Need an EICR in Redcar? Voltrade electricians carry out electrical safety inspections for landlords, homebuyers, and homeowners.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of the fixed wiring in a property. Since April 2021, landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants.
Voltrade electricians in Redcar carry out EICR inspections for landlords, homebuyers, and homeowners who want to check the safety of their electrical installation.
The electrician will inspect all fixed wiring, sockets, switches, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, and any other fixed electrical equipment. They test insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, and RCD operation. The inspection typically takes 2 to 4 hours for a standard 3-bedroom house. You will receive a report classifying any defects as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended), or FI (further investigation needed).
