Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Shrewsbury

Energy Performance Certificates is the number one provider of EICR testing in Shrewsberry. Performed by an approved contractor or licensed electrician, an EICR evaluates the safety of all outlets, wires, cables, and electrical appliances in the property.

The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) will:

  • Remove potential fire hazards and shock risks in your electrical system
  • Identify electrical circuits or equipment at risk of overloading
  • Rectify inadequacies in earthing or bonding
  • Resolve faulty electrical work due to misuse, tampering, or wear and tear

 

Work with us and let our qualified property assessors restore safety in your electrical installations.

 

What will be tested during an EICR?

Since electrical installations are prone to damage and wear and tear, they must be regularly tested by an electrician.

An EICR or periodic testing will determine if your electrics are in excellent working condition. During an EICR test, an electrician will highlight any existing or potential hazardous issues and perform appropriate corrective actions. Enhancing the efficiency of your electrical system will help reduce your home’s energy consumption and utility costs.

We offer comprehensive EICR inspections that include Visual Inspection, Dead Testing, Live Testing and RCD Testing. Our team will handle the entire process flawlessly with minimal disruption to you and your property.

In an EICR test, a registered electrician will evaluate the following areas:

  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Signs of deterioration or damage
  • Usability of sockets, outlets, switches and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of adequate identification and notices

Information in the EICR

An EICR includes the following details:

  • Crucial data about the property
  • Data about the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed condition of all electrical components 
  • Extent of existing damage
  • Changes to the property that pose electrical risks
  • List of all performed tests and their results
  • Inspector’s observations and recommendations
  • Signature of the inspector

EICR Classification Codes

Upon completion of the test, an official certificate indicating the findings will be issued. The report will either be classified as SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. EICR inspectors use a coding system to rate each identified electrical fault:

  1. C1Danger Present. A defective installation that requires immediate corrective action has been found.
  2. C2Potentially Dangerous. A potential hazard has been discovered. Corrective steps must be done within  the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 Improvement Recommended. A non-compliance with the current safety standard has been revealed. Although it does not pose immediate danger, rectifying the issue earlier would lead to greater safety.

 

Domestic EICRs are carried out every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. However, more frequent testing may be advised for broken or outdated electrical systems.

 

How much is an EICR?

The cost of a residential EICR will depend on several factors:

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

 

Expect additional costs for repairs and replacements that your inspector may recommend after the test.
