Domestic EICR in Longwell Green.
An EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report is a compulsory electrical inspection if you’re a private landlord in Longwell Green. The inspection is a way of keeping check of electrical systems such as wiring, the lighting, fuse box, outlets and switches. Landlords must conduct an EICR on a regular basis every 5 years and make sure copies of the report are available to tenants at the property.
We actually work with homeowners who require an EICR before starting any major electrical work such as solar panel installation. EMC Electrical Group recommends having an EICR at your home every 10 years or so. It's a good way to reduce the risk of injury by electric shocks or electrical fires.
Commercial EICR in Longwell Green.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 are legislation the team are very familiar with as commercial electricians. We understand that there is a greater emphasis on better electrical safety and maintenance in commercial premises. If you manage or run a business such as a hotel, school, restaurant or more complex factory premises an EICR is necessary to demonstrate compliance.
Commercial businesses with higher electrical demands or electrical machinery may need an EICR every 3 years. An office or retail premises in Longwell Green on the other hand would require an EICR every 5 years,
As with landlords, commercial businesses will face severe consequences if EICR inspections have not been carried out at regular intervals. You could be looking at void insurance policies, hefty fines for criminal charges.
What happens during an ECIR in Longwell Green.
One of the team will carry out a visual check of electrical installations, looking for signs of electrical faults, wear and tear and where safety standards are not met. Next, a number of electrical tests are carried out using various electrical equipment and state of the art testing tools. These tools help our engineers measure current load without damaging circuits and potential faults with outlets.
Faults or electrical issues found during an EICR are assigned a classification code. A C1 fault is classed as a highly dangerous fault which often needs immediate attention. A C2 fault represents an issue which could become very dangerous so immediate action is required. If the property flags C1 or C2 faults, customers should be aware that the inspection will most likely end with an “unsatisfactory" outcome. C3 faults suggest the installation is reasonably safe but could be modernised to meet current standards.
FI or Further investigation is recorded if we can’t access a particular area of wiring for example which could suggest a potential fault.
