What does our EICR service involve?
When you choose Solitaire Group for your EICR, our skilled electricians will carry out a detailed examination, including:
- Visual Inspection: A thorough visual check of all accessible electrical components, including consumer units (fuse boxes), wiring, switches, sockets, and accessories, looking for signs of damage, wear, or incorrect installation.
- Dead Testing: This involves turning off the power to your property to safely conduct a series of crucial tests: Continuity Testing: To confirm that protective conductors and bonding are correctly connected. Insulation Resistance Testing: To check the integrity of the insulation of your electrical cables, preventing leakage and potential short circuits. Polarity Testing: To ensure that the wiring is connected in the correct sequence, preventing dangerous conditions.
- Live Testing: With the power re-energised, further tests are carried out: Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing: To verify that protective devices (fuses, circuit breakers, RCDs) would operate quickly enough in the event of a fault, minimising the risk of electric shock. RCD (Residual Current Device) Testing: To confirm that RCDs trip within the required timeframes, providing vital protection against electric shock.
- Comprehensive Report: Upon completion, you will receive a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report. This formal document will outline the findings of the inspection, categorising any observations with clear codes: C1 (Danger Present): Immediate remedial action required. C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Urgent remedial action required. C3 (Improvement Recommended): While not immediately dangerous, these are recommendations for improving the safety or functionality of your electrical system. FI (Further Investigation Required): Indicates a potential issue that needs further examination.
Should any remedial work be necessary, our team will provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. We are committed to helping you ensure your electrical installations are safe, efficient, and fully compliant, providing exceptional service throughout Essex, London, and Kent from our Maldon base.
