Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Hereford

All electrical installations deteriorate through age and constant use. At Energy Performance Certificates, we provide EICRs to protect your Hereford property against electrical hazards. Our registered electricians are fully trained to examine cables, outlets, wires, and electrical appliances for any defects and non-compliances with present-day safety standards. 

The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) will:

  • Determine possible fire hazards and shock risks in your current electrical system
  • Identify electrical circuits or appliance in danger of overloading
  • Highlight inadequacies in earthing or bonding
  • Pinpoint defective components that resulted from misuse, tampering, or wear and tear

 

Work with us and let our experienced property assessors determine whether your electrical system is in satisfactory condition.

 

What should be checked during an EICR?

EICR inspections are performed to assess whether the electrical installations in your home are safe to use and compliant with safety regulations. During the test, a licensed electrician will identify existing or potential damages and recommend appropriate corrective steps.

An EICR test involves a range of assessments including Visual Inspection, Dead Testing, Live Testing and RCD Testing. Trust our dedicated team to manage the entire process seamlessly and with minimal disruption to your daily activities.

During the inspection, a registered electrician will take note of the following issues:

  • Nature of any damage, deterioration, or dangerous conditions
  • Efficiency of outlets, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of relevant identification and notices

 

By scheduling regular electrical checks, property owners can significantly reduce their energy consumption and boost cost savings.

Information in the EICR

An EICR features the following details:

  • Vital information about the property
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed visual assessment of all electrical components
  • Extent of existing damage
  • Structural changes to the property that may trigger electrical issues
  • Breakdown of all tests performed alongside their results

EICR Classification Codes

EICR inspectors carry out visual examinations and testing on all electrical components. They use the following codes to rate detected issues: 

  1. C1Danger Present. Defective electrical work is detected, and immediate corrective action is recommended.
  2. C2Potentially Dangerous. An issue which might give rise to danger is found. Preventative steps must be performed in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 Improvement Recommended. A non-compliance is discovered but does not trigger immediate or potential danger. However, taking performing remedial action now can lead to greater electrical safety.

 

Energy Performance Certificates recommends residential premises undergo EICR testing every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. However, properties with older or damaged electrical systems may require more frequent inspections depending on the extent of the damage.

 

How Much Does an EICR Cost?

The cost of an EICR inspection varies for every property. At Energy Performance Certificates, inspections are quoted based on the following factors:

  • Location
  • Age of the property
  • Size of the property
  • Extent of testing required
