For a limited time only I am offering 10% off for customers wanting an electrical condition report. Please like and share. Thanks
As a homeowner, you want the peace of mind that the electrics in your home are safe. The building regulations require your electrical installation is tested every ten years if you own your home, and every five years if you are a landlord or live in rented accommodation.
The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), previously known as the Periodic Inspection Report, is carried out by a qualified electrician and involves the following:
Inspection of the consumer unit or fuse board.
Inspection of a sample of switches, sockets and other fixtures including light fittings.
Checking the polarity of the installation.
Testing protective devices to ensure they work to protect you and your family from electric shock.
Below is the average costs for an electrician to carry out an electrical installation condition report for different types of houses:
One bedroom flat – expect to pay from £120.
Two bedroom flat – expect to pay around £120 to £150.
Three bedroom flat – costs are between £180 and £210.
One to two bedroom house – inspection costs between £150 and £180.
Three to four bedroom house – expect to pay anything between £200 and £250.
Five bedroom house and larger – costs start from £300 and will depend on the size of the house.
An EICR will highlight any defects in your home’s electrical installation including inadequate short circuit protection, outdated wiring, and faulty connections.
