Need an EICR Bristol? Allied Electrical Services provide professional and reliable electrical services to homeowners and landlords across Bristol.
Why might I need an EICR Bristol?
An EICR is an electrical inspection of fixed installations at a property. An EICR or electrical installation condition report is essential for checking signs of wear and tear, electrical faults or where there might be areas of non compliance at your home or rental property in Bristol.
Here at Allied Electrical Services, we encourage homeowners to consider an EICR at their Bristol based property as good practice. Regularly checking the electrical wiring and consumer unit are essential in the modern world we live in. We are heavily reliant on electrical devices and use appliances all day, every day. Most homes now use EV home charging, under floor heating or smart home features so ensuring the electrical systems are safe and efficient is just as important.
EICR Bristol for landlords
If you’re a private landlord, you're probably already aware of the legal obligation you have. Regularly assessing the quality of electrical installations at your rental property is imperative. Failure to comply could lead to hefty fines, imprisonment and unnecessary damage to your property or worse, injury to an individual.
With Allied Electrical Services by your side, thorough ECIR’ s in Bristol can help ensure the conditions of electrical installations are in safe working order for your tenants
What happens during an EICR?
During an EICR in Bristol, our specialist team of electricians conduct a visual inspection initially. This way we can look at factors such as the age of wiring and the condition of the consumer unit. We inspect outlets and sockets to look for signs of cracks or whether they may be hot to the touch.
Here at Allied Electrical Services we use cutting edge technology and advanced testing tools to help with the testing part of an EICR. A multimeter helps us record the voltage, current and resistance in wires which are concealed behind walls and floorings. Insulation resistance testers are incredibly important tools which check insulating materials around wires to make sure there are no leaks or damage.
What are the outcomes of an EICR?
During an EICR at your property in Bristol, we record any electrical faults or potential hazards. Each hazard is assigned a code from C1 - C3 or FI (Further investigation) according to its severity.
For an EICR in Bristol to achieve a satisfactory outcome, there should be no C1, C2 or F1 faults record.
As a landlord in Bristol, you have 28 days to conduct any remedial work to make sure the property is electrically safe for tenants.
