Looking for a Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) Electrician?

1) Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

Ensure Your Home’s Electrical Safety with a Professional EICR

At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we provide Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to help homeowners, landlords, and tenants ensure that their electrical systems are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Electrical installations deteriorate over time, and faults can develop without warning. An EICR is essential to identify potential hazards, reduce the risk of electrical fires, and ensure compliance with BS 7671:2018 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

2) What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

An EICR is a professional inspection and testing process that assesses the safety, condition, and compliance of your home’s electrical system. It is carried out by a qualified electrician and includes a full assessment of your wiring, consumer unit (fuse board), sockets, switches, and fixed electrical appliances.

A professional EICR from Wessex Electrical Services Ltd will help you:

✔ Identify electrical faults, damage, or wear and tear before they become a danger

✔ Ensure your home meets the latest electrical safety regulations

✔ Detect potential fire and electric shock hazards
