The Process - Electrical Testing Ducklington
When you commission an EICR in Ducklington from Prestige Heating and Electrical Services the following information details the process:
The power is switched off.
The electrician starts the testing. The checks include not only wiring, but also the fuse board circuit breakers and Residual Current Devices, earthing and bonding arrangements, and other parts of your home’s electrical installation which are hidden from view.
During the testing our Ducklington electrician will fill in a detailed multi-paged report, which will identify any electrical issues and failures to meet the current regulations, according to a set of codes, giving grades to prioritise any electrical repairs or remedial work needed.
The report is returned to the office to be produced, signed and then sent to you. The report will detail all the test results including any faults found which are graded accordingly:
- Faults found that are C1 indicate an immediately dangerous situation and would be dealt with straight away on site;
- Faults found that are C2 mean potential danger with immediate work needed;
- Faults found that are C3 mean improvement is recommended;
- FI means further investigation is needed without delay.
We will provide a no obligation fairly priced quote for your consideration if remedial works are required.
