2) What is an EICR?

You might have heard of a landlord's safety check, fixed wiring or electrical safety checks. The official term used in the industry is EICR which stands for electrical installation condition report.

An EICR is a formal certificate which confirms the electrical installations at a property to be safe/satisfactory or hazardous/unsatisfactory. Many responsible homeowners opt for an EICR to assess the quality of the electrical systems at their home, ensuring the property in Derby is free of hazards associated with fires and electrocution.

If you’re a private landlord, an EICR must be conducted by an approved electrician and should be reviewed every 5 years. This way you can demonstrate your legal responsibilities in keeping your tenants safe.

3) What does an EICR electrician do?

As EICR Electricians in Derby, our role is to check for electrical faults, signs of wear and tear, areas of non compliance and even where you might have poor energy consumption at your property in Derby.

The team will conduct a visual inspection first to see if there are clear signs of faults. We then move on to the testing stage to identify any faults in electrical wiring which is concealed behind walls, flooring and ceiling spaces.

Any electrical hazards are recorded and assigned a code from C1-C3. A C1 fault is usually deemed very hazardous and will need immediate attention.

As an EICR Electrician in Derby, we want a positive outcome just as much as the client. It is however our responsibility to ensure all electrical faults are recorded on the EICR report and remedial action is taken. In most cases, faults must be rectified within 28 days of the report being issued.
