What does an EICR electrician do?
As an EICR Electrician in Ayrshire, I investigate the electrical installations in a property to ensure they are working correctly and safely. If you’re wondering what electrical installations include, they are all lighting fixtures, switches, pug sockets, fuse board or consumer unit and any additional electrical appliances you might have such as home EV charger or solar panels.
I conduct a visual inspection first to identify signs of damage or general wear and tear. With the use of state of the art technology and years of expertise, I then inspect circuitry, hard wiring and check all earthing components are complete.
Ideally you want the outcome of an EICR to be satisfactory, this would require the classification code C3 which states no immediate danger is present and any minor faults should be remedied but with no urgency.
Unfortunately as an EICR Electrician in Ayrshire, there are times when the outcome of an inspection is unsatisfactory. This is determined by the classification codes C1, C2 OR FI (further investigation). This suggests that a dangerous hazard has been identified and the property cannot be deemed safe. I will of course conduct short term fixes to make sure the property is stable prior to leaving.
As an experienced electrician, EICRS are conducted swiftly and in a timely manner, causing the least amount of disruption to you or your business.
Domestic EICR electrician in Ayrshire
The BS767 Wiring regulations (Regulation 135.1) does state that property owners should make sure that the electrical installations are safe, free from faults and functional. Through an EICR, you can make sure the risk of electrical hazards such as fires or shocks is low and that you, your family and home are protected, giving you added peace of mind.
Commercial EICR electrician in Ayrshire
As commercial settings are generally a place of employment, The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states that commercial properties must conduct an EICR regularly every 5 years, this could be more frequently dependent on the nature of the commercial business.
Commercial businesses tend to use more electrical appliances from kitchen appliances in canteens to office equipment. As some commercial businesses use heavy machinery, an EICR electrician is required to make sure all faults are identified if there are any and to make sure safety regulations have been adhered to.
Commercial businesses have a level of care to make sure all occupants at the property are safe and that the risk of electrical related hazards are low.
You’ll probably find that a number of insurance policies such as business and property policies do require a valid and satisfactory EICR.
