EICR Coventry

The EICR Process

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) evaluates the overall condition of your property’s electrical system. It is produced following an in-depth survey of all cords, cables, wires, sockets, lighting, fuse boards, and electrical fixtures in your home or commercial facility. During the inspection, a registered electrician will check for signs of damage and deterioration and rectify any issues. All identified remedial work will be graded based on importance: 

  1. Danger Present. There is a risk of injury and remedial action must be taken without delay.
  2. Potentially Dangerous – There is no immediate threat, but may progress into a hazard in the future. As such, urgent remedial action must be done to eliminate potential danger.
  3. Improvement Recommended – A non-compliance has been detected. While it does not carry immediate or potential danger, carrying out the appropriate remedial work would lead to a safety improvement.

What Happens During a Periodic Inspection?

During an electrical safety check, your competent electrician will take into account the age and circumstances of the installation. They will also fix crucial issues in your electrical work such as: 

  • Inadequacy in earthing and bonding
  • Signs of overheating
  • Overloaded circuits and appliances
  • Serviceability of wires, cords, plugs, switches, and sockets
  • Suitability of switchgear and controls
  • Type of wiring and its condition
  • The presence of adequate notices and identification
  • Any signs of damage, wear and tear, and/or deterioration

 

Who can produce an EICR?

Periodic inspections can be complex and dangerous especially when they involve damaged installations. Licensed electricians understand the potential dangers that come with electrical work and have all the skills needed to complete the inspection in a safe and efficient manner. 

By working with our professional electricians, you’re not just paying for quality, but also peace of mind.  

 

How to get an EICR?

An electrical safety report will be made available after a thorough inspection and testing of your electrical system. EICRs with C1 and C2 observations will be rated unsatisfactory and immediate remedial work will be required.

 

How much does an EICR cost?

Our rates depend on the age, location and size of the property as well as the extent of testing needed. We value upfront pricing, so trust that you’ll never encounter hidden fees when you work with us.
