Specialist EICR Testing
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and assessment of the condition of the electrical installations within a property.
It evaluates the safety and compliance of the electrical systems with current regulations and standards.
EICRs are essential for ensuring the safety of occupants and compliance with legal requirements. They help identify potential hazards, defects, or non-compliance issues within electrical installations, reducing the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and other accidents.
For residential properties, it is recommended to have an EICR conducted every 10 years or change of occupancy. Commercial properties may require more frequent testing, typically every 5 years or as recommended by a qualified electrician.
The frequency of EICR testing depends on the type of property and its intended use.
EICRs should be carried out by qualified and competent electricians who are registered with a recognised regulatory body, such as NICEIC, ELECSA, or NAPIT.
These professionals have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to perform thorough inspections and provide accurate assessments.
During an EICR inspection, the electrician will assess the condition of the electrical installations, including wiring, sockets, switches, distribution boards, and earthing arrangements.
They will conduct visual inspections, as well as testing and measurements, to identify any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance issues.
A typical inspection for a residential property may take between 2 to 4 hours, while larger or more complex commercial properties may require more time.
The duration of an EICR inspection varies depending on the size and complexity of the property.
After completing the inspection, the electrician will provide an EICR report detailing their findings, including any defects or recommendations for remedial action.
Depending on the severity of the issues identified, further investigation or repairs may be required to ensure the safety and compliance of the electrical installations.
If significant defects or safety hazards are identified during the EICR inspection, it may be necessary to take corrective action before the property can be deemed safe for continued use.
The electrician will advise on the necessary steps to address any issues and ensure compliance with regulations.
The cost of an EICR inspection varies depending on factors such as the size and type of property, its location, and the complexity of the electrical installations.
It is recommended to obtain quotes from qualified electricians to determine the cost for your specific requirements.
