Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Luton

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an official document issued by a certified electrician after performing an electrical inspection of one’s home or commercial property. The EICR is issued in adherence to the National Safety Standards.

An EICR testing, or periodic inspection, enables property owners to:

  • Detect and resolve issues that may cause fires and electrical shocks

  • Identify overloaded electrical circuits or equipment
  • Record the results of the inspection to ensure legal compliance

Why You Need an EICR

Electrical installations are often hidden from view. Cables and wires stay concealed inside your walls, while consumer units are usually placed behind cupboards. However, this doesn’t exempt them from daily wear and tear. Electrical installations need proper attention and maintenance as any other appliance in your property.

A thorough EICR testing or periodic inspection can help detect signs of deterioration, defects and damages that could put you in danger. Based on the results of the test, the electrician will provide recommendations to correct the issue.

During a periodic inspection, a certified electrical inspector will take into account the following details:

  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Extent of any deterioration or damage due to misuse
  • Serviceability of equipment including fuses, circuits, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of necessary identification and notices
  • Modifications to the property that may have resulted to defects in the electrical installations

 

Electrical safety checks must only be performed by qualified professionals. Trust our experienced team to oversee the entire inspection so you can focus on more important matters.

Important Details in an EICR

An EICR details the following information:  

  • Information about your property
  • Details and limitations to the inspection
  • Detailed assessment of your electrical fixtures including:
  • Sufficiency of bonding and earthing
  • Signs of deterioration, corrosion, and wear and tear
  • Type of wiring system and extent of damage (if any)
  • Usability of sockets, outlets, switches and light fixtures
  • Summary of all the tests conducted with their results
  • Detailed observations of the inspector
  • Recommendations for corrective actions
  • Inspector’s signature

How Often Should an EICR Be Performed?

Periodic inspections are typically performed every:

  • 10 years for private properties
  • 5 years for rental or commercial properties (such as schools, hospitals, hotels, offices, laboratories, restaurants)
  • 3 years for caravans, leisure centres, theatres or industrial installations
  • 1 year for swimming pools

 

For older properties, testing may be carried out every two or three years. A periodic inspection may also be required for properties expecting a change in tenancy or that are being prepared to be let or sold. It’s also wise to schedule an EICR when misuse or natural disasters such as fire, flooding, or earthquake caused damage to the building.
