Landlord electrical services include EICRs or Electrical Installation Condition Report, essential upgrades such as rewiring and consumer units and new installations such as lighting and extractor fans.
Landlords have a legal obligation to provide safe electrical systems in rental properties as mandated in The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. JP Electrical works closely with landlords in Huddersfield to make sure electrical installations are compliant and modern. We’re more than happy to work around the busy schedules of landlords and tenants, doing our very best to be discreet. We’re here to offer a professional service and guide you through landlord electrical services.
Back to top1) What are examples of landlord electrical services?
An EICR is a mandatory electrical inspection conducted at rental properties every 5 years. The inspection checks for faults and signs of electrical issues which if left could be hazardous. Following on from an inspection, any remedial work will need to be carried out to make sure electrical systems are safe for tenants. If the landlord provides electrical appliances such as a kettle, vacuum cleaner or washing machine, a PAT test will need to be carried out to check the wiring and appliances are in good condition. While working with one of our loyal and long standing clients at their rental property on Grange Avenue in Birkby, we installed a new extractor fan at the Victorian terraced property. The landlord has always met regulations to make sure tenants were safe at the property so removing the slightly dated extractor fan was just as important, albeit a simple job for the team.
Back to top2) How much do landlord electrical services cost?
An EICR in the Huddersfield area costs between £60 - £250 but this will depend on the size of property and number of electrical circuits which need testing. PAT testing typically costs between £60 - £100 for up to 10 appliances. We had worked with the landlord on Grange Avenue a few years ago to conduct an EICR and one of the major faults was a consumer unit upgrade. The older unit was outdated and didn't meet current safety standards so consumer unit replacement cost between £400 - £500. Our most recent landlord's electrical services at the property required replacing the faulty and outdated extractor fan in the bathroom. The tenants had noticed signs of stubborn black mould so the only option was to install a modern, powerful extractor fan which ranges in cost from £150 - £400.
