If you’ve found yourself asking “What is an EICR report?” and “Which domestic electrical engineers near me conduct EICR reports?” then ‘button up’ for a couple of minutes and allow Definitive Electrical to explain a little more…

If you have an interest in moving forward with one of the many electric vehicles coming onto the market, you’ll undoubtedly have noticed how more and more charge points are coming into use throughout the East Midlands. Councils and businesses alike are making a concerted effort to provide the infrastructure required to support EV charging. For example, West Bridgeford is just one local council that’s recently increased its number of EV charge points. East Midlands Rail is increasing the number of EV charge points it provides at stations throughout the East Midlands, too.

With huge advancements in solar technology and capabilities, together with a number of factors bumping up the average East Midlands household’s energy bills, we hear a lot of similar questions from homeowners seeking some sort of respite from rising bills: “Do electricians near me fit solar?”,  and “Is the government’s zero VAT applicable to all solar solutions?” Well, yes and yes are the simple answers to these questions, but as the leading solar PV, battery storage and EV charge specialist for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, allow us to seize this opportunity to embel

At Definitive Electrical, we are dedicated to providing top-notch electrical services that prioritise safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Recently, we had the pleasure of assisting a homeowner in rewiring their property following an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) we conducted before they purchased the house.

Would you like the good news or the bad news first? OK: The UK government reports that circa 20,000 electrical fires occur yearly, causing countless damage. On top of that, faulty wiring is accountable for a number of deaths and severe injuries.

However, not only is it highly recommended to have one, but it is also a legal requirement if you intend to let any part of your property. 

Throughout the past month, the Definitive Electrical team has been playing its role in helping communities throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands to improve safety.
