EICRs in Walsall

Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Walsall

An EICR is the report produced by a certified electrician after a comprehensive check on a property’s electrical installation. It’s short for electrical installation condition report. It contains details about the status of the electrical system.

The document is used for the following:

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

EICR Benefits

A lot of the components in electrical installations are located in between walls and ceilings, hidden from view. To ensure a more comprehensive inspection, you will need the help of a certified electrician. Regular inspections will help you reap the following benefits:

• Safety
  
  Safety is arguably the most important purpose of having an EICR inspection, because even if you do not experience any glaring issues with your electrical installation, it doesn’t mean that it is working properly or safely.
  
  Even small issues can develop into bigger ones that will take significantly more time and resources to address. When these problems worsen they can even cause anything from electric shocks to fires.
  
  Regular EICR inspections will reduce these risks and help keep everyone in the property safe.
  
  
• Energy Efficiency
  
  Many owners, especially those who own businesses or multiple properties also take advantage of EICR tests to make sure that their electrical installations are running as optimal as possible.
  
  A more energy-efficient system means it will generally use up less power. This translates into significant reductions in monthly power bills. This scales up the more properties are involved.
  
  Businesses are also becoming increasingly conscious about sustainability. Having an energy-efficient system helps in this regard. It also resonates well with customers.
  
  
• Regulations
  
  As part of an ongoing campaign for safer dwellings that was launched by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government, landlords are now required to present a satisfactory EICR to both existing and incoming tenants at least once every five years.
  
  Other properties also require regular EICR inspections. If you are unsure whether certain regulations apply to you, give us a call at 0203 397 8220 and we will be happy to help you clarify.
