Re-energize Electrical writes the condition report. Re-energize Electrical carries out an EICR, the Electrical Installation Condition Report, in Birmingham and leaves you with the written result for the fixed wiring. ## How much is an EICR in Birmingham? An EICR in Birmingham is quoted for that property, because the job has no set price. The price follows how many circuits are on the fuse board and whether the building has more than one board. Testing stays with wiring that can be reached. Repairs are priced on their own. - EICR: Price on request - The quote covers checking the accessible fixed wiring, the fuse board and some sockets, switches and lights, plus the instrument tests. - The written condition report, including the readings and the C1, C2, C3 and FI notes, is part of the quote. - Repairs, plug in appliances and fire alarm systems sit outside the inspection, and any repair price is written out before that work begins. - More circuits, another fuse board, or outlets that are awkward to reach all change the quote. ## EICR across Birmingham We serve Birmingham from our base in Swadlincote. - Four Oaks - Mere Green - Boldmere - Wylde Green - Walmley - Minworth - Erdington - Pype Hayes - Castle Vale - B23 - B24 - B35 - B72 - B73 - B74 - B76 ## What happens on the day On the day of an EICR in Birmingham the fixed wiring is tested in order, from the incoming supply to the outlets. Power goes off in stages so each circuit can be measured. You leave with the findings talked through. ### Opening the fuse board Work starts at the meter and at the fuse board, also called the consumer unit, where the breakers sit. We check the main earth. We check the bonding that joins metal pipework to that earth. The front of the board then comes off. We need the space around the board clear of stored boxes and cupboard clutter before that front comes off. ### Readings with each circuit dead We tell you before each circuit is switched off. One circuit at a time then goes off. The test instrument checks that the covering on the cable still stops current leaking. It checks that the earth wire runs unbroken. It checks that live and neutral are the right way round. Computers and broadband equipment need to be off while this part of the visit runs. ### Outlets once the power returns Power comes back and some socket outlets, switches and fixed lights are opened and tested. The visit does not open every socket and light in the building. Rooms, garages and outbuildings need to be unlocked so those outlets can be reached. The instrument checks that a live wire touching earth would still make the breaker open quickly. It also times each RCD, the switch that cuts power when current leaks away to earth. ### Codes and the report you keep We talk through the findings before we leave. We name anything that needs attention straight away. C1 means danger is present, so the installation is made safe before we go. C2 means a possible danger. C3 means an improvement that is not dangerous. FI means the point could not be settled on the day and needs more investigation straight away. The written report, with the readings, goes to your email inside a few working days. ## What people ask before an EICR in Birmingham ### Do you carry out EICRs in Birmingham? Yes.
