The Christmas season is a time celebration, but it’s also a time to remain cautious when it comes to electrical safety. At West Coast Electrical, we know that electrical emergencies can happen at any time, even during the holidays. That’s why we’re committed to being available for our customers in Blackpool and surrounding areas throughout the Christmas period.
Christmas Working Hours and Emergency Electrician Services
Our last day of planned work before the holiday break is Friday 20th December, and we will return to normal operations in the New Year. However, we know that emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, so we’ll still be offering emergency call-outs and remote troubleshooting during this period.
The quickest way to reach us for emergency assistance over the festive season is via WhatsApp on 01253 366095. This allows us to respond promptly to your situation, assess the problem, and provide guidance.
For non-urgent issues, we can often help remotely. Many problems can be resolved without the need for a visit, saving you both time and money. If your issue isn’t an emergency, we’re happy to guide you step-by-step, ensuring you stay safe while addressing the problem.

Electrical Safety in Blackpool at Christmas
With all the additional lights, decorations and electrical gadgets in use, Christmas can put extra pressure on your electrical system. Here are some tips to stay safe this holiday season:
- Avoid Overloading Extension Leads: Spread your electrical load across multiple sockets. Overloading can lead to overheating and fires.
- Inspect Your Lights: Check your Christmas lights for frayed wires or damaged plugs before use, and make sure they are suitable for indoor or outdoor use as needed.
- Turn Off When Not in Use: Always turn off lights and decorations before going to bed or leaving the house.
- Watch for Warning Signs: Flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or a tripping circuit breaker could indicate a problem. Contact us immediately if you notice any of these.
If you’re unsure about the safety of your setup, it’s better to ask for advice than take unnecessary risks.
Wishing You a Safe and Happy Christmas
From everyone at West Coast Electrical, we wish you and your family a happy, safe, and electrically secure Christmas. Thank you for a fantastic year, and we can’t wait to continue serving you in 2025!
