We at ETE Electrical are dedicated in helping you ensure your electrical installation is maintained in a safe condition and by having one of our qualified electricians carry out a test and inspection report is one of the best ways to ensure the electrical installation is safe.
For Domestic properties it is recommended an electrical inspection is carried out every 10 years and if rented every 5 years or change of occupancy. Depending on the type of commercial property the inspection period can be a maximum of 1 - 3 or 5 years.
There are several factors including damage, wear and tear, excessive overloading and ageing which all help an electrical installation to deteriorate.
What is involved in a EICR
The electrician will carry out both visual checks and electrical tests as recommended in BS7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations IET Wiring Regulations
The visual checks includes checking sockets and lights for damage, checking the consumer unit, wiring, and earthing is in good condition.
The electrical tests involve using a test instrument like the AVO Megger to determine the condition of the wiring and earthing.
