EICR Testing in Chichester
At CD Electrical, we understand that electrical safety and regulatory compliance are critical for both homes and businesses in Chichester. That’s why our EICR testing in Chichester is designed to deliver thorough, efficient, and reliable inspections from certified professionals.
Why EICR Testing in Chichester is Essential
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) are mandatory for landlords and highly recommended for homeowners and business owners. They help:
-
✅ Ensure occupant safety by identifying hazards that could cause shocks or fires
-
✅ Meet legal requirements (landlords must test every five years or at change of tenancy; homeowners recommended every ten years)
-
✅ Satisfy insurance and commercial obligations—many insurers demand up-to-date EICRs for coverage
-
✅ Prevent issues before they escalate, saving on repairs and downtime
