What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an assessment of the condition and safety of the electrical installation within a property. It looks for damage, deterioration, defects and other issues that could affect electrical safety.
During an EICR, the electrical installation is inspected and tested, with the findings recorded in a report. If any issues are identified, the report will explain their classification and whether remedial work is recommended or required.
Who Needs an EICR?
EICRs are commonly required by landlords, but they can also be valuable for homeowners, buyers, sellers and businesses who want to understand the condition of an electrical installation.
If you're unsure whether your property requires an EICR, OB Electrical can discuss your circumstances and advise on the appropriate electrical inspection and testing.
Landlord EICRs in Wimborne
OB Electrical provides EICRs for landlords and rental properties throughout Wimborne and the surrounding Dorset area. The inspection assesses the condition of the property's electrical installation and identifies any issues that may require attention.
Once the inspection and testing are complete, you'll receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report detailing the results. If remedial work is required, we can explain the findings clearly and provide a quote for the necessary work.
What Do We Check During an EICR?
An EICR involves inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation within the property. This can include the consumer unit, wiring, circuits, protective devices, earthing and bonding, sockets, switches and other parts of the fixed installation.
The purpose is to identify defects, deterioration or potential safety issues and assess whether the installation is suitable for continued use.
Understanding Your EICR Results
Following the inspection, any observations identified will be recorded on the EICR using classification codes. These help indicate the nature and level of attention required.
C1 – Danger Present
An issue where immediate action is required to remove a danger.
C2 – Potentially Dangerous
An issue considered potentially dangerous where urgent remedial action is required.
C3 – Improvement Recommended
An improvement is recommended, but the observation does not by itself result in an unsatisfactory report
FI – Further Investigation Required
Further investigation is required without delay because additional information is needed to properly assess a potential safety issue.
EICR Remedial Work
If your EICR identifies electrical issues requiring remedial work, OB Electrical can explain the findings in straightforward terms and discuss the work required. We can carry out appropriate repairs and improvements to address identified defects and complete the necessary testing afterwards.
Where an inspection identifies issues with an older consumer unit or its protective devices, we can also advise on suitable consumer unit upgrade options.
