Many homeowners believe Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) are only required for rental properties.
As a domestic electrician in Newton Abbot, we regularly carry out EICRs for homeowners who want reassurance that their electrical installation is safe and fit for continued use.
Why have an electrical safety report?
In older homes across Kingsteignton and Teignmouth, electrical systems may not have been inspected for decades. Over time, cables deteriorate, electrical loads increase, and safety standards change. An EICR identifies issues such as ageing wiring, overloaded circuits, and missing RCD protection before faults or failures occur.
Homeowners searching for an electrician in Exeter often request an electrical safety report when buying a property. Many mortgage providers and insurers now recommend an EICR, particularly where the property is older or the electrical history is unknown.
Electrical safety reports are also commonly requested ahead of renovation work. In Torquay and Paignton, we regularly carry out EICRs before kitchens, extensions, or redecoration projects begin. This ensures existing circuits are suitable before additional demand is added.
Family homes benefit greatly from periodic inspections. Where children, elderly relatives, or vulnerable occupants are present, early identification of electrical issues can significantly reduce risk.
An EICR provides a clear written report detailing the condition of your electrical installation and any recommended improvements. Even where no urgent work is required, it offers valuable peace of mind.
