Safety
Safety is one of, if not, the most important reasons to have an EICR inspection.
An ageing electrical installation will start to show signs of deterioration and wear and tear. What may start as small issues will turn into more complex and expensive problems if undetected. In some cases, these small issues can even become hazards.
A professional inspection will highlight every issue – big or small – so they can be dealt with promptly and correctly. The inspector will identify these issues and recommend solutions to make the installations safer.
Energy Efficiency
Another compelling reason to get an EICR is to find ways to improve the energy efficiency of a property’s electrical installation. As part of the inspection, the engineer or electrician will identify opportunities to make the system more power-efficient. With a more efficient power installation, costs will go down and the entire system will be more environmentally friendly. This is particularly useful for commercial properties that have expensive energy costs.
Regulations
In some cases, an EICR may be a legal requirement. Landlords, for example, have been recently mandated by the Government to provide copies of EICRs with satisfactory scores to their existing and incoming tenants. This is part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government’s bid for safer residential areas, especially in the private rented sector.
During an inspection, the engineer or electrician will thoroughly check the following features and components of a property’s electrical system:
An EICR will include numerous pieces of useful information about the state of the electrical installation in a building including the following:
The cost of EICR inspections vary depending on several factors including the following.
