Testing And Inspection
Electrical testing is one of the main areas of expertise we focus on at JLM Electrical Solutions. Simply put, it’s imperative that your electrical installations and appliances are tested. Not only does it demonstrate your electrical systems are safe and in the right shape, but it also ensures you’re on the right side of the law.
The importance of an EICR
An EICR, also known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is essentially mandatory to cover your electrical installation. Okay, it might not necessarily be a legal requirement to have an EICR, but many legal documents specify this report as being one that satisfies their requirements. An example of these requirements is The Electricity at Work Act. Along with residential households needing an EICR for electrical installations, commercial properties – from retail stores to hospitals – also need the report.
Not only that, but you’ll struggle to receive any coverage for your property from insurers without an EICR. If you’re missing insurance, this might result in you having to cover all costs if an employee or customer suffers from electrocution on your premises. Plus, if you are a landlord and your tenant were to be electrocuted because of unsafe electrics – the type that would be picked up by an EICR – you could end up being prosecuted.
Thankfully, our team of expert electricians can help with your EICR needs. Our service is renowned for its effectiveness and accuracy, and this means your operation will only experience minimal disruption at most.
Electrical PAT test
When it comes to gaining an electrical test certificate, one of the most common ones is the PAT certificate. PAT, which stands for Portable Appliance Testing, is where electrical-based equipment and appliances are examined to guarantee they are safe to use. It is recommended that PAT is carried out on an annual basis.
It’s fair to say that the majority of electrical safety defects can be identified via a visual examination. For other defects, however, they can only be spotted via testing, which is where PAT comes into play.
However, you don’t want this testing to be done by any electrician you find. You want it to be completed by an experienced, fully-qualified electrician that knows all the ins and outs about PAT and other tests. They should also be supported by cutting edge electrical testing equipment, the type that ensures all examinations are completed to the best possible standard.
The good news is that’s exactly what JLM provides.
