Why have an EICR?
An EICR which is also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an inspection of electrical installations at your property. The purpose is to identify potential areas of non compliance, areas of general wear and tear and of course electrical faults.
By identifying electrical faults at an early stage, you can avoid disastrous injury through electric shocks and electrical fires. MES Electrical Services also help customers improve energy efficiency by locating areas of poor energy consumption, helping you achieve manageable utility bills.
Who needs an EICR?
Do you own a rental property in Emersons Green, Bristol? If so, an EICR must take place every 5 years. Copies of the report must be made available to existing tenants and any new tenants starting a new rental agreement.
The local authority may request a copy of the EICR report. As a landlord, you have 7 days to send a copy from the date requested.
An EICR is not compulsory for homeowners. As experienced EICR electricians we do strongly recommend an inspection, at least every 10 years. This way you can keep track of electrical installations such as the fuseboard and electrical wiring, identifying potential faults and deterioration.
