Frequently Asked Questions
In Scotland, landlords are legally required to have an EICR conducted every 5 years. For homeowners, while not legally required, we recommend an inspection every 10 years, or every 5 years for older properties. If you're selling your property, an up-to-date EICR can also be a valuable selling point.
An EICR involves a thorough inspection of your property's electrical installation, including consumer units, wiring, sockets, switches, and earthing. We test for electrical safety issues, potential fire hazards, and check compliance with current regulations. The inspection results in a detailed report that identifies any defects that need attention.
The duration of PAT testing depends on the number of appliances. For a typical home with 10-20 appliances, testing usually takes 1-2 hours. For business premises with numerous devices, we can provide an estimated timeframe after assessing the scope of work.
If we identify issues during testing, we categorize them by severity. For immediate safety concerns (C1), we may isolate the hazardous circuit right away. For potential hazards (C2), we'll recommend remedial work. For improvements (C3), we'll suggest upgrades to enhance safety. We can provide a quotation for any necessary repair work.
