Inspection and Testing

You cannot see electricity. Cables are usually hidden inside our walls, and consumer units are often hidden in cupboards, so it is not surprising that we forget to check the condition of our electrical installation for damage or wear and tear.


All electrical installations deteriorate with age and faulty and old wiring is one of the main causes of electrical fires in the home.  


They should therefore be inspected and tested at regular intervals to check whether they are in a satisfactory condition for continued use. Such safety checks are commonly referred to as 'periodic inspection and testing'.


Once a periodic inspection has been completed, you will be issued with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).


A periodic inspection will reveal


  • Reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded.
  • Find any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards.
  • Identify any defective electrical work.
  • Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding.


Tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe. A schedule of circuits is also provided, which is invaluable for a property.


How often is a periodic inspection required?


Your electrics should be inspected and tested every:

  • 10 years for an owner-occupied home.
  • 5 years for a rented home.

Other times when a periodic inspection should be carried out are:

  • When a property is being prepared for letting or change of occupancy. 
  • Before selling a property or buying a previously-occupied property.


What can I expect from Duffy Electrical Services?


Nothing less than a very comprehensive and honest 8 page report which will detail the condition of your installation with photos, and a clear explanation of what and where any defects are, why they are an issue and what needs to be done to rectify and make safe those issues.


We will also offer a free and no obligation quote for any remedial works needed.




P.S You can't put a price on peace of mind !!
