EICRs in Dudley

Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Dudley

After a comprehensive inspection conducted by a certified electrician on an electrical installation in a given property, they will present an official document that details the status of the system. This document is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR.

These reports have several uses including the following:

• They identify hazards in the system that can cause fires or electric shocks.
• They reveal whether there are components in the circuit that may be overloaded.
• They highlight any lack of earthing and bonding.
• They determine whether there are issues if DIY work has been done on the system.

EICR Benefits

Since many of the components of electrical systems are hidden from view, you need the help of professionals to ensure that they are running properly. Having regular inspections will help you keep your installation safe, energy-efficient, and compliant.

• Safety
  
  This is the most important purpose of an EICR inspection because these installations are susceptible to wear and tear through years of use. As they grow old, small issues may begin to manifest themselves.
  
  If left unaddressed, these small issues can develop into bigger problems. Problems that can cost you significantly more money and time to fix.
  
  In some cases, these problems can even cause electrical shocks and even fires, harming the people in the property.
  
  With regular EICR tests, these issues can be mitigated as soon as they’re discovered.
  
  
• Energy Efficiency
  
  Many property owners also regularly have their electrical installations checked to make sure everything is running as efficiently as possible.
  
  Energy efficiency translates into real cost savings when the power bills comes. For business owners or people who manage several properties, these savings can be very valuable.
  
  Consumers also take sustainability into consideration when doing business with companies now. Having a more energy-efficient place of business can score you some points as well.
  
  
• Regulations
  
  Some time ago, the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government launched a campaign for safer dwellings. In this campaign, they included a requirement for landlords to regularly get their properties inspected.
  
  According to that requirement, landlords now need to present EICRs with satisfactory ratings to both their incoming and existing tenants at least once every five years.
  
  Other property features and factors may also require you to get regular EICR inspections. Call us at 0203 397 8220 if you’re unsure whether you need one soon.
