Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Chelmsford

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) provides an overall summary of the condition of the electrics on your property. In an EICR inspection, a certified electrician will record any signs of damage, defect or deterioration which may give rise to danger and recommend appropriate corrective actions.

The EICR will check for:

  • Electric shock risks and fire hazards
  • Any damage or wear and tear in electrical fittings and appliances
  • Safety issues with bonding or earthing
  • Electrical circuits or equipment in danger of overheating or overloading

All electrical components will deteriorate over time. At Energy Performance Certificates, we provide EICRs to protect your Chelmsford property against all types of electrical risks. Scheduling regular EICR inspections will help ensure your installations are fully functional and compliant with safety regulations.

 

The Purpose of an EICR

An EICR will provide an in-depth assessment of all wires, outlets, cables, light fittings and electrical appliances on your property. Keeping electrical installations in proper working order is one way to minimise energy usage and save on electricity costs.

An EICR test will include visual inspections to spot any obvious defects or incorrect wiring, dead testing, insulation resistance and polarity, and live testing.

During the test, our team will take note of the following:

  • Existing or potential faults due to misuse, tampering, or wear and tear
  • Performance of all outlets, wires, sockets, switches, appliances and fittings
  • Any damage that could put the safety of users at risk
  • Presence of all vital identification and notices
  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)

 

EICR Chelmsford

Information in the EICR

The following information may be found on an electrical installation condition report:

  • Age, status and location of the property
  • Recent structural changes or renovations that may result in damaged electrical work
  • Details about the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed evaluations of the electrical installations
  • Extent and nature of any defects or deterioration
  • Summary of all assessments conducted and their results
  • Signature of the inspector

EICR Classification Codes

Any issues found in the system will be indicated in the report. They will also be rated in terms of severity using the following fault codes:

  1. C1 or Danger Present.– Indicates that danger exists and immediate corrective action is required.
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous– Indicates that, although an observed defect is not considered to be dangerous at the time of the inspection, it could become a real threat in the future. Remedial action must be taken in the following days or weeks.
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended–Indicates that, whilst an observed issue does not pose immediate or potential danger, improvement would make the installation safer to use.

Residential EICRs are generally issued every 10 years or when there is a change of occupancy. However, older or worn-out electrical systems may call for more frequent inspections.

 

The Cost of an EICR

EICR pricing differs for each property. The main factors that influence EICR cost are:

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