Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Uckfield

What is an EICR?

Short for Electrical Installation Condition Report, an EICR is the official document provided after a comprehensive inspection has been done on a property’s electrical installation by a licensed electrician or engineer.

This report can be a requirement for either a commercial or residential property. When conducting EICR inspections, we follow the National Safety Standards.

An EICR test offers the following features:

  • It determines whether there is lack of earthing or bonding.
  • It pinpoints any issues with DIY electrical work within the system.
  • It shows whether there are parts of the circuit that are overloaded.
  • It identifies safety hazards such as fire or electrocution risks.

Why Get an EICR?


Safety

Safety continues to be the most compelling reason to get an EICR inspection on a property.

As electrical installations age, they become more susceptible to wear, damage and inefficient performance. If small issues are left undetected, they can develop into more complex problems that will take more time and resources to address. Worse, they will compromise the building’s safety.

To prevent this from happening and keep everyone safe, regular EICR inspections are conducted. Promptly identifying these issues can lead to timely resolutions. In every report, the inspector will detail recommendations for faster installation.

Energy Efficiency

Aside from keeping properties safe, some owners take advantage of EICR inspections to ensure the efficiency of their electrical installations. This is possible since every report also includes possible improvements to energy efficiency.

These recommendations are important in driving down the energy costs for property owners. They also help promote eco-friendly measures, which is especially attractive for owners that have several properties in their portfolio.

Regulations

In some cases, the regular inspection of a property may be required. Landlords, for example, are mandated by regulation to provide both existing and incoming tenants with EICRs with a satisfactory rating at least once every five years or when they move in.

This is a big part of the campaign to make dwellings safer started by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government.
