- Periodic Domestic Electrical Testing

The best way to ensure your home doesn’t become a statistic in Stanford in the Vale and the local areas of Faringdon, Shellingford and Buckland is to ensure your property has an up to date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) from a trusted local electrical firm like Prestige Heating and Electrical Services.
An EICR is issued to Stanford in the Vale homeowners and landlords once a comprehensive inspection and test of the electrical systems and installation of a residence is carried out. Prestige has a team of competent, certified and qualified electrical testers serving the SN7 postcode area who carry out EICR inspections and testing in households in and around Stanford in the Vale and the local villages.
Landlords in Stanford in the Vale are now legally required to arrange for an EICR every five years – or when there is a change of tenancy in their rental property.
