Electrical safety is not something to take lightly. Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, ensuring your property’s wiring is up to scratch is crucial. Faulty or outdated wiring can lead to serious risks, including electrical fires and shocks. An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is your first step in identifying potential hazards and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Edinburgh Rewires specialises in providing thorough EICR inspections across Edinburgh and surrounding areas, giving you peace of mind and helping you move one step closer to a safer environment.
What's inspected in the EICR?
-
Wiring, checking for damage, wear, or unsafe wiring materials (e.g., old rubber-insulated cables).
-
Consumer unit or fuse box, ensuring the unit is equipped with modern safety devices like RCDs and MCBs.
-
Sockets, switches, and lighting
-
Earthing and bonding, ensuring metal pipes and structures are properly grounded
-
Circuit overloads
-
Residual Current Devices (RCDs), testing that RCDs trip properly in the event of a fault
-
Fire hazards, detecting risks and faulty connections that could lead to overheating
How does the test work?
The EICR report categorises issues into codes to help you understand their severity. Code C1 indicates immediate danger and requires urgent action, while Code C2 highlights potential dangers needing prompt attention. Code C3 suggests improvements for enhanced safety, and FI flags areas requiring further investigation. The team at Edinburgh Rewires ensures you fully understand your report and provides tailored recommendations to address any issues. With our expertise, you can confidently take the next steps to secure your property.
