1) What is an electrical safety inspection?
An electrical safety inspection is also known as an electrical installation condition report or EICR. An EICR is issued by an approved electrical contractor such as Quality Electrician after a detailed inspection of the electrical features of your property.
An electrical safety inspection at your Gomersal home is a thorough assessment of the electrical aspects in your property. The results from the inspection inform us of any electrical faults in your Gomersal property and whether the property is electrically safe. If you’re a landlord or property agent then you’ll definitely need an electrical safety inspection.
Back to top2) How much is an electrical safety inspection?
The price of an electrical safety inspection in Gomersal, carried out by a qualified and registered electrician such as myself, will be around £540 including VAT for a typical 3 bed semi-detached property.
Many cowboy electricians or tradesmen may quote a cheaper price which might sound appealing. Unfortunately they don’t always conduct a thorough investigation of your property and on occasion only carry out partial inspections of your home, they may also advise remedial works that aren’t necessary to increase their fees.
Back to top3) Who needs an electrical safety inspection?
Ideally every home should have an electrical safety inspection/EICR to ensure that all electrical aspects are functioning safely and without fault. For homeowners, an EICR is recommended at least once every 10 years and when planning any electrical work. For landlords, an EICR is legally required every 5 years.
As a landlord or property agent in Gomersal, you may already be aware that having electrical safety inspections of your property is vital before you rent it out to tenants. You will also need a valid EICR to ensure any building insurance policies you have for your property are valid. Most importantly, it is your responsibility to ensure you have contacted an approved electrician to conduct an electrical safety inspection. The property needs to be deemed electrically safe to avoid hazards such as electrocution and fires.
