Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Carlisle

 

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is the official document prepared by the engineer or licensed electrician after conducting a thorough check on a property’s electrical installation. It contains details about the electrical systems and their condition.

This report may be a requirement for commercial and property owners both. When doing EICR inspections, we strictly adhere to the National Safety Standards.

The following are identified through an EICR inspection.

  • It determines whether there is lack of earthing or bonding.
  • It identifies safety hazards such as fire or electrocution risks.
  • It pinpoints any issues with DIY electrical work within the system.
  • It shows whether there are parts of the circuit that are overloaded.

Why Get an EICR?


Safety

The first and foremost reason for getting an EICR is to ensure the safety of a property’s electrical installation.

As time passes, the components in electrical installations deteriorate. Deterioration in performance will turn into more complex issues down the road if left undetected. By then, it would be more expensive and even dangerous to resolve the problem.

This risk can be avoided through regular EICR inspections. One of the main functions of these tests is to identify and remedy potentially dangerous situations. The report will contain a list of actionable items and how urgent they need to be carried out depending on their risk.

Energy Efficiency

Regular inspection makes sure their electrical installations are running at maximum efficiency. The report identifies areas for improvement in this regard as well and recommends solutions.

These recommendations are useful because they essentially reduce the energy consumption, therefore the energy costs of a property. They also make sure that the installation is more environmentally friendly. This is also especially attractive for owners with several properties.

Regulations

In some cases, regular EICR inspections may be a requirement for property owners. Landlords, for example, need to give their incoming and existing tenants a copy of a satisfactory report once every five years or before they move in.

This is part of the campaign by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government to make dwellings safer.
