EICR stands for an Electrical Installation Condition Report and is sometimes referred to as a periodic inspection. An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of a buildings fixed wiring.

A visual inspection is carried-out looking at the condition of sockets, switches, distribution boards and other electrical components this includes removing a percentage of sockets, lights and electrical equipment to check the condition of the wiring.

Test equipment like the Megger MFT multifunction tester is used to perform a number of tests to check the condition of the electrical installation.

All the information from the visual inspection and the multiple tests is given in a multi-page report to the client.

This depends on the size of the electrical installation, a small 2-bedroom property will take between 2 – 3 hours whereas a large site can take several days.

Usually there will be a loss of power for a short time as the main switch and main protective bonding is tested if this is possible and each individual circuit is tested.

We work closely with our clients to minimize any disruption and can schedule the work doing shutdowns, nights and weekends.

An RCD (residual current device) is a key safety device to protect from a electrical shock and save life.

RCD’s also give protection against fires and supplement fuses and circuit breakers, giving protection fuses and circuit breakers do not offer.

RCD’s work extremely fast and can be found in a consumer unit, socket outlet and even as plug-in device

An RCBO is a RCD that includes a circuit breaker (MCB) and protects against residual (earth) leakage, overload and short circuit

An SPD is a surge protective device that protects the electrical installation against overvoltage’s sometimes referred to as transient voltage’s

SPD’s come in different types and each electrical installation needs different levels of protection.

An AFDD Arc Fault Detection Device is a protective device installed in the consumer unit to protect against an arc fault.

An arc fault is caused by loose connections, a breakdown of cable insulation, worn electrical equipment and can cause equipment failure and fires.
