Home Electrical Inspection & Testing Services
Maintaining Electrical Safety & Compliance
Electricity powers daily essentials such as working from home, food preservation and entertainment. A malfunctioning electrical system can create serious safety hazards, including electric shocks and nuisance tripping.
We ensure your property’s electrics are in satisfactory condition and meet legal requirements.
Benefits of Home Electrical Inspection & Testing with PWS Electrical
Keeping your home’s electrical systems in top shape is vital for safety and efficiency. Electrical hazards can reveal themselves over time, often without obvious signs. Faulty wiring, outdated consumer units and damaged accessories can cause shocks, power outages and increased insurance premiums. Our inspections help spot risks before they become dangerous situations.
We conduct thorough home electrical safety inspections to prevent complete system failures and lower your electricity bills.
Stay Compliant with Electrical Safety Regulations
Landlords must conduct electrical safety checks to comply with regulations and keep tenants safe. Both residential and commercial properties need valid electrical safety certificates, while homeowners benefit from improved safety.
Our electrically competent persons inspect and test fuse boxes, circuit breakers, sockets and wiring to ensure compliance with IET wiring regulations.
Common issues, such as lack of RCD protection and loose connections that cause burning, will require remedial work to address these issues and meet safety standards.
Preventative Maintenance
Regular electrical home inspections prevent hazards like electric shocks, faulty wiring and outdated installations.
Older installations can be dangerous as dated components may fail and often draw excess power, increasing electricity costs. Inspections detect issues early, avoiding costly remedial action, potentially dangerous conditions or system failure.
Our residential electrical safety inspections help locate faulty circuits, removing hazards and inconvenience from nuisance tripping.
Peace of Mind
Our qualified electricians perform in-depth electrical inspections, offering both homeowners and landlords reassurance that their electrical appliances and systems are safe. We also check the function of smoke and heat alarms, ensuring they operate smoothly so you can sleep peacefully at night.
We help landlords provide tenants with the assurance that the property is protected and free from issues.
These benefits can make the property more appealing and seem like a safe place to move into.
Protect Your Home & Family
Electrical safety is not just about compliance; it’s about protecting lives. Home electrical testing lowers the risk of electrical shocks, fire hazards, and immediately dangerous faults.
We conduct visual inspections and further investigations when necessary.
Further investigations could include testing circuits for overloads, tracing faults and checking earthing and bonding for safety compliance.
Our Range of Home Electrical Inspection & Testing Services
PWS Electrical offers an array of home electrical inspections and testing services for your peace of mind and safety compliance. From routine checks to detailed inspection condition reports, we provide expert assessments tailored to your needs.
Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate & Compliance
Landlords must provide a satisfactory electrical installation condition report before renting out a property. The test must be carried out every 5 years.
This certificate, commonly referred to as an electrical safety report, confirms that the property’s electrical components meet safety standards. If a landlord fails to obtain this, it could lead to fines of up to £30,000 from the local authority.
Domestic Electrical Fault Finding
Our domestic electrical fault-finding services identify faults in circuits, wiring, and electrical appliances. Issues such as moisture entering accessories can cause RCDs to trip and isolate power to sockets and lighting.
No matter the issue, our qualified electricians diagnose and resolve problems efficiently.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Modern homes are full of electrical devices and appliances that make our lives easier. These include smart plugs, bulbs, refrigerators and coffee makers. Our team of electricians inspect and test plug in appliances and accessories to ensure they are safe to use around the home.
Domestic EICR & Fire Alarm Testing
Often over looked by homeowners is the requirement for domestic properties to have an EICR completed every 10 years. When moving to a new property the home report does not include an electrical test. If the fusebox looks modern with circuit breakers it will be given category 1 or 2 status, this does not access the actual condition of the installation. We highly recommend having an EICR completed on entry to a property to identity any upgrades required before decoration and flooring is updated.
PWS conduct periodic inspections of fire alarm installations including functional testing. We install domestic LD2 fire alarm systems that has been required in Scottish homes and rentals since 2022 to provide effective protection for your home.
After installation, we test and confirm that your alarm works correctly and provide a certificate. This confirms that your property is safeguarded in the event of a fire. At PWS Electrical, we’re committed to helping you meet electrical and fire safety requirements.
