Electrical Testing For Landlords In Great Yarmouth From June 1st 2020, it became mandatory for landlords in England to ensure that all electrical installations within the rental property are thoroughly tested by a professional electrician before a new tenancy by July 1st 2020. For any existing tenancies, electrical testing must be carried out by April 1st 2021.
Electrical tests must be carried out every 5 years to ensure all electrical appliances and sources are in good, working order and your tenants are safe when living in your property. Landlords must provide a copy of the most recent Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to tenants to prove that the property they are living in is completely safe.
At AC Electrical , we specialise in the provision of electrical testing for private landlords and their rental properties in Great Yarmouth. For more information, call us on: 01493 603 132 .

The Importance Of Electrical Testing Ensuring all electrical appliances within your rental property are deemed safe is very important. Some electrical appliances are used on a daily basis and over time, their function begins to change and can potentially cause issues such as a fire or accidental shock, so it is important that electrical testing is carried out.
When we inspect your appliances, we test their performance and polarity for connections. We check them to see if they comply with the electrical safety regulations and tag them to prove they have been tested and are in safe, working order.
Electrical fires are very common in UK households, but luckily our highly skilled electricians know exactly what to look for in order to reduce the risk and keep your tenants safe. If there is a fault, it could likely lead to injury, so ensuring these products are maintained reduces the risk of this and the possibility of facing legal action.
