Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Lincoln

Energy Performance Certificates supplies Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for residential and commercial buildings in Lincoln. Our qualified electricians will evaluate all electrical installations in your property to ensure they’re safe to use. With our quick turnaround and convenient process, clients are guaranteed to receive their EICR within a few days.  

 

What is Covered in an EICR?

An EICR is a comprehensive summary of the condition of your property’s electrical system. The inspection aims to detect any damage in your electrical work that could potentially be hazardous. A typical EICR includes the following details: 

  • Details about the property
  • Information about the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection (if any)
  • Details of the electrical installations including:
  • Signs of damage and wear and tear (if any)
  • Type of wiring system and signs of damage (if any)
  • Condition of earthing and bonding
  • Presence of proper identification and notices
  • Condition of all installations including switches, sockets, outlets and light fittings
  • Any changes to the house or building that caused damage to electrical systems
  • All the tests conducted and their results
  • Detailed observations of the inspector
  • Signature of the inspector

 

An EICR grades all wirings, sockets, circuits, and electrical appliances based on their safety, serviceability, and any damage they may pose.

EICR Classifications

EICR inspectors use three classifications:

  1. C1. Danger Present. Risk of injuries and accidents is high and requires immediate action.
  2. C2. Potential Danger – While immediate action may not be required at the moment, remedial steps must be done in the following days,
  3. C3. Improvement Recommended – Electrical installations are sound, but steps may be taken to further enhance safety.

Benefits of an Up-to-Date EICR

Landlords are required to schedule an EICR every five years. In some cases where the electrical installations are old and damaged, electricians may recommend more frequent inspections. 

According to new EICR regulations, landlords must issue both new and current tenants with an updated EICR. Every change of tenant also requires a new EICR. 

  • For New Tenants – Starting 1 July 2020, new tenants must receive a satisfactory EICR before officially moving in.
  • For Current Tenants – Starting 1 April 2021, all current tenants must be given a satisfactory EICR

 

Landlords are expected to present tenants with a copy of the EICR within 28 days following the inspection. They must also retain a copy of the report until the next inspection.

Given the recent changes in legislation, it is crucial to schedule inspections accordingly to ensure you and your properties are fully compliant.

Securing an EICR gives property owners the following advantages:

  • Safety – A periodic inspection can keep your property safe from fires and electrical shocks
  • Compliance – Ensure that your electrical installations meet current guidelines
  • Cost savings – Detecting and resolving potential issues earlier can save you from costly repairs
  • Energy efficiency - Highlight areas where you can lower the use of electricity and decrease energy bills
