When it comes to the safety of your electrical installations, you can’t afford to take risks. That’s why RCD Electrical provides professional, NICEIC-approved EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) and PAT Testing services throughout Harrow. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or business operator, our expert inspections ensure your electrical systems meet all legal and safety standards.
What is an EICR and Why is it Essential?
An EICR is a formal document produced following an assessment of the electrical installations within a property. The inspection identifies potential hazards, outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and any issues of non-compliance with current regulations.
As of recent legislation, landlords in Harrow and across the UK are legally required to obtain an EICR at least every five years or with each new tenancy. Businesses also need regular EICRs to comply with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. RCD Electrical offers complete, hassle-free inspections with detailed reporting and remedial support.
What is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) involves the examination and testing of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This includes items like kettles, computers, power tools, and other plug-in devices.
At RCD Electrical, our certified electricians conduct both visual and instrument testing. Each appliance is labelled, recorded, and reported so you can stay compliant and assured that your equipment poses no risk to users.
