What does a commercial EICR electrician do?

A commercial EICR Electrician investigates the electrical installations at a property to ensure they are working correctly and safely. This includes an inspection of all lighting fixtures, switches, plug sockets and consumer units. Additional electrical features on site will need to be inspected too, this includes EV chargers and solar panels.

As commercial businesses tend to use a greater number of electrical appliances, complex machinery, office equipment and even kitchen appliances, there is a greater need to ensure all electrical installations can safely support electrical equipment in use. As commercial EICR electricians, we conduct visual inspections and more in depth checks using specialist testing tools to identify any electrical faults so that your business operations continue to run smoothly and safely.

Benefits of a commercial EICR electrician?

Commercial businesses in Dorset have a duty of care to make sure all individuals on site  are safe and that the risk of electrical related hazards are low.  

Regular EICRs will also save you money and time in the long run as frequent inspections should identify any flaws or faults sooner before they can escalate and become more hazardous.

As innovative electrical engineers here at Carmichael Electrical Services, we always give our clients the best advice when it comes to microgeneration and better electrical efficiency. An EICR report can identify areas within the property where electrical systems may be less efficient and  suggest improvements to help reduce energy consumption.

Commercial EICR, the legal requirements

As a commercial business owner in Dorset, you do have a legal obligation to ensure the electrical installations at your premises are safe and void of any potential electrical risks.  

One key point to highlight is how often an EICR should be conducted, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states that commercial properties must conduct an EICR every 5 years. An EICR may be required more frequently depending on the nature of the commercial business and if the premises has undergone a full rewire or use electrical equipment more frequently.  

You might find that a satisfactory EICR is compulsory for some insurance policies such as buildings or premises, the absence of an EICR could leave you in a sticky situation as policies could be null and void in the case of an electrical emergency.
