Inspection and Testing
Domestic Electrical Testing (EICR) in Charlbury
Electrical faults are responsible for around fifty percent of house fires in the UK, this is according to the Electrical Safety-First organisation (the recognised authority on electrical safety). The best way to ensure your home doesn’t become a statistic for an electrical fire in Charlbury and the local areas of Kingham, Ascott under Wychwood and Leafield is to make sure the property has an up to date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) from a trusted local electrical firm like Prestige Heating and Electrical Services.
Landlords in Charlbury are legally required to arrange for an EICR every five years – or when there is a change of tenancy in their rental property. There’s no legislation for homeowners to have an EICR in Charlbury, but for safety’s sake it is recommended that it is done at least once every 10 years. It’s also becoming common practice to have an EICR performed in Charlbury when a property is sold.

Electrical Testing in Charlbury
- What Happens?
As all properties are different sizes there is no standard set time to carry out electrical testing it may take a couple of hours or it may take a few, the one thing to note is that during test the power in your home will be off.
Part of the testing involves our Charlbury electricians checking the electrical installations, including the wiring, fuse board, earthing and bonding, circuitry, sockets and light switches. Our electrician will be looking for signs of damage and deterioration, defects and any other signs that your electrical system in Charlbury is not up to regulatory standards or could pose a danger to you, any other occupants and your property.
During the test our Charlbury electrician will fill in a detailed multi-paged report, and once it is typed up and signed a copy will be sent to you.
If there are any faults found that will be detailed; C1 indicate an immediately dangerous situation and would be dealt with straight away on site; any C2 faults mean potential danger with immediate work needed; any C3 faults mean improvement is recommended; and an FI means further investigation is needed without delay.
