Electrical Testing & Inspections

All electrical installations will deteriorate over time as they are a working mechanism made up of various components and working systems.

It is important that you ensure you carry out checks on the condition of your electrical system at regular intervals.
This will help identify any faults or defects which could require improvement and will ensure the continued operation of the installation in a safe and effective manner.

There are two kinds of checks that can be carried out and we recommend that you always
employ a registered electrician to carry out such checks.

A visual inspection is a basic check to identify any visible signs of
defects, damage or deterioration.

No circuit testing will be undertaken, so your electricity will likely
remain on during the inspection.

The electrician will need to be given access to all of the rooms
in your home. The report will typically take around 1-2 hour to
complete depending on the size of the property.

Notes will be taken by the electrician as part of the visual
inspection and a Visual Inspection Report (VIR) will be issued to the
homeowner at the end.

The Visual Inspection report may record a number of observations
and recommendations and provide an overall summary of the
condition of the installation.

An electrical installation condition report (EICR) identifies any
damage, deterioration, defects and/or conditions which may give
rise to danger along with observations for which improvement
is recommended.

It’s a more detailed report than a Visual Inspection and will involve the
testing of various circuits which will require the turning off of the
electrics at the main supply. This allows the electrician to identify
any possible hidden defects or issues that cannot be identified
during a VIR.

The purpose of an EICR (also known as periodic inspection and
testing of an electrical installation), is to determine, so far as is
reasonably practicable, whether the installation is in a satisfactory
condition for continued service.

Homeowners often ask for, or obtain a condition report as part
of a house sale. Similarly, landlords with an increasing awareness
of their electrical safety obligations undertake regular periodic
inspections in relation to their rental properties.

It is generally recommended that an EICR is carried out every
ten years (three for privately rented properties) or when there is a
change of occupancy in a dwelling.

Typically an EICR will take around 3-4 hours to complete,
depending on the size of a property and the number of circuits
requiring testing.

Fire Alarm Installation

There are varied options of format with fire systems, they all function on the same simple idea…

A sensor activates, the control panel sees the change and then notifies others that a fire has occurred. The sensor can be manual (a call point) or automatic (a smoke or heat detector).

Informing others is done in two ways: Strobes and sounders all through a building and remote alerts such as getting a fire service response by automatically connecting with a monitoring centre or auto dialler linked to a number of phones.

The fire system format can differ based on numerous factors: budget available, design considerations, building size, business processes, fire-risk-assessment results and insurer’s needs.

The four formats are:

Conventional fire alarms have detectors wired together in groups to give a simple geographical idea of where the fire is e.g. third floor, fourth floor etc. Each set of devices is described as a zone. A zone drawing by the control unit then shows where the alert has been picked up. It is a basic system but adequate for many small / medium sized companies.

Addressable systems also cable detectors together but critically they can signal precisely which unit has activated. Lots more units can be cabled on a loop. The units operate like conventional components but can indicate their address by setting switches on the base. These fire systems are frequently used in big premises.

Analogue Addressable systems are known as intelligent detection systems. The units in addressable and conventional systems are fairly dumb while in an analogue addressable operation the units have some built-in processing and can work out whether they have activated, shorted out or need cleaning. Likewise, sounders and other components can be put on on the same loop making design very adaptable. These Systems are suitable for bigger, complicated premises and businesses.

Radio detection systems, as they sound, are wire free. The units are costly but there are savings on labour. These systems can be a 100% analogue addressable or simply an addition to a conventional system where running wires would turn out to be awkward.

Consumer Units

If you’re experiencing problems with your electricity supply either tripping or blowing fuses, you may have too many appliances running. The solution maybe to replace or upgrade your electric fuse box, or take the opportunity to have a consumer unit installed.

There are four types of consumer units which are:

Main switch consumer units don’t come with RCDs or MCBs, but you can add them later if you prefer. Commonly, electricians use these units to populate them with RCBOs.

This protects each individual circuit from overload. Individual protection prevents a circuit ‘trip.’

As the name suggests, this consumer unit has two RCDs and the main switch.

The circuits installed are split into two, so half the circuits go through one RCD and the other half go through the other RCD.

This consumer unit is similar to a dual RCD consumer unit, with the addition of a number of non-RCD protected ways or circuits.

It’s a flexible board allowing the installation of independent circuits with RCBOs to be used for specific circuits such as smoke alarms or MCBs if allowed. A flexible unit offers the installer more choice over the number of independent ways. Brands include Crabtree, Hager & Schneider.

RCD consumer units are used in smaller areas like garages and showers. They don’t have a main switch and usually have four circuits or fewer.
