Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Peterborough

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an official document prepared by a licensed electrician or engineer after conducting a comprehensive inspection of a property’s electrical installations. An EICR can be a requirement for both residential and commercial properties. The process of getting this report follows the National Safety Standards.

An EICR inspection will provide the following:

  • It can identify potential fire and electrical hazards in a property’s electrical installations.
  • It can show which parts of the circuits are overloaded.
  • It can determine any lack of earthing or bonding.
  • It can pinpoint issues with any DIY electrical work.

Why Get an EICR?

 

Safety

The most compelling reason to get an EICR is safety.

As electrical installations age, they start to deteriorate. Even seemingly minor issues, if left unattended, can easily progress into complicated and costly problems, sometimes resulting in dangerous situations.

With a professional inspection, these issues will all come to light. The electrician or engineer will identify the issues and give their recommendations to make the installations safer.

 

Energy Efficiency

Many also get their property inspected by professionals to improve their energy efficiency. As part of the testing, the electrician or engineer will look for opportunities to make the electrical installation more power efficient. This is especially useful for businesses that have expensive power bills.

 

Regulations

Finally, an EICR may be a requirement for some. Landlords, for example, were just recently required by law to provide copies of satisfactory reports to their new and existing tenants. According to the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government, this initiative is part of their work to improve safety in residential areas, especially in the private rented sector.
