Electrical testing
Just like your car MOT - It is important, at regular intervals, that you ensure you carry out the necessary checks on the condition of the electrics in your home. Over a period of time, all electrical installations will naturally deteriorate.
This will help to identify if there are any faults or defects which could require improvement. And will ensure the safe operation of the installation going forward.
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
An EICR certificate will highlight any defects in the electrical installation on your premises . Including inadequate short circuit protection, damaged/outdated wiring, and faulty connections which may give rise to danger, along with observations for which improvement is recommended.
As a homeowner or homebuyer, you want the peace of mind that the electrics in your home are safe. Similarly, landlords with an awareness of their electrical safety obligations, undertake regular periodic inspections before any tenancy begins to produce a landlord electrical safety cerificate, and each installation must be tested and inspected every five years.
How We Conduct EICR Testing
We will need access to all of the rooms in your premises and everything unplugged. The report will typically take around 2-3 hours to complete, depending on the size of your property.
