What happens during an EICR in Lawrence Weston?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is an inspection of electrical installation at a property. The purpose is to identify areas of non compliance and electrical faults which could potentially escalate. By identifying electrical faults at the earliest opportunity, we can prevent injury through electric shocks or fires.

As NICEIC approved electricians in Lawrence Weston, we make sure all visual and electrical testing during an EICR complies with BS 7671 Regulation. During an inspection, our experienced team looks for frayed wiring, signs of overheating and even advises you on how energy efficiency could be improved.

Electrical faults are assigned a code to help generate the final report. A number of hazardous warning signs generally results in an unsatisfactory report. The good news is that EMC Electrical Group is always happy to carry out remedial work within the 28 day time frame, making sure electrical systems are safe.

Domestic EICR in Lawrence Weston

We often get asked if homeowners need an EICR and our advice is to consider an inspection at least every 10 years. Although there is no legal requirement to have an EICR, in doing so, you can actually keep an eye on electrical systems such as the wiring and consumer unit. The team typically works with homeowners who want to future proof their property by adding solar panels or an EV charger. An EICR inspection before new installations will confirm whether your home’s power supply and wiring can cope with additional systems which do draw more power.

Landlords and letting agents on the other hand do have a legal obligation to have an EICR conducted every 5 years at their properties in Lawrence Weston. Failure to do so could see you facing hefty fines or criminal charges if electrical faults are not rectified.

EMC Electrical Group understands the pressure faced by landlords so we’re always happy to schedule an EICR around the needs of your tenants.
