Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Lichfield

Energy Performance Certificates specialises in reliable EICR testing in Lichfield. Our registered electricians are fully trained to inspect outlets, wires, cables, and electrical appliances for faults and deterioration. 

The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) will:

  • Reveal electrical circuits or equipment at risk of overloading
  • Check for inadequacy in earthing or bonding
  • Rectify defective electrical work due to misuse, tampering, or wear and tear

 

Work with us and let our qualified property assessors restore safety in your electrical installations.

 

What’s the Purpose of an EICR?

Regular EICR inspections confirm that the electrical system is in excellent working condition. During an EICR test, a licensed electrician will pinpoint existing or potential hazardous issues and perform the necessary corrective actions. By improving the efficiency of your electrical system, you get to reduce your home’s energy consumption and increase cost savings.

An EICR inspection involves a series of tests including Visual Inspection, Dead Testing, Live Testing and RCD Testing. Rest assured our team will handle the entire process with as minimal disruption to you and your property as possible.

In an EICR test, a registered electrician will take note of the following:

  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Extent of any deterioration or other wear and tear
  • Serviceability of sockets, outlets, switches and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of adequate identification and notices

Information in the EICR

An EICR features the following details:

  • Important data about the property
  • Data about the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed status of all electrical components
  • Adequacy of the earthing and bonding
  • Extent of existing damage
  • Changes to the property that resulted in damage
  • List of all tests conducted and their results

EICR Classification Codes

EICR inspectors follow a coding system to rate each electrical fault:

  1. C1Danger Present. A defective component is found and needs to be rectified immediately
  2. C2Potentially Dangerous. A potential danger is identified and corrective action must be taken within the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 Improvement Recommended. A non-compliance is discovered but does not present immediate or possible danger. However, taking remedial action earlier can reduce risks and lead to greater electrical safety.

Residential EICRs are scheduled every 10 years or at a change of occupancy, but more frequent testing may be required for broken or outdated electrical installations.

 

How Much Does an EICR cost?

The cost of an EICR inspection may be determined based on:

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