Ensure Saftey and Compliance with Byard Electrical

Act Now to Protect Your Home with Comprehensive Electrical Inspection and Testing Services
Regular electrical inspections and testing are not just a good idea—they're crucial for maintaining the safety, efficiency, and compliance of your property’s electrical system. At Byard Electrical, we offer professional inspection and testing services, including Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), to ensure your electrical installations are in top condition.

Why It Matters

Faulty or outdated electrical systems pose serious risks, including fire hazards, electrical shocks, and costly repairs. Ensuring your property’s electrical system is safe and compliant can prevent these dangers, protecting both your property and its occupants.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), often referred to as an MOT for your electrical system, identifies any faults or non-conformities in the installation. These issues are categorized by severity, ensuring that your electrical system is both safe and compliant with current regulations.

Why You Should Get an EICR:

Peace of Mind

Regular EICRs provide assurance that your electrical systems are safe.

Early Fault Detection

Identifies issues before they become major problems, potentially saving on costly repairs.

Compliance

Ensures that your property meets current safety regulations, avoiding legal and insurance issues.

New Builds

A thorough, independent EICR can reveal hidden faults that should be repaired now, ensuring the safety and longevity of your electrical system.
