FAQs: electrical maintenance and testing in Newtownabbey
How often does an office need an EICR?
Guidance suggests at least every five years for offices and shops, with shorter intervals for higher-risk premises. The inspector sets the next date on the report.
What happens if the EICR finds faults?
Faults are coded C1, C2 or FI (further investigation). We quote the remedial work so the installation can be brought back to a satisfactory condition.
