What happens during an electrical inspection in Felixstowe?
An EICR, an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a formal check of the fixed wiring in a building. It looks at the consumer unit, the circuits, the earthing, the bonding and the residual current devices. What you plug in is outside its scope; the wiring behind the wall is the subject.
Each finding carries a code: C1 danger present, C2 potentially dangerous, C3 improvement advised, FI investigate further. Wood Electrical LTD carries out electrical inspection, testing and certification, including the EICR.
Can any electrician do an EICr?
It should be done by a qualified and competent person with experience of inspection and testing, and not every electrician specialises in it. For rented homes in England the inspector must be qualified and competent, and scheme registration is the easiest way to confirm that.
When is a socket or switch dangerous?
A worn or broken socket or switch is a shock risk and a fire risk. Cracked faceplates, scorch marks, loose plugs and warm switches are the signs. Stop using it, switch off the circuit if it is safe to, and get it looked at.
Keeping accessories in good repair protects the rest of the installation. Heat often starts at a loose terminal behind the plate. Wood Electrical LTD repairs and replaces sockets and switches as part of its domestic work.
Is EICR 3 years or 5 years?
It depends on the premises. Five years is the rule for private rented homes in England and the common interval for commercial premises, while some, such as industrial sites, are recommended every three. The report itself gives the date the next inspection is due.
