EICR in Devon

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks the safety of your wiring, fuse board and circuits. Landlords are legally required to have valid certification, and homeowners are strongly advised to have inspections carried out periodically.

Our EICR’s are considered the most thorough and in-depth Electrical Installation Condition Report’s throughout East Devon and the surrounding areas.

Attached to our EICR’s you will find photo’s of:

• • Your incoming supply head and meter
  • Inside your Consumer Unit
  • Consumer Unit Cover on showing circuits
  • Consumer Unit Lid showing Test Sticker
  • Gas Bond Connection if present and accessible
  • Water Bond Connection if present and accessible
  • Your incoming supply readings, known as Ze and PFC
  • RCD/ and sample RCBO readings
  • A few sample circuit readings know as Earth Loop Impedance or Zs

We consider photo’s attached to our reports vital because not only do they offer proof that the EICR was carried out properly, they also offer protection. If a tenant tampers with the Consumer Unit or adds circuits without consent and a fault or dangerous situation occurs then the EICR with the photo’s provided act as evidence that at time of test these alterations or tampering were not present.

During your Electrical Installation Condition Report when power to the Consumer Unit is isolated we carry out a full service on it.

This involved firstly and foremost ensuring all terminals inside the Consumer Unit are tight and secure. In our experience if there is ever a major problem with an Electrical Installation it occurs inside the Consumer Unit and is usually due to loose connections inside the Consumer Unit. Loose connections result in a much higher resistance which in turns causes heat, which can result in heat damage including potential fire damage.
Over time terminals can become loose so we take the opportunity to ensure all terminals inside the Consumer Unit are secure when power is isolated at time of test.

While power is isolated we mechanically awaken RCD’s and RCBO’s. Over time the mechanics within these devices can become sticky and sometimes seize due to inactivity. Normally attached to a Consumer Unit there should be a sticker indicating that the RCD’s or RCBO’s should be tested quarterly. Most times this is ignored hence the reason we carry out this procedure at time of testing.

Most domestic properties should be inspected every 10 years, or every 5 years for rental properties. Older installations or high-usage environments may need more frequent testing.

Electrical Compliance supports a wide range of locations across Devon, including Honiton, Exeter, East Devon and surrounding towns and rural communities. The branches listed on this page are designed to help visitors find information relevant to their local area while understanding the services available nearby. Because Devon covers a large geographical region with a mix of coastal properties, countryside homes and urban developments, having dedicated branch pages allows electrical compliance advice to be more specific and practical. Each location page highlights common electrical needs within that area, whether that involves periodic inspections, fault diagnosis or general electrical safety support.

Creating individual branch pages makes it easier for customers to find information tailored to their town or district while also improving clarity about service coverage. Electrical installations vary depending on property age and local infrastructure, so breaking the service area into separate locations allows Electrical Compliance to provide more relevant guidance. From a customer perspective, it also means you can quickly confirm whether your area is covered without needing to search through long lists of place names. These branch pages are regularly expanded to reflect growing service coverage across Devon.

Yes, the core electrical compliance services remain consistent across all Devon branches. This includes Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), electrical fault finding and diagnosis, safety inspections and general compliance work. However, certain locations may experience different types of electrical issues depending on the age and style of properties in that area. For example, older rural homes may require more investigation into ageing wiring, while newer developments may focus more on upgrading consumer units or improving protective devices. The branch pages help explain these local differences while keeping service standards consistent.

The easiest way to find the right branch page is to select the location closest to your property or the area where the electrical work is required. Each branch is organised geographically to make navigation simple, allowing homeowners and businesses to access relevant information quickly. If you’re unsure which location applies, choosing the nearest major town is usually the best option, as Electrical Compliance covers surrounding villages and nearby communities within each branch region. The goal is to make it straightforward for customers to find accurate local guidance without confusion.

Branch pages are designed for both domestic and commercial customers. Electrical Compliance works with homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses across Devon, and each branch page reflects this wide range of clients. Whether you need an electrical safety inspection for a rental property, fault diagnosis for a workplace or general compliance support for a commercial premises, the information provided within each branch section is intended to guide you towards the right service.
