We have a legal obligation to ensure the electrical installation in your property is safe.
The way that we do this is we carry out an electrical inspection called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least once every every 5 years. This helps to keep you, your family and neighbours safe.
The test can take between 2-4 hours to complete. We will check to make sure that the wiring, switches and sockets in your home are in good condition. This will include the light switches and fittings, and cooker wiring (but not the cooker itself, or any other items which belong to you such as lamps that plug in, toaster, kettle, etc).
If we find any faults we will repair them, and we will replace any broken items (such as faulty light switches).
We will also check that you have smoke detectors fitted and that they are working properly.
We will contact you with the date when your electrical safety check is due. If the appointment is not convenient, you must contact us as soon as possible so that we can rearrange your appointment.
