Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Southend-on-Sea

An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is the document produced by a certified electrician after they conduct a comprehensive test on a property’s electrical system. This document includes useful information such as the system’s status, its energy-efficiency, and its safety.

The EICR identifies the following:

• The hazards in the system that can potentially cause electric shocks or even fires.
• Whether certain components in the system are overloaded.
• The lack of earthing or bonding, if any.
• Whether DIY work in the past have left any issues.

EICR Benefits

Components of the electrical system can be located within walls and ceilings, or under floorboards. This makes it difficult to tell whether there are issues with them. Certified electricians have the training and the tools to accurately inspect these components.

Regular EICR inspections can help with the following concerns:

• Safety
  
  Even without glaring or readily noticeable issues in your electrical system, you cannot be sure that it is functioning properly until they are meticulously checked.
  
  Without regular inspections, small issues can worsen over time and become more costly, time-consuming, and even potentially dangerous. In some cases, these issues can cause electric shocks or even fires.
  
  Keep everyone in the property safe with regular EICR checks.
  
  
• Energy Efficiency
  
  The EICR also makes recommendations regarding the energy efficiency of the electrical system. Making your installation more power-efficient will reduce your monthly power bills. This is especially useful for owners who have several properties to their name.
  
  Businesses also see the value of becoming more energy-efficient. In an increasingly sustainable business landscape, consumers tend to favor businesses who take part in the movement.
  
  
• Regulations
  
  Certain properties are also required by law to get regular inspections. This includes rental properties.
  
  As part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government’s plan to develop safer dwellings, landlords are now required to have their properties inspected at least once every five years. They also need to present the findings to incoming and existing tenants.
