Have your property's electrical installation checked by a certified electrician
An electrical installation condition report consists of a thorough inspection and testing of an electrical system within a property by a certified electrician to determine if it is safe and fully functioning. Electrical systems can’t last forever. With time, they start to break down, and faults begin to appear. Some of these faults can be dangerous to the inhabitants of the property. That is why electrical systems have to be inspected periodically.
The purpose of having such a report is to discover the faults within an electrical system. Here are the kinds of details that are usually featured in a report like this.
Code C1 – Dangerous faults that require immediate repairs.
Code C2 – No immediate danger but faults are discovered and should be repaired soon.
Code C3 – The electrical system is functioning, but slight improvements could be done.
To give you a better understanding of what the inspection of your electrical system entails, here are some of the main procedures that will be carried out during the service.
The electrical circuits of the system will be carefully tested to determine they are not at risk of overloading.
The equipment will be evaluated to determine if it poses risks of overheating or overloading.
Areas that might be deemed risky in terms of electric shock will be marked.
Any type of deterioration to the system will be established.
Problems with electrical fixtures, wiring and consumer units will be marked.
Bonding or earthing of equipment will be evaluated properly.
The electrical appliances will be checked as well.
This is just a small portion of the various procedures that will be carried out. The final report will include a comprehensive analysis of the entire system, and recommendations for improvement will be outlined.
