What happens during a commercial EICR in Bristol?
Allied Electrical Services have years of experience conducting commercial EICRs in Bristol. Initially we conduct a visual inspection to pinpoint signs of wear and tear, degradation and in some cases ancient components such as older styles of fuse boxes.
Lighting fixtures, sockets and switches are also checked as well as accompanying circuits. We use state of the art testing equipment to take voltage, current and resistance readings.
A detailed commercial EICR report is then generated based on our findings. If we do identify any hazardous, we will advise you on immediate remedial work which will need to take place.
Any minor faults will also be included in the report too, we will provide recommendations to prevent further damage or suggest regular maintenance to the electrical systems.
