Electrician in Norwich for Electrical Safety Checks
Did you know that a private homeowner should have their electrics checked every ten years by a qualified electrician? Most people are not aware that this is recommended by the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
The reason for this recommended inspection frequency is that a lot can change in an electrical system within 10 years.
- Connections can become loose
- Equipment can begin to overheat
- Earthing can fail
- Cable insulation can degrade
- Trip switches can deteriorate
Check your fuse box or consumer unit for the sticker that says “Date of Last Inspection”. If the date was more than 10 years ago it is definitely time for an inspection!
Safety electrical checks / EICR inspections are vital to ensure the continued safe operation of your electrical system. This can be even more important in commercial premises where inspection frequency is shorter than in domestic premises.
