Domestic EICR in Bedminster

An EICR or electrical installation condition report is an inspection of all electrical installations in a property. Electrical installations can include the fuse box or consumer unit, lighting, plug sockets, switches and any additional electrical features you might have at your home in Bedminster.

Any additional electrical installations you might have will need to be tested too. We have seen a rise in solar panel installations, home EV chargers and underfloor heating which requires inspection too.

If you’re a landlord or letting agent, you have a legal duty to carry out an EICR every 5 years to ensure the property is electrically safe and sound for your tenants. Failure to comply could result in hefty fines and even prosecution. Even more severe consequences could result in the property being damaged through an electrical fire or injury to tenants.

If you’re a homeowner in Bedminster, there isn’t a legal obligation to conduct an EICR but we strongly recommend an inspection, especially if an EICR hasn't been conducted in at least 10 years. An EICR will highlight any faults, deterioration and damage to any older electrical wiring or components, helping to bring your property up to date.

In many cases, a regular EICR is essential if you’re a commercial business owner in Bedminster for insurance purposes. Many building or premises insurance policies speculate that a satisfactory outcome is required through an EICR. You may find that any policies are null and void in the absence of a satisfactory EICR

What happens during an ECIR in Bedminster?

The team conducts a visual inspection of the electrical installation and then with the use of state of the art testing tools, we can identify a number of faults, even when concealed within walls or flooring.  

Electrical faults are then assigned a classification code, defining its severity and next steps.

Major faults posing as high risks are assigned the code C1. EMC Electrical group will attempt to remedy the fault and secure the premises before leaving. Any faults wound within the report will need to be rectified within 28 days.

If the EICR unfortunately determines an unsatisfactory result, we have the experience, knowledge and skills to carry out fault finding and remedial work to make sure all electrical installations are up to date, safe and in line with building regulations.
