Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Penzance

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) describes the condition of the electrics on your property. During the inspection, a qualified electrician verifies if all cables, outlets, wires, and electrical appliances are in satisfactory condition or require necessary repairs.

The EICR will:

  • Assess inadequacies in earthing or bonding
  • Determine signs of damage or deterioration in your electrical installations
  • Eliminate existing and potential fire hazards and shock risks
  • Highlight electrical circuits or equipment at risk of overloading
  • Resolve faulty issues caused by tampering, misuse, or wear and tear

 

Energy Performance Certificates is the largest provider of property certificates in England. Trust that we have the experience and relevant qualifications to perform in-depth EICR inspections for your Penzance property.

 

Why does my property need an EICR?

An EICR  details any electrical hazards and non-compliances with current regulations. Property owners gain the benefit of learning if there are any defective components that may pose fire or shock hazards. A safe and stable electrical system will help lower energy costs and carbon footprint.

EICR inspections involve a range of tests including Visual Inspection, Live and Dead Testing and RCD Testing. A registered electrician will take note of the following areas:

  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Condition of al wires, sockets,l outlets, switches and light fittings
  • Inadequacies in earthing and bonding
  • Installations that show signs of damage, deterioration, or wear and tear
  • Necessary identification and notices
  • Type of wiring system and its condition

Information in the EICR

An electrical installation condition report details the following:

  • Age and status of the property
  • Detailed descriptions of the electrical installations
  • Details about the inspection
  • Extent of existing damage
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • List of all tests conducted and their results
  • Observations and recommendations of the inspector
  • Signature of the inspector
  • Structural alterations to the property that may cause electrical risks

 

EICR Classification Codes

EICRs are categorised as SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. Electricians follow a coding system to rate each identified electrical issue:

  1. C1 or Danger Present– An issue has been found that requires urgent attention
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous– Not as urgent as C1 but needs to be rectified in the next few days or weeks
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended– A non-compliance that does not signify present or possible danger has been found, although correcting the issue earlier would lead to greater safety

 

Domestic EICRs are usually carried out every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. Although electricians may advise more frequent inspections for outdated or defective electrical work.

 

How much does an EICR cost?

The cost of an EICR depends on several factors:

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

 

Not all electrical issues are safe or obvious. Maintain the safety of your electrics with an EICR from Energy Performance Certificates.
