Your guide to getting your electrics checked with an EICR from Coventry Electrical 

So, you own a commercial building and want to ensure your electrical installations are safe and compliant? At Coventry Electrical we provide in-depth Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to give you peace of mind when it comes to your electrical system. In this blog we’ll discuss the two main aspects of our EICRs. 

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an essential test for any property. It is a legal requirement to have an EICR and ensure that your property is currently maintained and serviced by a competent person. 

Visual inspections 

As part of your EICR with us, we begin by visually inspecting your commercial buildings’ electrics. 

We use the visual inspection to carefully assess all aspects of the installation, and in particular our professional electricians are looking out for any defects or signs of deterioration that would deem your electrical installations unsafe and non-compliant. 

This first inspection is essential to the EICR as it allows us to understand the condition of your electrical installations. It also gives us time to review and advise you of the next best steps and solutions for your electric systems.

Electrical testing

Electrical testing is the second phase of our EICR. It involves specialist equipment to apply a current to the wiring, to measure resistances and check the cable insulation is safe.

Electrical testing is much more technical and is, of course, a necessity to ensure your electrical system and installations are legally compliant. RCD testing is also included at this stage, to ensure all devices are safe and will do their job correctly in the event of a fault/emergency.
