Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Basildon

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a document issued after a thorough assessment of the electrical installations on a property. EICR testing can only be performed by licensed electricians and property assessors. In an EICR test, all cables, wires, light fittings and electrical appliances are checked for faults or deterioration.

The EICR will highlight:

  • Potential fire hazards and shock risks
  • Signs of defects or deterioration in your electrical installations and accessories
  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Faulty installations due to tampering, misuse or wear and tear
  • Electrical circuits or equipment at risk of overheating or overloading

 

Work with Energy Performance Certificates and let our team swiftly and efficiently fulfil your EICR requirements for your Basildon property.

 

The Purpose of an EICR

The goal of an EICR inspection is to rule out electrical hazards that could result in fires and electric shocks. The electrician will also recommend necessary repairs and improvements to your electrical system. Keeping your electrical system in good condition reduces your energy consumption and helps you save money on electricity bills.

EICR assessments are a series of tests namely Dead Testing, Live Testing, Visual Inspection and RCD Testing. During the test, we will ensure:

  • Bonding and earthing are adequate
  • Existing or potential defects are resolved
  • All outlets, wires, sockets, switches and electrical fittings are performing well
  • There is no damage or wear that could compromise the safety of occupants
  • All necessary identification and notices are on hand
  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)

Information in the EICR

An electrical installation condition report will include the following details:

  • Age and status of the property
  • Changes to the property that may result in defective electrical work
  • Details about the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed descriptions of the electrical installations
  • Extent and nature of existing damage or wear
  • List of all tests conducted and their results
  • Signature of the inspector

EICR Classification Codes

Electricians use the following codes to rate electrical issues based on severity.

  1. C1 or Danger Present.– Represents an immediate threat to the health and safety of anyone who comes into contact with the installation. Remedial work must be performed right away.
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous– A potentially dangerous defect exists and necessary repairs must be carried out in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended–A non-compliance is detected but does not warrant immediate or possible danger. However, taking preventive steps now can greatly improve electrical safety.

Domestic EICRs are issued every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. However, older or damaged electrical systems may need more frequent testing.

 

The Cost of an EICR

EICR pricing varies depending on the following factors:

  • Location
  • Size and age of the property
  • Extent of testing required
