Why Get an EICR?
Safety
Safety is still the most compelling reason property owners choose to have electrical inspections.
Several components and features of electrical systems show signs of wear and tear as they age. These can manifest in small issues that, if left unattended, can develop into bigger, more complex problems. When they can become safety risks, they are also more difficult and costly to address.
By having regular EICR inspections, property owners can avoid these expensive and dangerous hazards. The test identifies troublesome components and installations and makes recommendations on how to address them and whether they need to be immediately resolved.
The test ensures that dangerous problems are addressed promptly.
Energy Efficiency
The report pinpoints areas in the installation where there is room to improve power efficiency to maximise its use.
These recommendations are important for two main reasons: it helps drive down the costs of electric bills and it helps promote a more environmentally friendly electrical installation. These can be especially useful incentives for owners with several properties.
Regulations
Many property owners also have regular EICR inspections to adhere to regulations.
Landlords, for example, are now required to present satisfactory EICR test results to their tenants at least once every five years. They also need to present copies of the report to prospective tenants before they move in.
This is a big part of the push for safer dwellings by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government.
