The best way to ensure your home doesn’t become a statistic for an electrical fire in Carterton and the local areas of Shilton, Brize Norton and Alvescot 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 Carterton 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 Carterton, 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 Carterton when a property is sold.
