Electrical Installation Condition Report
Maintaining electrical safety is paramount for homeowners, landlords, and businesses alike. At Jennings, we offer a comprehensive Electrical Inspection and Condition Report (EICR) service designed to ensure your property's electrical systems are safe, reliable, and fully compliant with legal standards.
Understanding EICR
An Electrical Inspection and Condition Report (EICR) is a vital assessment that identifies potential defects, damages, or unsafe conditions within your electrical system. This essential service is relevant for property owners, landlords, and businesses.
Effective from July 1st, 2020, new private tenancies in England require an EICR before tenants move in. Failure to adhere to this legal requirement may result in fines of up to £30,000.
As time goes by, electrical installations naturally degrade, introducing potential risks.
Landlords: To ensure safety and compliance, EICR tests should be conducted every 5 years, during tenant transitions, or when acquiring a property for letting.
Homeowners: It's advisable to schedule an EICR every 10 years unless your property features a swimming pool, in which case annual checks are recommended.
Business Owners: Maintain safety and compliance with EICR tests every 5 years.
Determining the right time for an EICR
Insights from your EICR Report
When our qualified electricians perform an EICR, they classify their findings into specific codes:
01
Code 1 (C1)
Indicates immediate danger or a risk of injury. Any C1 hazards will be rectified before leaving the property.
02
Code 2 (C2)
Highlights potentially hazardous issues that require further investigation without delay.
03
Code 3 (C3)
Recommends improvements but does not mandate immediate remedial work for the report to be satisfactory.
At Jennings, we make it simple to prioritize your electrical safety. Our qualified electricians are ready to conduct EICR assessments for homeowners, landlords, and businesses.
Ensure your property meets legal standards and maintains electrical safety with our comprehensive EICR service.
