Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We offer EICR Landlords Electrical Inspections in Epping and the surrounding areas.
What Is an EICR and Why You Need One
An EICR is a full assessment of your property’s electrical system. Conducted by a qualified NICIEC registered Electrician who checks for safety, functionality, and compliance with the latest regulations.
The inspection identifies faults like wear and tear, loose connections, or outdated systems that could lead to electrical hazards. An EICR helps protect your property and everyone within it, ensuring your electrical system is safe.
Key Times When an EICR is Necessary
Landlords must arrange an EICR every five years to ensure tenant safety. Periodic checks are also important for homeowners with inspections ideally taking place every ten years or sooner if issues are present.
The Importance of EICRs for Landlords and Tenant Safety
Landlords must ensure their properties meet electrical safety standards, and an EICR helps achieve this. Under UK law, it is mandatory to have an EICR carried out every five years to ensure that the electrical system is safe for tenants.
If the report shows any issues, addressing them promptly is vital to prevent risks such as electrical shocks or fires. With an EICR, landlords demonstrate their commitment to tenant safety, avoid legal complications, and ensure their properties remain suitable for letting.
The Advantages of an EICR for Your Home
For homeowners, an EICR is a vital tool in maintaining electrical safety. It helps to identify faults before they escalate into expensive or dangerous problems, ensuring your home remains hazard-free.
You can avoid risks like electrical fires or shocks by detecting outdated or damaged wiring early. Regular inspections can also help you meet insurance requirements and potentially reduce premiums.
An EICR ensures the safety and reliability of your electrical system, allowing you to protect your home, family and property.
The EICR Inspection Process: What to Expect
An EICR inspection involves a qualified Electrician thoroughly checking your property’s electrical system.
The Electrician will first conduct a visual inspection of all visible wiring, sockets, switches, and other electrical components to spot any obvious damage or faults.
Following this, they will use testing tools to assess the circuits and ensure everything functions as it should.
If any issues are found, they will be documented in the report and need to be rectified so the property can be passed. Our Electrician will provide an upfront price for any necessary remedial work.
Once your property has passed the inspection, the Electrician will issue a certificate.
