippo Heating and Electric Services<\/strong>, we\u2019ve created a practical checklist to help new homeowners stay ahead of common issues and avoid unexpected costs.<\/p>\n Make sure your electrical system is safe with a certified EICR. This identifies hazards and ensures your wiring and sockets meet safety standards.<\/p>\n Older fuse boards may lack modern protection. We recommend an upgrade to a consumer unit with RCD<\/strong> and surge protection.<\/p>\n All alarms should be functional and positioned correctly, especially in kitchens, hallways, and sleeping areas.<\/p>\n Schedule a boiler service to ensure it\u2019s running efficiently and safely. Ask for a Gas Safety Certificate<\/strong> if you’re unsure.<\/p>\n Properly insulated homes reduce energy bills. Bleed radiators, inspect thermostats, and check the controls.<\/p>\n We help homeowners across Greater London, West London,<\/strong> and surrounding areas with inspections, upgrades, and installations. Our engineers are certified, friendly, and always happy to explain everything in plain language.<\/p>\n
