EICR Electrician Bristol

Why might I need an EICR Electrician in Bristol?

An EICR, also referred to as an electrical installation condition report is an inspection of electrical installations at a property. If you’re wondering what electrical installations include, the inspection includes lighting, wiring, sockets, switches and the fuse board or consumer unit. If the property has additional electrical systems such as an EV chrome charger or solar panels, we would inspect these fixtures too.

As EICR electricians in Bristol, we take inspections very seriously as the main goal is to identify any faults, flaws or damage caused by wear and tear. In many cases, electrical faults pose high risks and if left unchecked, can escalate quickly leading to more disastrous consequences such as electrocution or electric fires.

A report is generated upon completion, identifying any hazards which will need to be remedied within 28 days. For any minor hazards, we will of course offer our best advice even if further work is not recommended.

When should I call an EICR Electrician?

Homeowners in Bristol are not legally required to conduct an EICR but our recommendation is that by doing so, you can make sure the electrical installations at your home are efficient, free of hazards and safe.

In some scenarios, recommendations from previous EICRs may suggest a shorter interval for the next inspection. The same applies if a premises has had significant modifications to electrical systems which may result in an EICR sooner than anticipated.

Benefits of an EICR Electrician in Bristol

As domestic and commercial electricians, MES Electrical services are qualified to conduct an EICR at both types of properties, ensuring the premise is safe for employees and customers as well as homeowners and tenants.

Our recommendation is that homeowners conduct an EICR at least every 10 years.  

For private rental properties and commercial premises, an EICR is required every 5 years. More frequently according to the nature of business and the usage of electrical systems.

Certain insurance policies require a satisfactory EICR as a prerequisite and some insurers do offer discounts on premiums when a property has had an EICR conducted regularly.

The ultimate benefit we would share with you as EICR electricians is the reduced risk at your property. As an EICR identifies electrical hazards, you can minimise the risk of electrical accidents, making the premise safer for all occupants.
