How Often Should You Get an EICR?
We at Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor consider electrical safety the backbone of a safe home or apartment. Turning in regular Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) is one of the most consistent approaches to guaranteeing this safety. EICR-based landlords and homeowners can be sure their electrical systems are compliant, reducing risk and raising safety. But how often and according to what protocols should you hold an EICR?
What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a thorough professional assessment of the electrical infrastructure of your facility. This report identifies potential risks and gives clear recommendations for upgrades or maintenance. Our team at Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor delivers EICRs that are exact and informative to enable you to know your electrical safety status.
Why Choose Regular EICRs?
Over time, electrical systems degrade. As wires deteriorate, they get damaged and eroded by weather, raising the potential for fire and electric shock’s. You find issues before routine EICRs need more expensive repairs. Our Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor team keeps up with these risks by conducting simple, accurate tests focused on safety and compliance.
Guidelines for Homeowners
A homeowner is not legally obligated to file an EICR as often as a landlord is, but you want to do one every 10 years. Planning to sell your home? A current EICR assures potential buyers that your property is safe and easier to sell. Here at Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor, with our domestic electrical contractors, we recommend further inspections if your home is older than 25 years, has undergone repairs, or has even been affected by a major storm or even floods.
Landlord EICR Requirements
For landlords, EICRs are the keys to tenant safety. It’s law that landlords get an EICR every five years or when a new tenancy is signed. By doing this not only do you follow all laws, but you also have the assurance that your property is safe. If there is a problem, you’ll be sent a report of any quick fix you need to take to stay on top of the repairs and avoid fines.
