1) What are electrical services for landlords?
Typically an EICR or electrical installation condition report makes up part of the electrical services for landlords. As a private landlord in Hebden Bridge, you have a legal responsibility to provide safe electrical installations for tenants. During an EICR inspection, fixtures such as the lighting, consumer unit, outlets, switches and electrical wiring are inspected.
JP Electrical also provides PAT testing or portable appliance testing of all moveable electrical appliances such as the microwave and refrigerator.
In both PAT and EICR’s, our main goal is to identify safety concerns, areas of high risk and where we think electrical efficiency could be improved.

Periodically investing the electrical installations will help to minimise the risk of any hazards such as electrocution or electrical fires. This way both tenants and landlords in Hebden Bridge can feel confident with electrical installation at the property.
