Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Trowbridge

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a document issued following a careful inspection of a property’s electrical installations. During the inspection, a registered electrician or property assessor identifies any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical systems. 

The EICR will:

  • Locate potential fire hazards and shock risks in your electrical system
  • Discover overloaded appliances or circuits
  • Spot deficiencies in earthing or bonding
  • Uncover faulty electrical work due to misuse, tampering, or wear and tear

Why you need an EICR

Electrical safety checks will not only identify damages or problems in the property’s electrical system, but also determine areas where the system can be improved. Keeping your electrical installations in excellent condition is one of the best ways to cut energy use and costs.

The inspection consists of a number of tests such as Visual Inspection, Live Testing, Dead Testing, and RCD Testing. All of these assessments will help uncover issues that can lead to loss of life or property.

Examining outlets, wires, cables, and electrical appliances are best left to professionals. Our team will handle the entire process with utmost efficiency and minimal disruption to your property.

Our licensed electricians will highlight the following issues:

  • Extent of damage, deterioration, or other wear and tear
  • Sufficiency of earthing and bonding
  • Adequacy of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Usefulness of sockets, outlets, switches and light fittings
  • Presence of adequate identification and notices
  • Type of wiring system and its condition

 

EICR Trowbridge

What’s Included in the EICR

An EICR will usually include the following information:

  • Structural changes to the property that caused electrical issues
  • Signature of the inspector
  • Scope of existing damage
  • List of all tests conducted and their results
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Details about the property
  • Detailed observations and recommendations of the inspector
  • Data about the inspection
  • Condition of all electrical components

 

EICR Classification Codes

EICRs are graded as SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. All identified deficiencies are classified according to priority:

  1. C1 – Danger Present. These are electrical faults that require immediate remedial action.
  2. C2 – Potentially Dangerous. Electrical issues that may not be as urgent as C1, but require corrective steps in the next few days or weeks.
  3. C3 – Improvement Recommended. A non-compliance has been discovered but does not signify immediate danger. However, taking steps to fix it can significantly lower safety risks.

 

Residential EICRs are carried out every 10 years or when there is a change of occupancy. However, older or damaged electrical installations may need frequent testing.

 

How much does an EICR cost?

EICRs are priced depending on different factors:

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