Looking for Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR) electrician?

1) Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR)

If you’re looking for a local electrician to carry out a professional and thorough Electrical Safety Inspection , you’re in the right place. At Quality Electrician, I specialise in providing reliable EICRs to ensure the safety of your property, whether it’s for your home, rental property, or commercial space.

2) What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is an inspection of your property’s electrical system to ensure it’s safe and compliant with UK regulations. It identifies any faults, potential hazards, or areas that need improvement. Think of it as a health check for your electrics, designed to protect you, your family, or your tenants from electrical risks.

3) Why Do You Need an EICR?

1. Landlord Legal Requirements: If you’re a landlord, an EICR is required by law for rental properties to ensure the safety of your tenants.
2. Insurance Compliance: Many insurance providers require an up-to-date EICR to validate coverage.
3. Peace of Mind: For homeowners, it ensures your electrics are safe and reduces the risk of faults that could lead to fire or injury.
4. Buying or Selling a Property: EICRs are often requested during property transactions to confirm the safety of the electrical system.

5) The Problem with Cheap EICRs

It’s tempting to go for the cheapest option, but cheap EICRs often come at a cost:

1. Superficial Inspections: Many cheap EICRs involve rushed inspections, where vital parts of your electrical system may be overlooked.
2. Missed Issues: Incomplete checks can fail to identify serious hazards, putting you and your property at risk.
3. Hidden Costs: Some electricians may offer a low initial price but charge extra for unnecessary or inflated remedial work.

When you choose me, you’re choosing a NICEIC Approved Contractor who prioritises safety and has the correct insurance to carry out the work.

6) What’s Included in an EICR?

My EICR service is comprehensive and includes:

• Visual Inspection: Checking sockets, switches, and visible wiring for damage or wear.
• Testing: Conducting all electrical tests required to assess circuits, safety devices, and overall system functionality.
• Compliance Check: Ensuring your installation meets the latest electrical safety standards.
• Detailed Report: A clear, easy-to-read report outlining the condition of your electrical system, with recommendations if any improvements are needed.

7) Who Needs an EICR?

An EICR is essential for:

• Homeowners: For peace of mind or before selling a property.
• Landlords: A legal requirement every five years or with each new tenancy.
• Businesses: Ensures compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR 1989) and many insurance policies.
• New Home Buyers: A must before purchasing an older property.
