Periodic Testing and Inspecting – EICR
As the owner of a rented property, it is your responsibility to ensure that your tenants are living in a safe environment. One of the most important aspects of this responsibility is to ensure that the electrical installations and appliances within your property are safe and up to standard. This is where registered electricians come in. They are trained and qualified to carry out periodic inspections and tests on your property’s electrical systems, ensuring that they are safe, compliant with regulations, and functioning efficiently. By using our registered electricians to inspect and test your property, you are not only fulfilling your legal obligations but also protecting your tenants and property from potential electrical hazards, such as electrical fires or electric shocks. It is therefore essential to choose a registered electrician to periodically test and inspect your rented properties, providing you with peace of mind and ensuring the safety of your tenants.
In England, under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 landlords are required to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested, at least every five years, by a person who is qualified and competent.
This applies to new tenancies from the 1st July 2020 and to all other tenancies from the 1st April 2021.
