ELECTRICAL TESTING

If you live in or own a business in the Colchester area, then count on Lea Arnold Electrical Services to carry out efficient, thorough and certified electrical testing for your safety, peace of mind and legal cover.

Why are Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) requested?

  • To keep a detailed record of the installation’s condition at the time of the inspection and provide information which can be used in any future inspection.

  • Testing will define any components of the electrical installation which may not meet the IET Wiring Regulation, allowing you to rectify this quickly and safely.
  • Electrical testing will identify any appliance or object which could potentially cause electric shocks and emit high temperatures.

  • Recording the results of the inspection in order to ensure that all of your electrical installations are safe until the date of the next inspection.

  • Our thorough inspections are designed to discover any faults, damages as well as general wear and tear which could have an effect on the safety of the installation and to duly report this.

Key Facts:

The term ‘electrical installation’ refers to and includes each item of fixed electrical equipment which runs from the electricity meter of the rental property.

Of course, over time, electrical installations may suffer damage or simply become unsafe due to fair wear and tear, therefore, it is imperative to ensure that they are properly maintained.

Should you as a landlord fail to keep up to date with electrical testing, this can lead to prosection, and it will also make the majority of insurance policies for property owners invalid.
