Electrical Installation Condition Reports in King's Lynn

Sometimes, commercial or residential property owners are required to have their electrical installations inspected by licensed professionals. The document they receive after these inspections are called EICRs or Electrical Installation Condition Reports.

These reports detail important information about the systems’ status and what should be done to improve the issues they may have.

When conducting these tests, we at Energy Performance Certificates always make sure that we adhere to the National Safety Standards.

These reports include the following features:

• Identifying potential hazards that can cause fires or other risks in the future.
• Checking whether there is a lack of earthing and bonding.
• Determining whether parts of the electrical system are overloaded.
• If DIY work has been done, the test investigates if there are any persisting issues.

Why Get an EICR?

Safety

Safety is the number one priority of EICR inspections.

It’s normal for small issues to pop up in electrical installations as they age. However, these small issues can quickly turn into more complex and costly problems if they’re left alone. In some cases, they can even develop into more dangerous hazards.

Regular EICR testing is one of the best ways to prevent that. By identifying problems early on, property owners are given enough time to address these small issues long before they become dangers to human lives.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is increasingly becoming a focus for many property owners. The societal shift in sustainability, combined with the real cost savings make efficient power consumption attractive, especially for owners with multiple properties in their portfolio.

EICR tests also identify possible opportunities to maximise power use in electrical installations and their components. Recommendations are also listed in the report, along with ones geared towards safety.

Regulations

Some properties are required by regulations to have EICR inspections regularly conducted. The Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government, for example, requires landlords to present both existing and incoming tenants with EICRs once every five years.

This is a key part of the body’s campaign for safer dwellings.

Depending on the property you own, you may also need regular EICR testing.
