Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Chichester

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is supplied by an electrician following an inspection of your property’s electrical work. During an EICR assessment, all outlets, wires, cables, lighting and electrical appliances are inspected for defects or deterioration. At Energy Performance Certificates, we issue swift and precise EICRs for properties in Chichester.

Failure to resolve electrical issues immediately can lead to more severe issues in the long run. With our help, you can rest assured that your electrics are compliant and safe to use. 

The EICR will:

  • Highlight existing damage or deterioration in your electrical installations
  • Identify potential sources of electrical fires and shocks
  • Determine electrical circuits or equipment in danger of overheating or overloading
  • Indicate inadequacy in earthing or bonding
  • Highlight electrical defects due to misuse, tampering, or wear and tear

 

Performing electrical safety checks are best left to professionals. Work with our team and ensure your electrical work is in capable hands.

 

What is Covered in the EICR?

EICR inspections are performed to pinpoint and resolve existing and/or potential electrical hazards on your property. Maintaining your electrical system in top shape is one way to reduce your energy usage and benefit from higher cost savings.

During the inspection, electrical installations undergo Visual Inspection, RCD Testing, Dead Testing and Live Testing. A certified electrician or approved contractor analyses the following:

  • Performance of all wires, outlets, sockets, switches, light fittings, and appliances
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of crucial identification and notices
  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Structural changes to the property that may cause electrical hazards

Information in the EICR

An EICR will contain the following information:

  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Age and status of the property
  • Time and date of inspection
  • Extent of damage and/or deterioration
  • List of all tests performed and their results
  • Issues identified by the inspector
  • Signature of the inspector

EICR Classification Codes

All faults or issues will be rated by the electrician using the following codes:

  1. C1 or Danger Present. – The safety of those using the installation is at risk and immediate corrective action is required.
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous – A possible risk exists, and remedial action must be carried out in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended – A non-compliance with present safety standards is revealed. While it does not pose immediate or potential danger, taking remedial action can result in significant safety improvement.

EICRs for residential buildings are performed every 10 years or whenever there is a change of occupancy. For properties with older or faulty electrical systems, more frequent testing may be required.

 

EICR Pricing

The cost of an EICR test varies depending on:

  • Location
