Whether you are a homeowner, tenant or landlord electrical safety checks are essential to ensuring safety in the home.
Every day we rely upon on our electrical systems and depend on our electrics to work without fault or disruption to our daily lives.
This is why maintenance and regular testing is important to ensure faults or potential faults are found and dealt with efficiently before they become a larger problem which is not only inconvenient, it could not only cause damage to your home and belongings and in worst case scenarios put the people in the household at risk too.
Landlords are now required by law to ensure their properties have an electrical installation condition report or EICR carried out at least every 5 years, breach of this can result in financial penalties for the landlord. A landlord must provide a copy of the most up to date EICR to new tenants, if requested by a local authority a landlord also has to provide a copy of the report within 7 days.
Electrical safety checks are vital when evaluating the condition of the electrics in the home. Whilst most people would be completely oblivious to faulty wiring until it becomes a bigger and much more expensive problem, regular safety checks could detect this earlier and work to resolve problems before they become more dangerous, disruptive and more expensive.
Electrical checks can not only save you money in the cost of larger repairs but also in energy costs. When faults are not recognised, they can often lead to increased energy consumption. Electrical safety checks can detect any faults and components in your electrical system using excess energy which your electrician will advise you of the way to rectify the fault, saving you from a much bigger problem developing and also helping lower your energy costs.
