Household electrical safety checks are highly recommended for homeowners and are mandatory for most UK landlords. Keep your home safe by obtaining an electrical safety certificate.
It's easy to take for granted the smooth, uninterrupted operation of electrical circuits, appliances, light fittings and plug sockets in domestic properties.
However, like so many aspects of our homes, all of these elements are subject to wear, tear and deterioration after years of continuous use.
Thankfully, UK homeowners can get peace of mind by hiring trusted electricians to conduct an inspection and produce an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
It is recommended that an EICR is conducted on your home every 5-10 years.
However, there are a number of other reasons why you might choose to have this relatively inexpensive electrical check more frequently.
You are looking to sell your home - For homeowners looking to sell their home quickly, investing in an EICR can help prospective buyers be confident that the home has no electrical faults (and therefore be more willing to meet the asking price and close the deal quickly).
Home & Property Insurance - Some insurers require that a recent electrical inspection (EICR) has taken place to confirm the condition of a home's electrical circuits and appliances. They may request to see this prior to providing cover, or before upholding any claims related to an electrical fire.
You are a UK landlord - Electrical checks for landlords form an essential part of your responsibilities to keep tenants safe and your rental properties up to electrical safety standards (more below).
