Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Eastbourne

An EICR or an Electrical Installation Condition Report is an official document prepared by a licensed electrician or engineer after they have carefully inspected a property’s electrical installation. This document can be required for both commercial and residential properties.

At Energy Performance Certificates, we make sure to follow the National Safety Standards in all of our testing work.

Here are a few of the valuable features EICR tests offer:

  • It identifies whether there are any issues with DIY work done in the electrical system in the past.
  • It shows whether there are overloaded parts of the electrical installation.
  • It determines safety hazards that may cause fires or other risks.
  • It tests whether there is a lack of bonding or earthing.

Why Get an EICR?

Safety

The main purpose of EICR inspections is to maintain the safety of electrical installations as they age.

Over the years, components in the electrical system become increasingly susceptible to wear, damage, and inefficient operation. Seemingly small issues, if left unaddressed, can easily turn into more complex problems that will likely take a lot of time, money, and effort to fix. In some cases, they even pose dangers.

To keep everyone on the property safe, regular EICR inspections are encouraged, sometimes even required. Identifying and resolving small issues in a timely manner will keep your systems safe for years to come. Get tested and follow the safety recommendations detailed in the report.

 

Energy Efficiency

Aside from safety, the energy efficiency of your electrical systems is also a top priority and an issue that’s addressed using EICR testing. Along with safety recommendations, reports also note what can be done to improve the efficiency of the installation.

This is important for both residential and commercial properties since they drive the power costs down. They also promote energy conservation and sustainability in general. For businesses and owners of multiple properties, this benefit is not only attractive but essential.

 

Regulations

Some properties require the owners to book regular EICR checks. Landlords, for example, are now required by regulations to provide their incoming and existing tenants with EICRs that have satisfactory ratings at least once every five years.

This is a crucial part of the push by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government to ensure safer dwellings. Depending on the property type, you may also need regular EICR inspections.
