2) EICR certification in Pilsley

Let's start off by explaining what an EICR is. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough inspection of the electrical systems at a property. We check systems such as the fuse box or consumer unit, lighting fixtures, switches and plug sockets. Most properties now have additional electrical features like underfloor heating or an EV charger. These systems will need to be inspected by our NICEIC electricians too.

So why have an EICR carried out? The inspection helps identify electrical faults, areas of non compliance and where energy efficiency could be improved at your home in Pilsley. We carry out visual and electrical tests and record faults.

As NICEIC approved, we actually use NICEIC software when recording electrical faults during an EICR. This helps us generate the final report which you need to keep hold of.

Definitive Electrical Solutions assign a code to the electrical faults found:

• C1 faults are extremely dangerous and carry great risk. If a C1 fault is found, we do our best to carry out emergency work but further remedial work will be required.
• C2 electrical issues display potential dangers and need to be addressed immediately. An example might include sockets which have been installed close to a sink or tap.
• C3 faults might suggest labeling is lacking on circuit breakers. These particular faults pose no immediate danger.
• FI or further investigation usually means we need to do some further investigations to confirm the root cause.

The final outcome of the EICR will either be a satisfactory or unsatisfactory result. A satisfactory report can only be achieved if faults assigned a C3 code are found.

All is not lost if the outcome ends up being unsatisfactory. As experienced EICR electricians, we can provide remedial work and expert advice to overcome and remedy the faults found.

So who needs an EICR? If you’re a private landlord in Pilsley, an EICR is mandatory, every 5 years in fact. This is to ensure electrical installations are safe, compliant and modern for tenants at your property. Failure to do so can lead to invalidation of insurance policies, hefty fines of up to £30,000 and even criminal charges brought against you.

You can avoid all the hassle by working with a reputable electrician like Definitive Electrical Solutions. We’re happy to arrange inspections for a more suitable time, working around the busy schedules of your tenants.

If you’re a homeowner, our expert advice is to consider an EICR every 10 years. This is a great way to keep track of electrical installations like wiring and the fuse board. Whilst conducting an EICR for homeowners, we often find that wiring has dragged on over the years. If it wasn't for the EICR, the homeowner would be putting their home and household at risk.
