Many homeowners overlook electrical testing, yet it’s one of the most critical steps in safeguarding a property and the people living in it. Without regular checks, faults in your electrical system can remain hidden until they become dangerous, or worse, fatal. That’s where our Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) come in. Think of them as the MOT for your home’s electrics, providing a thorough examination to ensure everything is safe and compliant with current regulations.
At Bison, we regularly visit homes where electrical issues have gone unnoticed for too long: issues that could have been easily prevented with timely testing. Electrical installations deteriorate over time, and whether you’ve just moved in or lived in your home for years, it’s likely time for a check. According to the Institute of Electrical Engineers, residential properties should be tested at least every five years or with each change of occupancy.
Our Beccles EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) include a detailed inspection and testing process using specialist equipment. Our qualified engineers examine your consumer unit, cables, sockets, switches and other accessories to check for compliance with the latest IET wiring regulations. We assess everything from the condition of your wiring to the effectiveness of your earthing and bonding systems. The goal is to identify any potential fire risks, exposed live wires or wear and tear that could pose a hazard.
A typical inspection in a three-bedroom house takes around six hours. Afterwards, you’ll receive a clear report detailing the condition of your installation. If it’s marked unsatisfactory, we’ll explain why and provide a quote for any remedial work. Results may range from immediate dangers (C1), to potentially dangerous faults (C2), or simply areas that need further investigation or improvement (FI or C3).
If you’re in the process of buying a property, an EICR can save you from costly surprises. It offers peace of mind – and possibly a bargaining tool – by highlighting any hidden electrical issues.
