⚡️Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) ⚡️
Most homeowners don’t get their electrics tested unless they’re selling their property. It’s usually landlords who have EICRs carried out, mainly because they’re legally required to.
During an EICR we carried out last week, we discovered that both RCDs failed under test.
For anyone who doesn’t know, RCDs are important safety devices designed to protect you from electric shock.
Without having her electrics tested, this homeowner would have had no idea they weren’t working correctly. She may only have found out if something went wrong and they failed to operate when they were needed most.
The worrying thing is, everything appeared to be working normally.
Just because your electrics work doesn’t necessarily mean they’re safe.
Get your electrics tested. ⚡️
