Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Salford

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a certificate issued after a complete evaluation of your property’s electrical installations. It highlights the condition of your electrical system and identifies existing or potential defects. During the assessment, a registered electrician or property inspector tests the safety and performance of all cables, outlets, wires, and electrical appliances.

The EICR will:

  • Highlight electrical circuits or equipment at risk of overloading
  • Identify signs of damage or deterioration in your electrical installations
  • Pinpoint lack of earthing or bonding
  • Remove all potential fire hazards and shock risks from your home
  • Repair faulty installations caused by tampering, misuse, or wear and tear

 

Work with Energy Performance Certificates, and let our qualified tradesmen manage your EICR requirements for your Salford property. Trust that we’ll deliver fast and effective testing with minimal disruption to your regular routine.

 

What is tested in an EICR?

EICR inspections are performed to reduce the risk of fires and shocks in your building. By keeping your electrical system healthy, you get to lower your energy consumption and increase cost savings.

EICR inspections include a series of assessments including Visual Inspection, Dead Testing, Live Testing and RCD Testing. During the test, a registered electrician checks the following areas:

  • Useability of all outlets, wires, sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Signs of damage, deterioration or wear and tear
  • Presence of necessary identification and notices
  • Inadequacies in earthing and bonding
  • Compatibility of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)

Information in the EICR

The following details are indicated in an electrical installation condition report:

  • Structural modifications to the property that may result in electrical damage
  • Signature of the inspector
  • List of all tests conducted and their results
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Issues and observations of the inspector
  • Extent of existing damage
  • Details about the inspection
  • Detailed descriptions of the electrical installations
  • Age and status of the property

 

EICR Classification Codes

EICRs are labelled either as SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. EICR inspectors follow a coding system to classify all detected issues during the test:

  1. C1 or Danger Present.– An existing defect requires immediate attention.
  2. C2 or Potentially Dangerous– A faulty installation is discovered and necessary repairs must be performed in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 or Improvement Recommended–A non-compliance has been found. While it does not present immediate or possible danger, performing repairs earlier would lead to greater safety.

 

Residential properties must be tested once every 5 years or when there is a change of occupancy. More frequent electrical checks may be required for outdated or damaged electrical systems.

 

How much does an EICR cost?

The cost of an EICR is determined based on:

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

 

By having an EICR carried out, you can rest assured that your property is safe from all types of electrical hazards. At Energy Performance Certificates, our goal is to provide full and accurate reports at the best possible price.
