Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Cambridge

An EICR or an Electrical Installation Condition Report is a document provided by a licensed electrician or engineer after a thorough inspection of a property’s electrical installation. In it are details regarding said installation that are useful for both commercial and residential properties. The process of testing follows the recommendations of the National Safety Standards.

An EICR inspection offers the following features.

  • It can determine any lack of earthing or bonding.
  • It can pinpoint issues with any DIY electrical work.
  • It can show which parts of the circuits are overloaded.
  • It can identify potential fire and electrical hazards in a property’s electrical installations.

Why Get an EICR?



Safety


The most important reason to have an EICR inspection conducted on a property is safety.

Over time, electrical installations on a property will begin to show signs of ageing. Small issues may arise from deterioration and wear and tear. These issues, though small, may grow into more complicated ones that can be difficult and particularly costly to deal with. They may even develop into dangerous problems.

Regular EICR inspections will pinpoint these issues long before they cause bigger problems. Then, they can be dealt with in an efficient and timely manner. The inspector will provide detailed recommendations on how to make electrical installations safer.

Energy Efficiency

Some property owners also use EICR inspections to make sure their electrical installations are running at their most efficient. The report will also contain recommendations by the inspector on how to improve the power efficiency of the electrical system. Not only will these recommendations drive down the cost of electricity for a property, they will also be helpful to the environment. This is especially attractive to businesses that have expensive monthly power bills.

Regulations

There are cases where regular EICR inspections are required. For landlords, they need to provide their existing tenants with satisfactory EICRs at least once every five years. They also need to provide reports for incoming tenants before they move in. This is part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government’s campaign for safer dwelling areas.
