Electrical safety checks for your home will give you added peace of mind knowing all electrical systems at your home are safe and free of faults.
The main electrical safety check we recommend for homeowners in Bristol is an EICR or electrical installation condition report.
An EICR is an extensive inspection of the electrical installations within a property. Fixtures such as the fuse board, plug sockets, switches, wiring and lighting are inspected and checked for faults or non compliance with current safety standards.
Who can carry out electrical safety checks for homeowners?
Electrical safety checks for homeowners such as an EICR should be conducted by a qualified electrician, with experience when it comes to electrical inspections.
Here at Fairway Electrical, I am Part P registered and NAPIT qualified, having successfully undertaken the accreditation process with NAPIT. Having demonstrated a high level of competence and compliance and understanding of safety standards in the electrical industry, it's safe to say, I have a deep appreciation for electrical safety checks and inspections.
When should I carry out an electrical safety check if I'm a homeowner?
Fairway Electrical recommends that an electrical safety check for homeowners is conducted every 10 years to maintain good practice, promote electrical efficiency at your property and to ensure the electrical installations can cope with future demands.
What are the advantages of electrical safety checks for homeowners in Bristol?
Bristolians are proud homeowners and many demonstrate good practice by conducting regular electrical safety checks. The greatest benefit of conducting an EICR at your home is enhanced safety as an inspection will flag up any potential hazards such as damaged wiring, outdated consumer units or insufficient earthing.
Identifying electrical hazards early can prevent electrical fires which are more common than you think. Often caused by faulty wiring or overloaded circuits.
You can actually save more money and time by addressing electrical faults that are identified during an ECIR sooner rather than later. The nature of many electrical installations means general wear and tear and electrical faults can go undetected for some time as they are concealed behind cavity wall, flooring or ceiling spaces. Electrical faults can escalate quickly causing greater structural and superficial damage which may cost more to repair.
With the cost of living rising, many homeowners in Bristol are conducting electrical safety checks to reduce wasted energy. An EICR will flag up any areas within your home where energy consumption may be reduced. Improving electrical efficiency will give you added peace of mind that energy loss is a minimum.
Many of our existing clients have benefited from electrical safety checks as homes in Bristol with more recent EICRs are potentially more attractive to future buyers, demonstrating a well maintained electrical system.
