2) Why PAT Testing is recommended for Bristol Homeowners

The are no specific laws surrounding PAT Testing in private homes however you are required to ensure all electrical installations in your home are safe under the Quality and Continuity Regulations of 2002 for Electricity Safety. EMC Electrical Group offer domestic PAT Testing which can help identify potential electrical hazards in your home and reduce the risk of accidents, fires and even electric shocks. It has even been known for home insurance companies to encourage or insist on the same by way of demonstrating your commitment to safety. Should an accident occur in your Bristol home that is as a direct result of an unsafe appliance that does not have a current PAT Testing certificate, you could be faced with accusations of negligence and liability too. 

Our PAT Testing service for Bristol homeowners can provide peace of mind that all your appliances are safe to use and will aid in the prevention of potential issues.

3) Situations where PAT Testing is especially IMPORTANT

There are certain situations we have encountered where it is especially important to have PAT Testing carried out and these include: - 

  • Should you have recently purchased a new home
  • If you are unsure as to the age or condition of any appliances
  • If you are renting out your property
  • If you have older or second-hand appliances

4) What domestic PAT Testing comprises of?

PAT Testing with EMC Electrical Group will typically comprise of various checks and inspections. 

We will carry out initial checks in your Bristol home in order to look for signs of visible damage to the appliance for example it may have a frayed cable, loose plug or showing signs of overheating. We will also use a PAT Tester to perform specific tests on the appliance which include: - 

  • Earth Continuity Test
  • Insulation Resistance Test
  • Leakage Current Test
  • Function Test

During our testing we will also keep a record of all your PAT Testing that includes the date they were carried out, the results and any defects we may have come across. 

As previously mentioned, whilst not mandatory we would recommend PAT Testing in your Bristol home is carried out routinely especially on those appliances that are used frequently or are portable such as an extension lead.
