What is landlord's electrical testing?

Landlords electrical testing, typically referred to as EICRs or Electrical Installation Condition Reports, includes regular inspections of the electrical systems at your rental home in Buckhurst. The inspection ensures electrical installations are in good working order and show signs of reduced risk of electric fires or shocks.

Landlords are legally responsible for the electrical installations at private rental properties making sure that an EICR is conducted every 5 years.

A valid EICR can be carried out by a qualified electrician like Tack Electrical Solutions.

What happens during landlord's electrical testing?

With over a decade of experience, I can quickly identify electrical faults during landlords electrical testing.This usually takes place in the form of visual checks on lighting and light fixtures, the fuse board, outlets and switches. Any other permanently installed electrical appliances like extractor fans will need to be inspected too. I look out for signs of wear and tear, outdated electrical components and any potential problems.

Next, I carry out a series of electrical tests using state of the art electrical testing equipment. Electrical faults I do observe are assigned a code and  recorded.

The benefit of working with NICEIC approved electricians like myself is that I actually use NICEIC software when recording results from landlord's electrical testing. I can then generate the legal report to confirm the testing was conducted by a qualified and competent electrician.
