Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Kendal

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) verifies if the electrics in your home are functional and well-maintained. Acquiring an EICR for your Kendal property requires complete and thorough testing of the electrical installations in your property. During the test, a licensed electrician or property inspector will examine the condition of all sockets, cables, wires, lighting, and electrical appliances and suggest necessary steps to improve their performance.

The EICR will:

  • Identify damaged or deteriorating electrical components
  • Eliminate potential fire hazards and shock risks from your home
  • Determine electrical circuits or appliances at risk of overloading
  • Highlight inadequacies in earthing or bonding
  • Repair tampered, misused, or worn out installations

 

Energy Performance Certificates is the largest provider of property certificates in England. Let our property experts manage your EICR requirements with minimal disruption to your regular activities.

 

What is tested in an EICR?

EICR inspections are carried out to mitigate the risk of fires, shocks, and other electrical hazards in your building. Our trusted electricians have the relevant qualifications to perform the necessary repairs and improvements to your system. By keeping your electrical system in top shape, you get to save on energy costs and avoid expensive repairs.

During the inspection, a property inspector will perform the following tests: Visual Inspection, Dead Testing, Live Testing and RCD Testing. Detailed observations will be made on the following areas:

  • Working condition of all outlets, wires, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Signs of damage, deterioration or wear and tear
  • Presence of necessary identification and notices
  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type and health of wiring system
  • Deficiency in earthing and bonding

EICR Classification System

An electrical safety report may be rated as SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. Below is the coding system used to classify detected issues according to urgency:

  1. C1 or Danger Present.– A defective installation has been discovered and requires urgent action.
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous– A faulty installation has been detected and corrective steps must be taken in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended–A non-compliant electrical installation has been detected. It may not present immediate or possible risk, but correcting the issue earlier can result in greater safety.

 

We recommend having your residential property inspected once every 5 years or when there is a change of occupancy. More frequent EICR testing may be advised for older or faulty electrical systems.

 

How much does an EICR cost?

The cost of an EICR depends on:

  • Size of the property
  • Scope of testing required
  • Location
  • Age of the property
  • Accessibility and condition of the electrical system

 

Any repairs and replacements your electrician may recommend after the test will incur extra costs. Having an EICR performed will protect you and your family from all sorts of electrical hazards.
