Electrical Health Check
When buying a new property it is the norm to get a building survey done. Unfortunately this does not always pick up any electrical issues the property may have. Sadly it has become a common occurrence for us to start work for a new homeowner only to have to inform them their electrical installation is unsafe and requires a rewire. We now offer an electrical health check. This involves our electrician will open up your fusebox, and some of the switches and sockets throughout your home. We will carry out some basic tests and then put together a small report which will detail the condition and age of your wiring, the likelihood of when it may need rewired and any recommended upgrades that can be done to improve the system. For more detailed reports we also offer EICRs which are more involved and every circuit is tested.
An EICR is a full electrical test of the electrical installation. This will give us a great understanding of the safety of the electrical installation and any necessary works to bring it all up to standard.
What DOES an EICR entail
Tests are carried out on all wiring and fixed electrical equipment. The EICR inspection will verify the condition of switches, sockets and light fittings. We will also check the condition and type of wiring, black rubber coated cables, fabric or lead must be replaced with modern PVC cables. We will issue an Electrical Installation Condition Report, which identifies any deterioration, defects or dangerous conditions.
