What is an EICR?

According to market and consumer data analysts at Statista, the UK has seen a decline in the number of house fire fatalities. However, in just the past year alone, half a million fires were attended to by emergency services.

It has been reported that chimney fires, faulty equipment or appliances, defective fuel sources, or faulty connections to equipment or appliances caused 25% of accidental housing fires in the UK. Thus, while deaths are down, the next housing fire could still claim someone’s life.

A complete inspection of your commercial property's electrical appliances and systems must be done regularly to prevent accidents like these from happening. The inspection is typically performed by a trained engineer or electrician.

During the inspection, they will examine the components of electrical systems in homes, such as fuse boards, wirings, plugs, sockets, and switches, start to show signs of wear and tear as they get older. These problems can sometimes turn into fire or shock concerns.

However, some installations are concealed under cupboards, flooring, and walls, and are frequently overlooked during a general house inspection. An EICR entails a thorough examination of your electrical system to discover any electrical safety hazards and rectify them before it's too late.

Qualified electricians and engineers conduct extensive inspections to ensure that electrical installations are safe and functional. They document their findings in an electrical installation condition report, or EICR, after these examinations.

The report also contains recommendations for safety and efficiency.

Why do I need an EICR?

The BS7671 17th Edition Wiring Regulations propose regular EICR checks for the following:

  • Homeowners – EICRs are required for homeowners who are considering selling their home. This contributes to their home's safety. Otherwise, it is advised that households get one EICR test every ten years.
  • Employers – Since employers are responsible for their employees' safety in the workplace under the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act, it is suggested that business owners get EICR checks every five years.
  • Landlords – Before a new renter moves in, landlords must provide them with an EICR. It is also essential that landlords present satisfactory reports to current tenants once every five years.

 

How do I get an EICR?

If you own a commercial property, one of our qualified assessors will contact you within 24 hours, and if you own a house, one of our qualified assessors will contact you within 2 days after you have booked an EICR with us.

You will then be able to schedule the inspection at your convenience.

We start with a visual inspection when evaluating an electrical system. This involves evaluating for any visible evidence of damage, deterioration, or improper use, such as overloaded plug sockets or frayed wiring insulation.

We run a series of tests to ensure that all wires are properly connected, the earthing arrangement conforms with standards, and that the system is able to properly disconnect the power supply if a problem occurs.

Don't take risks with the safety of your family, employees, or tenants. Any location in Huddersfield and the nearby areas can be visited by our experienced electricians.
